My Genshin Adventure: Scoring Free Weapons in Natlan's Web Event Bonanza
Discover the exciting free four-star weapons in Natlan's web event, including the DEF-boosting Footprint of the Rainbow polearm and the Hydro-enhancing Ring of Yaxche catalyst.
I've been counting down the days until Natlan's release like a kid waiting for Christmas morning! And guess what? HoYoverse just dropped an early present for all of us Genshin grinders – three shiny new four-star weapons that we can snag without spending a single primo! Talk about being generous in 2025, am I right?

The Web Event That Has Everyone Clicking
So there I was, scrolling through Twitter when I spotted Genshin's official announcement about this new web event called "Off We Go to the Nation of Pyro!" My fingers couldn't tap fast enough! The process is stupid simple – just click the link, log in with your HoYoverse account, and smash that "Cheer up" button like there's no tomorrow.
The coolest part? We're working together as a community to fill up this progress bar. Last I checked, we've already hit around 85% completion! That means two of the weapons are already up for grabs. The final reward unlocks once we reach 30 million participants.
Here's what we're getting:
-
10 million participants: Footprint of the Rainbow (four-star polearm)
-
20 million participants: Ring of Yaxche (four-star catalyst)
-
30 million participants: Earth Shaker (four-star claymore) + Ascension Material Bundle
I mean... free weapons AND ascension materials? HoYoverse is treating us like royalty! 😍
Let's Talk About These Weapons, Shall We?
Footprint of the Rainbow
This polearm is basically a DEF lover's dream. If you're like me and have been simping for Zhongli since 2020, this might be a solid option for our favorite Geo daddy. Most Geo characters scale with DEF anyway, so this weapon fits right into that niche.
Ring of Yaxche
Now this catalyst has got me drooling! It's perfect for Hydro users since it packs a hefty HP boost as its secondary stat. But here's where it gets juicy – for every 1000 max HP, your Normal Attack damage increases! My Barbara might finally get her time to shine as a DPS queen!
Earth Shaker
Last but definitely not least, this claymore looks promising for many DPS characters. But there's a catch... its passive only triggers with Pyro-related reactions. So you'll need to plan your team comps carefully to make the most of it.
The Gacha Alternative
Let's be real for a second. While I could spend my life savings trying to pull Emilie or Yelan from the current banners, my wallet is giving me the side-eye. These free weapons are a total lifesaver!
And if you're wondering about characters, word on the street is that we'll be getting the new four-star character Kachina for free in the upcoming update. Honestly, between the free character and these weapons, I might actually survive this update without eating instant ramen for a month.
Forging Ahead
The best part? If you somehow miss this web event (though I can't imagine why you would), don't sweat it! These weapons will also be available through Forging once Natlan drops. But why wait when you can get them now for literally zero effort?
I've already claimed my Footprint of the Rainbow and Ring of Yaxche. They're sitting pretty in my inventory, just waiting for me to level them up. Now I'm just refreshing the web event page every five minutes, hoping we'll hit that 30 million mark soon.
So what are you waiting for? Go grab these freebies before... well, there's no expiration date that I know of, but still! Free stuff! In Genshin! That doesn't happen every day!
And between you and me? This is just the beginning. With Natlan finally arriving, I bet HoYoverse has tons more goodies planned for us. The Pyro nation has been teased since the game launched back in 2020, and now in 2025, we're finally getting to explore it.
brb, gotta go click that "Cheer up" button again
P.S. If anyone needs me, I'll be farming materials to level these babies up as soon as I get them. Catch you in Teyvat! ✌️
