Introduction to Weapon Resonances

Resonating Weapons is similar to resonating Memories. The major difference is that Weapon Resonances do not require duplicates of exactly the same Weapon.

  • A 6★ Weapon can be resonated with any 6★ Weapon of your choice up to three times (three different resonance slots)
  • The same applies to 5★ Weapons

All three resonance slots of 5★ Weapons offer the same bonus and a fully resonated 5★ Weapon has comparable or even slightly higher stats than a 6★ Weapon of the same type. In Global, 6★ Weapons offer three distinct bonuses based on the resonance slot chosen. This will change in Fake Ascension.

Weapon Resonance Rework Introduced in Fake Ascension

Fake Ascension revamps and expands the Weapon Resonance system to be more flexible but it requires more planning from players chasing the upper echelons of scored content like Phantom Pain Cage and War Zone. In the CN version of PGR the investment level of an account is measured by the amount of Weapon Resonances available to each team. A typical competitive team would have five Resonances:

  • Attacker x2
  • Tank x1
  • Support/Amplifier x2

This is just a general guideline and there are exceptions. Personal skill plays an important role in PGR's scored content as well. Individual investment recommendations for Weapon Resonances can be found on each individual character's build page. Characters without Weapon Resonance recommendations are rarely used in scored content but feel free to resonate your favorite Characters' weapons anyway if you enjoy their play style. You can simply copy the resonances from a character of the same Class and Element, as they are usually the same.
