Ma Chao/Weapons

Here is a collection of Ma Chao's weapons in the Warriors series.

Level 10 Weapon Acquisition

 * Stage: Battle for Cheng Du
 * Requirements: Defeat Pang De and Ma Dai when they arrive as reinforcements; however, only defeat Ma Dai when he attacks the main camp.

Level 11 Weapon Acquisition

 * Stage: Battle of Jia Meng Gate
 * Restrictions: No bodyguards, no items.
 * Requirement: Get 500 KOs and be constantly ahead of the competition.
 * Note: It's tough because you are not allowed to equip anything. If you want a horse, you'll have to steal it from the enemy officer. It doesn't seem to matter if you're in the lead throughout the competition. But you have to win it to pass the stage. It's recommended to go to Huang Zhong. There's an infinite amount of soldiers swarming you there so you won't have to spend time running around trying to find soldiers, as the key is to be constantly racking K.O.s at anytime. C6 is useful in clearing crowds, though using the basic string finisher also works. There are tons of War God's Axes that are dropped by the soldiers. According to Muni Shinobu, the requirements include 500 KOs, Ma Chao being in the lead at least 5 times, and Ma Chao must double the second place finisher in KO count. However, the testers on the Bahamut board reported negative.

Fourth Weapon Acquisition

 * Stage: Battle of Tong Gate (Ma Chao's Forces)
 * Location: Near the bridge to the north.
 * Requirements: Knock Cao Cao off his horse before he crosses the Yellow River.
