Key points

War Wagon at a Glance

  • Reward for a quest. Finish The Journey Home from Old Man Gen, and afterwards find him at Frozen Lake Dock in Meigu Lake.
  • Destructive Phantom Edge. Equipping it never costs you a primary weapon, because it is slotted as a Phantom Edge.
  • Charging. Soul can plough through enemy groups and move over terrain fast with it.
  • Damage-leaning. Its Damage figure at level 1 far exceeds the Guard Break figure.
  • Ironclad Rampage. Ironclad Rampage reaches rank 3 through upgrades by level 30.

Overview

Old Man Gen left behind the War Wagon, an armoured wagon designed to barrel through enemy lines or cover ground quickly.

No boss drops it; instead you are given it when an errand for Old Man Gen finishes. The trail leads through Gen's house in Pangzhen and finishes at a lakeside dock, so following his path is what earns it.

Crowds are what it is meant to plough through: rather than defeating enemies individually, you drive directly into a group.
