Free players asking about F2P weapons in Anime Final Quest usually get an answer written for people who buy pulls, which is not useful. The free route into a strong weapon is real, but it is slower, it depends on luck, and it rewards players who plan their spending instead of reacting to every drop.
This page covers only what costs nothing: code rewards, Weapon Lucky Spins you bank rather than burn, and dungeon drops. Every route here is community-reported or community-tracked, and none of them comes with a guaranteed weapon attached.
Read the tiers below as targets rather than a schedule. Availability of any specific weapon through spins or drops is luck-dependent, so the plan is to recognize value when it arrives, not to expect it on a particular run.
The Three Free Routes to Anime Final Quest F2P Weapons
Each route plays a different role in a free account. Codes are the burst, spins are the lottery, and dungeons are the long grind that keeps paying while the first two cool down.
| Route | What it gives | Reality check |
|---|---|---|
| Codes | Bursts of resources, including Runes and Raid Tickets, plus awakening materials | The current three codes carry 400 Runes and 130 Raid Tickets between them; the live list is checked against the official Discord and in-game update notes |
| Weapon Lucky Spins | Randomized weapon pulls | Community advice is to bank them for promotional events rather than spend on sight |
| Dungeon drops | Weapons and gear of rising rarity | The ladder runs Rare to Mythic and late content expects Mythic, so this is the slow, steady route |
The three live codes are REAWAKENUPDATECODE, DELAYAPOLOGYEVOLVE and SOULREAPEREVOLUTION. Redeem them through the active codes list before anything else, because that burst is the closest thing a free account gets to a shortcut. Raid Tickets matter too, since raids are ticket-gated co-op boss content, and the tickets in those codes are the free entry fee.
Banking Spins Is the Whole Free Plan
For a player who spends nothing, Weapon Lucky Spins are the best shot at a high-rarity weapon. That is exactly why the community advice around them is so consistent: bank them for promotional events instead of spending them on sight. Event windows change what the same spin can return, and a player with a stockpile gets to use that window while a player who spent early does not.
The practical habit is simple. Treat every spin as a saved resource, not a toy. The Lucky Spins guide covers how weapon and gear spins differ and why holding them is the community-advised default. Banking costs you nothing in the short term, because the weapon pool you would pull from today is the same pool you will pull from next week.
Gear Lucky Spins deserve the same treatment, and they matter more than they look. Gear is passive equipment that fills slots no weapon can cover, so a free account that banks gear spins also stays competitive on the defensive side of its build.
Upgrade Discipline When You Spend Nothing
Nothing on the acquisition side is guaranteed, so the guaranteed value sits in upgrades. The order the community most commonly recommends does not change because you spend nothing: awaken your main weapon, complete a gear set you will keep, attach Runes, then reroll traits on spare duplicates.
Awakening is the step free players should think about hardest, because it consumes materials gathered from dungeons, raids and codes, and those materials arrive slowly. Awakening a weapon you plan to replace is the most expensive mistake available to a free account, so let the awakening guide set the order of operations before you commit anything.
Gold is the other half of discipline, since gold funds enhancements and upgrades. Steady income beats a single lucky payout, so build a routine and let it pay for the decisions you have already planned. Free players who plan upgrades and then wait for luck are the ones who end up with strong builds.
Community-Reported Targets Worth Waiting For
The names below are the community-reported rankings that free players should learn to recognize on sight. They come from the same randomized sources as everything else, so the only control you have is knowing what you are looking at when it appears.
| Tier | Weapons | Free player read |
|---|---|---|
| S | King of Curses, One-Eyed Reaper, Restless Gambler | Long-term goals; if one ever arrives, redirect every material into it |
| A | Umbrella, Lightning Emperor, Hawk Eye | Realistic jackpot picks that carry real content on their own |
| B | King Ripper | Works well enough while you chase an upgrade, but not the final answer |
None of these are purchasable with cash in a way that changes the free plan, and none are guaranteed. That is the honest framing. The free strategy is patience plus codes: redeem everything available, bank the spins, clear the dungeons you can clear, and upgrade the best piece you actually own while you wait. The weapons tier list tracks the full ranking, and the early game weapons progression list explains what to use before any of these names show up.
The dungeon guide covers the difficulty ladder that drops gear and weapon materials, including the fallback of replaying an easier map when the next tier keeps failing. That fallback matters more for free accounts than for anyone else, because a fast clear you can repeat beats a slow wipe you cannot. If you want to see the game itself in the meantime, the official game page is the place to start.
FAQ
Are there guaranteed F2P weapons in Anime Final Quest?
No. Codes provide resources, materials and Raid Tickets, spins provide randomized pulls, and dungeons provide drops, but no route guarantees a specific weapon. The community-reported tier names are luck-dependent targets, and the honest free plan is to keep all three routes running at once.
Should free players spend spins as soon as they earn them?
No, and this is the most common free player mistake. Community advice is to bank Weapon and Gear Lucky Spins for promotional events, because event windows change what the same spin can return. A stockpile turns a good event into a real upgrade, while an empty stockpile turns it into nothing.
How long does a free account need to reach a top weapon?
There is no honest fixed answer, because it depends entirely on drops and event timing. Patience plus codes is the free plan: redeem every live code, bank every spin, and never pause upgrades on the weapon you already own just because a better one might appear.
What should free players upgrade first?
Awaken your main weapon, then complete a gear set you will keep, then attach Runes, then reroll traits on spare duplicates. The order is the same for every player; spending nothing only changes how fast you move through it, never the sequence.
