Rusty Gear
The Rusty Gear is an archetype of Weapon in Breath of the Wild.[name references needed]
Location and Uses
Rusty gear consists of weapons once used by knights. Over time, lack of maintenance and exposure to the elements have decayed the quality of these weapons, causing them to become brittle and frail.[1][2][3][4]
As Rusty gear is made from metal, all items in this series sink on water, do not burn when exposed to fire, not attract lightning and cann be manipulated through Magnesis.
If a piece of Rusty gear is placed in front of a Rock Octorok while it is inhaling air before firing a projectile, it will swallow the item and pause to crunch it in its mouth. After this, it will shoot it back out as a cleaned counterpart. After being cleaned, there is a 50% chance that the item will be its corresponding item in the Traveler's Gear archetype, a 35% chance that it will be of the Soldier's Gear, a 10% chance that it will be of the Knight's Gear, and a 5% chance that it will be of the Royal Gear.
List of the Rusty Series
| Item | Strength | Durability | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 Rusty Broadsword |
6 | 8 | This once-fearsome sword has seen better days. It can do some damage in the right hands but also breaks quickly. |
 Rusty Claymore |
12 | 10 | A two-handed sword not properly cared for. Although it can be used as a weapon, its durability is very low. Don't expect it to last for more than a few strikes. |
 Rusty Halberd |
5 | 15 | A rusty polearm likely used by knights from an age past. The spearhead is in bad shape due to prolonged exposure to the elements, so its durability is low. |
 Rusty Shield |
3 | It's likely this rusty old shield once belonged to a knight. It still has some defensive capabilities, but its usefulness has been worn down by time. |
