What are Snake Weapons in Metin2?
Snake Weapons are a weapon set in Metin2 that was introduced with Version 21.2. They are designed for experienced characters: the weapons can only be equipped from level 120 onwards. Each Snake Weapon features three random standard bonuses that are determined randomly when acquired or crafted. The exact magical attack value varies depending on weapon type – one-handed, two-handed and bow differ from one another, which is why there is no uniform value for all types.
All classes that use weapons – Warrior, Sura, Ninja, Shaman and Lycan – can use the appropriate Snake Weapons for their weapon type, provided they have reached the required level.
Introduction and Version History
Snake Weapons were implemented with the Update 21.2. This makes them one of the newer weapon sets in the game and complements the existing high-level equipment options for characters in the advanced gameplay area. The level-120 requirement clearly places Snake Weapons in the endgame segment – players reaching this area are typically looking for reliable weapons with a solid upgrade ceiling.
Level Requirement and Target Audience
The hard requirement is: level 120. Below this level, Snake Weapons cannot be equipped, regardless of other character stats. This makes them a clear goal for players actively working towards level 120 or who have already reached this milestone.
If you're on your way to level 120, you should plan early which weapon type you're aiming for – as the attack value differs depending on the weapon. For all five classes, appropriate variants of the Snake Weapon exist.

The Three Random Bonuses – What's Behind It?
Each Snake Weapon comes equipped with three random standard bonuses. These bonuses are not predictable when you obtain the weapon – they follow the random item attribute system known in the game. "Standard bonuses" means these are regular bonus categories that can also appear on other weapons in the game.
For players who want to optimise for a specific bonus setup, this can mean: comparing multiple copies or actively trading to find a weapon with bonuses that suit your build. Since all three slots are randomly filled, the quality of a specific drop heavily depends on chance.
Important: Snake Weapons do not have attack speed as a base stat. If you plan this value into your build, you must cover it from other sources – such as equipment, skills or stones.
Upgrades: Village Blacksmith and Guild Blacksmith
Snake Weapons can be upgraded up to +15. This corresponds to the maximum upgrade level known in Metin2's standard upgrade system. There is one important restriction: upgrades are only possible at the village blacksmith or guild blacksmith.
The Demon Tower Blacksmith cannot upgrade Snake Weapons. So if you're active at the Demon Tower and want to upgrade on the side, you'll need to travel to the village blacksmith or guild blacksmith for Snake Weapons. This note is practically relevant since it's easy to accidentally visit the wrong blacksmith in day-to-day gameplay.
| Blacksmith | Snake Weapon upgradeable? |
|---|---|
| Village Blacksmith | ✅ Yes |
| Guild Blacksmith | ✅ Yes |
| Demon Tower Blacksmith | ❌ No |
The upgrade path from +0 to +15 is long and resource-intensive. If you plan to use the weapon long-term, you should incorporate the journey to the village blacksmith into your planning early on. Guilds with an active guild blacksmith have a logistical advantage here.
Snake Weapons by Class
In Metin2, there are five playable classes, each specialising in certain weapon types:
- Warrior – typically uses one-handed or two-handed weapons
- Sura – relies on swords and magic blades
- Ninja – falls back on daggers or bows
- Shaman – uses fans or hammers
- Lycan – fights with claws and one-handed weapons
Since the magical attack value varies depending on weapon type (one-handed, two-handed, bow, etc.), each class should directly compare the Snake Weapon type relevant to them. A direct value comparison between classes is therefore not meaningful – the weapon should be evaluated class-specifically.
Tips for Getting Started with Snake Weapons
If you're approaching level 120 or have just reached it, keep the following points in mind:
- Compare multiple copies – The three random bonuses make the difference. Look at different Snake Weapons on the market before you invest.
- No upgrade at Demon Tower Blacksmith – Remember early on that you need to visit the village blacksmith or guild blacksmith for upgrades.
- Plan attack speed separately – Since the weapon doesn't come with base attack speed, this value needs to be covered elsewhere if it's important for your build.
- Use guild blacksmith – If you're a member of an active guild with a blacksmith, you can perform upgrades more conveniently and potentially more resource-efficiently.
- Plan long-term – +15 is the goal, but the path there costs time and Yang. First check whether the weapon's bonuses match your build requirements before upgrading heavily.
