Runes are an important upgrade system in The Forge on Roblox, but many players don’t realize that runes can be added and removed freely if you know where to look. If you are enhancing weapons and want more control over your build, understanding how rune slots work will save you a lot of time and resources.
In this guide, we will walk through how to unlock rune slots, how to attach runes to your weapon, and how to remove them whenever you want. Also check out our Roblox The Forge Beginner Guide for those interested and the Race Tier List.
What Are Runes in The Forge?
Runes are special upgrades that can be attached to weapons to improve their performance. Each rune provides specific bonuses depending on the type of rune you equip. However, before you can use any rune, your weapon must first have an available rune slot. Rune slots are not unlocked automatically. You need to upgrade your weapon through enhancement to gain access to them.
How to Unlock Rune Slots
To add a rune, you must first create a rune slot on your weapon. Here is how to do it:
- Open The Forge and go to your weapon inventory.
- Select the weapon you want to upgrade.
- Enhance the weapon using the enhancement system.
- As the weapon level increases, a rune slot will eventually unlock.
Once the rune slot appears, your weapon is now ready to use runes.
How to Add Runes to a Weapon
After unlocking a rune slot, attaching a rune is very simple:
- Select the weapon with an open rune slot.
- Click on the rune slot.
- Choose the rune you want to use.
- Attach the rune to the weapon.
The rune effect will activate immediately once it is attached.
How to Remove Runes (Detach Runes)
If you want to change your build or reuse a rune on another weapon, you can remove it at any time:
- Open your weapon details in The Forge.
- Click on the rune slot that already has a rune attached.
- Select the Detach option.
- The rune will be removed and returned to your inventory.
This system lets you experiment with different rune setups without permanently losing your upgrades.
Adding and removing runes in The Forge is much easier than most players expect. As long as your weapon has a rune slot, you can freely attach or detach runes to fit your playstyle. Focus on enhancing weapons early to unlock rune slots faster, and don’t be afraid to swap runes as you test different builds. Mastering this system will give you a big advantage as you progress through the game.
