Ghost of Tsushima Weapons & Gear

Armour set

Ghost Armor

Awarded by the story mission From the Darkness — cuts enemy detection sharply, shortens the road to Ghost Stance, and gives every kill a chance to terrify.

Unlock

From the Darkness (Act 2)

Armour set

Sakai Clan Armor

Jin's family armour, awarded in Act 2 — melee damage, health, and the only set that improves Standoffs, the game's one purely samurai mechanic.

Unlock

Ghosts from the Past (Act 2)

Primary weapon

Sakai Katana

Jin's inherited blade and the only sword he carries — upgraded rather than replaced, and the delivery system for all four combat stances.

Unlock

Owned from the start

Ghost weapon

Black Powder Bomb

An explosive taken from the invaders and turned back on them — the Ghost weapon with the clearest thematic charge in the game.

Unlock

Ghost weapon progression

Armour set

Gosaku's Armor

The heavy melee set from The Unbreakable Gosaku — more health, more stagger damage, and health restored every time you kill a staggered enemy.

Unlock

The Unbreakable Gosaku (Mythic Tale)

Ranged weapon

Half Bow

The light, fast bow — quick to draw and quiet, the stealth player's opener before the longbow arrives.

Unlock

The Tale of Sensei Ishikawa (early)

Armour set

Kensei Armor

The Ghost Weapon set from The Six Blades of Kojiro — faster Resolve gain, harder-hitting Ghost Weapons, and a debuff that makes struck enemies both weaker and more fragile.

Unlock

The Six Blades of Kojiro (Mythic Tale)

Ghost weapon

Kunai

Thrown blades that stagger a group instantly — the Ghost weapon that most often turns a losing melee back around.

Unlock

Ghost weapon progression

Ranged weapon

Longbow

The heavy bow recovered from The Curse of Uchitsune — slow to draw, but the only bow that punches through Mongol helmets, and the platform for Explosive Arrows.

Unlock

The Curse of Uchitsune (Mythic Tale)

Ammunition

Arrows

Armour set

Mongol Commander's Armor

A disguise that works. Out of combat it massively reduces Mongol detection, because you are dressed as one of them.

Unlock

Fit for the Khan (side tale)

Armour set

Ronin Attire

The early stealth set from Blood on the Grass — lower detection, higher melee damage, and a perk built specifically around the island's pampas grass.

Unlock

Blood on the Grass (Act 1)

Armour set

Samurai Clan Armor

The defensive set from The Tale of Lady Masako — heavy damage reduction, more health, and Resolve generated by getting hit rather than by landing hits.

Unlock

The Tale of Lady Masako (Act 1)

Ghost weapon

Smoke Bomb

Breaks line of sight instantly, dropping an active fight back into stealth — the tool that lets a failed approach be retried instead of survived.

Unlock

Ghost weapon progression

Ghost weapon

Sticky Bomb

An explosive that attaches to a target before it detonates — the answer to a single heavily armoured enemy rather than to a crowd.

Armour set

Tadayori's Armor

The archery set from The Legend of Tadayori — faster nocking, longer Concentration, and headshots that refund half the Concentration meter.

Unlock

The Legend of Tadayori (Mythic Tale)

Sidearm

Tanto

Jin's short blade — the weapon the assassination animations are performed with, and the one that never appears in a duel.

Armour set

Fundoshi

A loincloth with one perk, earned by visiting every hot spring on the island. It is a joke with a real mechanical payoff.

Unlock

Find all 18 hot springs

Ghost weapon

Firecracker

A distraction rather than a weapon — thrown to pull guards toward a noise and away from where you intend to be.

Armour set

Traveler's Attire

The exploration set. It does nothing in a fight and is arguably the most useful thing you can wear on Tsushima.

Unlock

Talk to any merchant

Ghost weapon

Wind Chime

A soft lure that draws a single curious guard away from the group — the precision instrument of the distraction tools.
