Weapons in Pixel Blade (Roblox, developed by Frost Blade Games) determine your attack patterns, skill loadouts, and scaling through dungeons and raids. Gear spans five distinct rarities: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and limited Vaulted event equipment. Unlocking a weapon's unique active ability requires upgrading it past Level 1 using duplicates collected from drops, chests, and raid clears.
Weapon Rarity Overview and Duplicate Requirements
Upgrading a weapon improves base damage and critical strike chance at specific milestone levels, with its active skill unlocking at Level 2. Upgrades progress retroactively by collecting duplicate copies of the weapon in your inventory.
| Level | Upgrade Effects |
|---|---|
| Level 1 | Base starting level for all weapons |
| Level 2 | Increased damage + Weapon-specific ability unlocked |
| Level 3 | Increased damage + Increased Critical Strike Chance |
| Level 4 | Increased damage |
| Level 5 | Increased damage + Increased Critical Strike Chance |
| Level 6 | Increased damage |
| Level 7 | Increased damage |
| Level 8 | Increased damage + Increased Critical Strike Chance |
Each rarity tier requires a different progression curve of duplicate copies to reach subsequent upgrade ranks. Official wiki tracking lists the following duplicate progression paths:
- Common Duplicate Requirements: 1 > 8 > 20 > 50 > 100 > 200 > 400 > 1,000 > 2,500
- Rare Duplicate Requirements: 0 > 4 > 10 > 20 > 40 > 65 > 110 > 250
- Epic Duplicate Requirements: 1 > 3 > 8 > 15 > 40 > 100 > 200
- Legendary Duplicate Requirements: 1 > 2 > 5 > 10 > 20 > 30
- Vaulted Duplicate Requirements: 1 > 2 > 1 > 2 > 1 > 1
