In addition to Armor Variants, Dune Awakening also features Weapon Variants which are essentially weapon 'skins' that can completely change the look of your weapons.
This is not to be confused with Weapon Swatches which allow you to change the colour of your weapons.
This guide shows you all of the available Weapon Variants in Dune Awakening and how you can unlock them, including a preview of each.
Note: We'll be keeping this guide fully up to date as new Variants are released - if you think we're missing any, let us know!
