A new batch of leaks shared by prominentGenshin Impactleaker Tao via fellow leaker videre has revealed the appearance of two new Fontaine weapons. The weapons both feature a similar technological aesthetic with aClaymore boasting serrated chainsaw-like bladesand aPolearm affixed with a drillat the tip. The weapons are both said to be craftable within the game’s newest region, meaning players can acquire them without needing to utilizeGenshin Impact’s gacha system.

Leaks from the game have hinted at some of the premium weapons available with Fontaine’s launch as well, including thesignature weapon for five-star Bow character Lyney. Fontaine’s release will also likely add new four-star weapons to the game’s gacha pool, following trends set by previous regions.
With Fontaine’s release still over a month away,Genshin Impact’s newest region has already seen plenty of major details about the Hydro Archon’s domain leaked. Early reveals from Version 4.0 have shown off multiple locations throughout the region, including asmall Fontaine fishing village players will visit.
