Ahead of the release of Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, one of the more prominent hopes from fans was that the expansion would deliver meaningful updates to the already impressive and varied arsenal of the base game. Not only does Shadow of the Erdtree deliver plenty of new weapons that quickly have become favorites in their respective weapon types, but it also introduces several new weapon categories not previously seen in either the base game of Elden Ring or in any other FromSoftware title, for that matter. So impressive and massive is Elden Ring's post-DLC arsenal that it begs the question of where the developer could go next.
