Can the new dlc weapons drop from chests after you have unlocked them?
As far as I know, no. You just need to keep crafting them for now, but here’s hoping something will change about that in the future.
NOPE
You need to unlock them, craft them, upgrade them and unlock the illusions.
One is unlocked by killing 1000 foes with it and the other by killing the four Lords on Legend
I actually prefer it this way, although I’d prefer if they gave the red weapon on Legend directly instead of the Illusion
Pretty sure they did that so you would have to upgrade them yourself using red dust. I’d expect more uses for red dust in the future.
Hopefully this will come with a friendlier rate for their crafting
