How to Get Every Iron Weapon Variant: Dagger, Claymore, Broadsword, Battleaxe and Halberd

Iron gear unlocks five fantasy designs. You only need one Iron Sword, one Iron Axe, a full set of iron armor and a shield.

Iron Sword variants

1. Iron Dagger: Hold an Iron Sword with no other required gear. This is the default look.

2. Claymore: Put on a full set of iron armor (helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots), then hold the Iron Sword.

3. Iron Broadsword: Keep the full iron armor on and add a Shield. Then hold the Iron Sword.

The shield is the only difference between the Claymore and the Broadsword. Equip or remove it to switch between the two looks.

Iron Axe variants

1. Iron Battleaxe: Hold an Iron Axe.

2. Iron Halberd: Equip a Shield and hold the Iron Axe. The Halberd only needs the axe and a shield, so full armor is not required.

Tips

• Craft a full iron armor set early. That one set unlocks both the Claymore and the Broadsword.
• If a variant doesn't appear, check that every armor piece is iron. One leather or chainmail piece breaks the full set.
• Your weapons keep their normal vanilla stats. Choose a variant based on the look you prefer, since none is stronger than another.
