When can you get another weapon in God of War?
At the beginning of the game you only have a Leviathan Axe and during the first half of the game you will be fighting your enemies with it. During certain events, Kratos must reach for other weapons, which are the well-known Blades of Chaos from the past. The weapon will be unlocked for the first time during "The Sickness" mission.
Upgrading a new weapon
The Blades of Chaos have their own development tree and you can learn new skills in it. The weapon is different from Leviathan - it is fast, has a much wider range, and is ideal for fighting a larger group of enemies. You can smoothly switch between the Blades of Chaos and the Leviathan during the battle. This is necessary because, for example, ice opponents are resistant to Leviathan blows and it is much better to burn them with a second firearm. You can further improve the blades during the game by fighting trolls and bringing their material to blacksmiths.
