In the long history of Devil May Cry, Dante has wielded many a tool to take on some of the darkest nightmares from hell. Here is every Dante weapon in Devil May Cry 5, ranked.
11 Double Kalina Ann
The Iconic Rocket Launcher Of Lady
The Kalina Ann is the primary weapon of Lady, a deuteragonist who first appears in Devil May Cry 3 and appears in the Devil May Cry anime.

In Devil May Cry 5, the Kalina An is modified and given a twin by combining Kalina Ann and Kalina Ann II. Dante unlocks the ability to equip both at once and use them simultaneously in combat. The dual launchers fire a stream of rockets at targets, significantly upgrading the use of both weapons.
10 Cavaliere
An Abundance Of Mobility And Damage
Cavaliere is a new devil arm that appears for the first time in Devil May Cry 5 that Dante obtains after defeating Angelo Cavaliere during his playthrough in mission eleven. Cavaliere serves as a two-pronged weapon that transforms between a weaponized motorcycle and two massive axes, which Dante can wield with rotating blades.
The Cavaliere is a slow but staggering weapon that is a great tool for combo extensions against small clumps of enemies. Cavaliere succeeds in being a versatile weapon while also being fun to use.
9 Shotgun And Cyote A
A Classic Compliment To Any Combo
The Shotgun is a must-have that has featured in every Devil May Cry game since the original. While it has been upgraded and remodeled from time to time, each weapon serves the same purpose. The Shotgun is a hard-hitting modified rifle that has had the barrel cut off to increase impact.
After being remodeled the first time, the Shotgun was dubbed the Cyote A and is a perfect weapon to fit in between long combo strings. The Shotgun fires a powerful burst of buckshot that can extend combos with its stagger and be used in a number of creative ways by Dante's carrying styles.
8 Balrog
A Boxers Tempo With Devastating Fire Power
Balrog is the most recent addition to the Bracers and Greives family, debuting in Devil May Cry 5. Players can obtain this weapon during Dante's playthrough by defeating Balrog early on in the story. Balrog seems to be a callback to one of Capcom's famous characters from the Street Fighter franchise and features movements similar to the character, in a boxing style.

Balrog provides several options not present in past iterations, such as doges, counters, and flicker jabs. Similar to past weapons, however, the Balrog features a heat-up ability that is powered by landing blows on enemies. Balrog is considered the most complete package in the line of gauntlets in the Devil May Cry franchise.
7 Dr. Faust
The Most Unique Weapon In Devil May Cry
Dr. Faust is one of the most recent additions to Dante's arsenal and debuted in Devil May Cry 5. Also made by the newest addition to the Devil May Cry cast, Nicolleta Goldstein, Nero's chief weapon designer and granddaughter of the smith behind Ebony and Ivory. Dr. Faust is an enigmatic weapon in the form of a cowboy hat.
The weapon is the materialized version of a Faust, granting Dante a number of bizarre offensive capabilities utilizing red orbs as a resource. Dr. Faust is arguably one of the most underrated yet overpowered weapons in Devil May Cry 5, with a hidden potential of game-breaking proportions.
6 Devil Sword Sparda
A Legendary Weapon Belonging To The Deon Knight Sparda
Sparda is a name that echoes through the entire Devil May Cry community for his ominous legend, spoken among countless demons who come face-to-face with his sons. As the demon that rallied against his own, the only thing more famous is his weapon. Initially sealed away in the form of Force Edge, it becomes the Demon Sword Sparda once awakened.
Demon Sword Sparda's moveset is unique as it's a transforming weapon that can shift between a sword and a scythe. Possessing the god-like power of the Demon Knight makes it an incredibly powerful weapon that has spilled gallons of demon blood over time, making it a pivotal piece of Devil May Cry culture.
5 King Cerberus
Perfect Weapon For Combo Linking
The King Cerberus is a fan-favorite weapon that is a staple in many combo masters' arsenals inside the Devil May Cry 5. Debuting in Devil May Cry 5, King Cerberus is an upgrade of th original weapon from Devil May Cry 3. Obtained by defeating the demon of the same name, the upgraded version serves as a weapon with three forms, the Cerberus weapon offers fast-paced attacks that can strike from a number of positions and inflict elemental damage on enemies.
In Devil May Cry 5, the King Cerberus weapon features three different forms, each with varying elements: a staff, a three-sectioned staff, and nunchaku with Fire, Lightning, and Ice elements.
4 Ebony & Ivory
Staple Pistols Throughout Every Devil May Cry Game
Ebony and Ivory are the trustworthy and iconic custom hand-cannons that Dante takes with him wherever he goes. These high-powered nail drivers fire blinding amounts of rounds at targets with limitless ammo and serve as the best friends to Dante's left and right hands.
The Best Bosses In Devil May Cry Games, Ranked
The Devil May Cry video games have featured a number of thrilling boss fights, and these are the ones that stand out most in players' minds.
Ebony and Ivory are two forty-five caliber handguns built from scratch by the famous weaponsmith Nell Golstein. Being the only firearms that could withstand Dante's physical abilities, they serve as lethal executioners for any demon on the wrong side of the weapon.
3 Rebellion
The Most Iconic Sword In Video Games
Rebellion is the most iconic and beloved weapon in the Devil May Cry series. Among the endless list of weapons, nothing feels better in the hand than the cold silver image of Rebellion slicing through foes. Rebellion was passed down to Dante directly from his father and has served as his perfect partner ever since.
The sword embodies Date's style and personality, being the perfect blade to complement his moveset. It appears to be a solid piece of demonic steel that is the core base for many combos in every Devil May Cry game. Unfortunately, the Rebellion's time has come to an end as it was destroyed in Devil May Cry 5 and reforged into Devil Sword Dante, leaving a lengthy legacy behind.
2 Devil Sword Donte
A Perfect Upgrade For The Next Generation
Devil Sword Donte is the newest addition to the long line of swords in Dante's arsenal. Upon learning more about the history of the weapons handed to him and his brother, Dante looked inward to find strength and in doing so, birthed the demonic blade into existence.
The Devil Sword Donte is a drastic change from the Rebellion's cold and unrelenting appearance, embracing Dante's demonic heritage with a jagged and ominous design. The weapon features an expanded moveset from Dante's base Swordstyle that includes spectral blades, increased range and damage, and Dante's Sin Devil Trigger mode.
