RIG Riot: All Hidden Weapon Locations

“Find a weapon while learning the ropes.”
This one’s pretty hard to miss. Near the end of the tutorial level, below a platform in the back right corner, you’ll find it sitting on the ground. This unlocks Straight and Narrow.

“Find a weapon that is closer than you think.”
Like the title suggests, this one can be found in the firing range. It’s near top of the skybox, just above the extraction pad, so put on some good boosters. Collecting this unlocks Sunshower.

“Find a weapon somewhere cagey.”
The next few weapons are all found in the arena, starting in Bandit Cage Match. This one’s not too difficult, fortunately. Just take a hard right when you spawn in, and you’ll find it below a collapsed building on the opposite end. This unlocks the Propagator.

“Find a weapon that was dropped en route to its destination.”
Another arena weapon. This one’s in Corporate Crossroads. It can be found pretty easily in the back corner of the map, sitting at ground level. This unlocks Rainstorm.

“Find a weapon that failed to provide an escape.”
The final arena weapon. You’ll probably find this one by complete accident. It’s in the militia holding cell, hidden behind the back right pillar relative to where you spawn in. This unlocks the folding blade.

“In The Wastes, find a weapon stored alongside some things it should definitely not be near.”
Opposite to where you spawn in The Wastes, there’s a small village area with 4 (presumably) explosive barrels in the back. It’s hidden just behind them. Collecting this unlocks the KRS Plasma Cannon. A very familiar weapon to lots of Armored Core fans.

“In The Facility, find a weapon stashed out of sight, just in case.”
This one took me a bit to find. In The Facility, again opposite to where you spawn on the ground level, you’ll find a long road with a ramp on both ends. The weapon is hidden under the far side of the road, opposite to the wall. This unlocks the Energy Revolver.

“In The Prison, find a weapon that was not packaged securely in transit.”
This one’s a bit hard to describe, so bear with me. There are tons of cargo boxes across The Prison, but this pile has 3 stacks of long crates sitting in front of it. It also should be in the section of the map you spawn on, which is the lowermost circle. You’ll find it sitting on top of the cargo boxes. Collecting this unlocks the Armageddon.

“In The Guts, find a weapon below the beaten path.”
This one’s a fairly easy find once you know where to look. It’s on a small platform, second lowest in the map, hidden right behind the large pillar. It’s the small black dot seen in this image. Collecting this unlocks the Mega Launcher.

“In The Nexus, find the weapon of somebody who tried and failed.”
This one’s harder to get to than it is to find. Slight spoilers ahead if you have’t beaten the game yet. First, go through The Nexus as normal, completing all the major objectives. Then, go to the center of the map and complete the boss fight. After witnessing a light show that would put Stinger to shame, the weapon should drop on the ground from the small rig that you fight. Collecting this unlocks the Siege Cannon.
