MilMo Weapon Guide, part 1



Hello MilMonauts,

Today we are starting a new blog post series about the weapons found in MilMo. We are going to cover all the weapons found in-game and in the Cash Shop. Items that can be used as a weapon, but are not intended to be used as weapons, such as the uncharged Lumirod will not be featured. First out we are going to take a look at the special weapons found in the Mystery Boxes and Lock Boxes. This includes the glowing Legendary Weapons! All boxes found in MilMo will end up in your bag under the tab "Boxes" until they are opened.


Lock Box Weapons
What's a Lock Box? A Lock Box is a mysterious box enemies and containers may drop when defeated. They come in five different colors.

Lock Boxes found in MilMo


The most common one is the the green box, followed by the blue one and then the red box. Silver boxes are rare, and the rarest of them all's the golden box. In order to open a lock box you need a lock box key. The keys can be found by collecting Exploration Tokens, doing quests or bought in the Cash Shop using Coins or June Cash.

All creatures and containers in MilMo have the ability to drop Lock Boxes


When opening a Lock Box there's a small chance of getting one of the Legendary Weapons. Legendary weapons are very powerful, beautiful and has a magic glow to them. They deal magic damage and can be used to defeat Imagination Devourers and bosses. All Lock Boxes contain loot like gems, special berries, ammunition, hats and some weapons usually only found in the Cash shop. A Lock Box features one or two randomized items. Let's take a look at the special loot found in Lock Boxes.

Like all Lock Boxes the green box might give you a mix of more common loot or furniture, hats and Cash Shop weapons. The lucky ones will find the Legendary Hammer!

The Legendary Hammer

The Legendary Hammer might have less range than the Legendary Bow, but deals more magic damage. It's perfect for close range fights and comes in handy when fighting the Nikonos Boss or the Mad Weed.

The Legendary Sword is hidden in the blue Lock Box. This sword is perfect for close fights with magical or non magical creatures. It's fast, effective and has a powerful attack.

The Legendary Sword


When opening a red Lock Box there's a chance you will get the Ornate Cleaver, the Fencing Sword, the Viking Hammer or the Sharp Axe. If you are really lucky you might get the powerful Legendary Bow.

The mighty Legendary Bow
The Legendary Bow is one of the most powerful ranged weapons ever created in MilMo, only to be matched by the Dragon Bow, the Legendary Gun and the Epic Bow. It's an excellent tool for hunting and defeating even the scariest bosses and creatures in MilMo. It's perfect if you prefer to keep your enemies at a distance rather than engaging in close combat.

Silver boxes have a small chance of spawning the Legendary Axe. The axe deals maximum magic damage but is quite heavy to wield. It's speed is also less than that off the Legendary Bow. This is a perfect weapon for defeating the knights at Hidden Tor.

The Legendary Axe
Golden Lock Boxes might contain the Legendary Gun. Its speed and range is supreme, but the magic effect and the attack is matched by that of the Legendary Bow. Aslo, in order to fire a ranged weapon like a bow or a gun you need a steady supply of arrows or cells. All bows use arrows and all guns run on cells. Cells and arrows can be found in-game or in the Cash Shop if you are tired of grinding.

The Legendary Gun
All in all there are five Legendary Weapons at the moment. The loot found in the Lock Boxes are balanced and improved with each update. They also contain a exclusive set of Legendary clothing like the crown, the glasses and the wings.


Mystery Box Weapons
Mystery Boxes are found in the Cash Shop. They contain a big mix of weapons and special furniture. Almost all items found in the Mystery Box are sold for more than 10,000 June Cash each if bought separately in the Cash Shop.

The Mystery Box

The exact content of the Mystery Box is a secret, but it features all the Legendary items and weapons, the Phoenix Wings, the Ethereal Aegis shield and even the new Dragon Bow!

The new Dragon Bow can be found inside the Mystery Box

The same goes for the exclusive Ethereal Aegis shield 

All elemental weapons are featured in the Mystery Box


We know there's a lot of different people playing MilMo. To match this we decided to implement different ways to get hold of powerful weapons. There are three strategies to get  a cool weapon;

1. Hard work
You can use the free weapons found inside the game and earn Epic weapons. This takes quite some time and requires a lot of dedication and hard work, but it's free and everyone can do it. It's possible to level up the basic sword, axe, bow and club into something extremely powerful. It takes a lot of effort, but in the end you will have a weapon strong enough to deal magic damage!

2. Lock Boxes or Mystery Boxes
Some players like to take chances and try their luck. When opening a Lock Box or a Mystery Box there's a chance you will get the Dragon Bow, the Flying V-Axe or a Legendary weapon. You need a key to open a Lock Box, but the key can be bought using free Coins. If you are really lucky the Mystery Box, worth about 8, 000 June Cash, will give you a weapon worth 100,000 June Cash!

3. The Cash Shop
Some players have been requesting the possibility to buy a powerful weapon. We decided to implement the new Dragon Bow with the ability to deal magic damage. This weapon is super exclusive and has the same stats as the Legendary Bow. Right now we don't want to make the game unbalanced by introducing weapons in the Cash Shop that's more powerful than the Legendary or Epic weapons. Since MilMo is a free to play it should be possible to obtain a powerful weapon not only by spending money, but by hard work and dedication.

Next time I will cover the weapons found in the Cash Shop!
