Final Fantasy XV Comrades Weapons Guide: all weapons plus advice on remodeling and upgrading to get the best weapon

 

While it's based on the same basic gameplay as the main game, the Final Fantasy XV Comrades multiplayer expansion DLC actually takes a number of mechanics from the main game and significantly adjusts and alters them to make them more fit for multiplayer online progression systems. Weapons are one such area to have had such an overhaul, since you can now upgrade, remodel and improve them alongside your own progression.

The weapon improvement system in FF15 Comrades can be a little confusing at first, but have no fear - much as with how to get and start the FF15 Comrades DLC in the first place and choosing your Kingsglaive's birthplace, we're here to break down the complicated ins-and-outs of it all. So - let's get cracking with just that!

This page is for FF15: Comrades, the multiplayer mode. If you're after weapon advice for the single player, check our our FF15 Best Weapons guide and our page on how to fully upgrade the Engine Blade.

FF15 Comrades Weapon Remodeling Guide

As you complete the first few missions and objectives in the world of FF15 Comrades, your Kingslgiave will gain access to various new resources. There's a clothes shop, your quest desk and finally - last but not least - the all-important remodeling station.

This little desk is staffed by Cid (of course), and once it's in place and lit up you can use it to improve your weapons. This menu isn't much to look at initially, but there's a surprising amount of hidden depth to this system.

At the main store in the hub area you'll find seven different weapons available. These weapons are basic, but you can upgrade them by spending monster parts you pick up as loot from missions.

Upgrading weapons improves their base stats, but each weapon has a hidden objective. If you hit that objective, you'll be able to 'remodel' thje weapon into a newer, better weapon, carrying over the stats. For example, if your Katana has at least 30 STR (Strength) stat, it can then be turned into a Warblade, the next wepaon up its evolutionary chain.

The weapons in FF15 Comrades can have upgrades in a number of areas including the game's basic stats - Strength (STR), Vitality (VIT), Magic (MAG) and Spirit (SPI) - incidentally, this is the order these things are in on the menu and in the screenshot above (see the bottom right). There's also HP (Health), MP (Magic Points) and several elemental effects. If you want to know more about the best items to use for each stat upgrade, we've got a guide page all about that.

At a glance you can find out what a weapon wants you to upgrade by looking for a progress bar under the elements in question (or by using our handy guide below!), so be sure to feed each weapon the right types of loot.

FF15 Comrades Weapons Guide: all weapons and their upgrades

When you complete the tutorial missions of FF15 Comrades you'll find yourself booted out into the game's hub area with two weapons: A Katana and some Daggers.

This isn't all you're limited to, however, and once the in-game shop opens up you'll have access to seven different weapon types. A basic weapon in each category is available immediately and can be upgraded, but as you progress you'll unlock more basic weapons that are different and have different upgrade requirements.

Below, we list every type of weapon, all of the weapons we've found so far and their upgrade requirements.

We'll also list weapon skills - special abilities that some weapons have. If you want to know more about these special abilities, check out our FF15 Comrades weapon skills & weapon effects guide. If you need help finding the best items to use remodeling any given weapon, check out our FF15 Weapon Remodeling Materials guide We'll update as we find more.
