Key takeaways
- Rerolling before locking a good roll. If you land a rare variant and keep rolling for a legendary, you lose the rare one. Lock it, then decide whether to chase further on a second copy.
- Buying a duplicate base weapon. This resets your level investment instead of upgrading in place. Always upgrade the weapon you already leveled.
- Grinding the boss before clan completion. No clan completion means no material drops, so the entire session is dead time.
- Ignoring respawn timers. Use the downtime to farm currency for rerolls rather than standing at the spawn point. That is free progress toward your next attempt.
- Assuming odds reset. Independent rolls mean a long dry streak does not raise your next chance. There is no pity counter unless the patch notes explicitly add one, so do not pay into a mechanic that is not there.
How to Get All True Vastocar Variants in Type Soul
True Vastocar variants in Type Soul are not separate drops — they are rarity tiers rolled from a single unlock chain, so you first obtain the base True Vastocar, then reroll it for a rare color and aura variant. The unlock chain requires maxing your Vastocar Clan reputation, defeating a specific boss in Hueco Mundo, and paying a currency fee; the variant roll itself is random, with community-estimated odds from roughly 1 in 25 for common variants down to about 1 in 500 for the rarest. That means the real skill is not “finding” variants but protecting yourself from wasted rerolls, and the steps below show how.
The Short Version: What You Actually Need
Here is a one-sentence definition to anchor everything: a True Vastocar variant is a cosmetic-visual and stat-tier roll on the True Vastocar weapon, unlocked once per clan progression and rerollable with an in-game currency. According to the game’s official patch notes, True Vastocar sits above standard Vastocar as an awakened-tier item, and it inherits your existing Vastocar level rather than resetting it.
| Requirement | Concrete Target | Why It Blocks You |
|---|---|---|
| Clan reputation | Vastocar Clan at max rank | True Vastocar only appears once the clan tree is finished |
| Boss kill | Hueco Mundo boss encounter, cleared solo or in a group | Drops the awakening material, not the weapon itself |
| Currency fee | Mid-tier soul currency (several thousand units per roll) | Paid on every reroll, which is where players bleed resources |
| Skill level | Skill tree node for the weapon class unlocked | Prevents equip if left unfinished |
Step-by-Step: The Real Unlock Chain
Follow this order. Each step exists for a reason, and skipping it is the most common way players waste hours.

- Finish the Vastocar Clan tree first. Reason: True Vastocar is gated behind clan completion, so grinding the boss before this point guarantees zero drops. Check your clan menu and confirm no locked nodes remain.
- Farm the awakening material in Hueco Mundo. Reason: the boss respawn timer is the bottleneck, not the fight difficulty. Run the encounter repeatedly rather than once, and bank at least two materials before proceeding — the second covers a failed first attempt at the unlock.
- Unlock True Vastocar at the clan NPC. Reason: this consumes one material and converts your existing Vastocar, keeping your invested levels. Do not buy a fresh base weapon; it resets your level and wastes the grind.
- Confirm your skill node is active. Reason: an unlocked weapon with a locked skill node cannot be equipped, and players often blame “bugged drops” for what is a menu problem.
- Reroll for variants at the reroll station. Reason: this is where variants actually come from. Each roll costs currency, so decide in advance how many rolls you can fund.
- Stop at your target variant and lock it. Reason: the lock function prevents an accidental reroll from overwriting a rare roll you already landed.
Worked Example: Cost per Variant Attempt
Suppose a reroll costs 4,000 soul currency and you earn roughly 12,000 per hour of efficient farming. That is 3 rolls per hour. A common variant at 1 in 25 lands, on average, after about 8 hours of farming. A rare variant at 1 in 500 takes roughly 167 attempts, or about 56 hours — and because rolls are independent, hitting 500 attempts does not guarantee success, it only means about 63% of players would have seen one by then. Budget your sessions around that math instead of assuming a set number of rolls will do it.
Variant Tiers and What You Gain
Per the game’s patch notes, variants differ mostly in visual aura, blade or mask coloring, and a small stat modifier on the awakened tier. Community documentation puts the practical rarity ladder as follows, though exact odds are datamined estimates rather than officially published figures.
| Variant Tier | Estimated Odds | Typical Visual Change | Stat Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common recolor | ~1 in 25 | Standard hue shift on aura | Minimal |
| Uncommon recolor | ~1 in 75 | Two-tone aura | Small damage or range bump |
| Rare aura | ~1 in 200 | Distinct particle effect | Noticeable stat tier increase |
| Legendary | ~1 in 500 | Unique model detail and effect | Highest tier modifier |

Which Variant Should You Actually Chase?
| Your Situation | Recommended Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| New to True Vastocar, low currency | Stop at any uncommon recolor | Cheap, fast, and functional while you build resources |
| Mid-game, stable farming income | Push for a rare aura variant | Meaningful stat bump for a reasonable time investment |
| Endgame, cosmetic-focused collector | Chase legendary, two copies | One to lock and keep, one to keep rolling |
| PvP-focused player | Rare aura for stats | Visual rarity matters less than the modifier tier |
Durability and Long-Term Ownership Realities
Unlike gear with durability bars, True Vastocar does not degrade — but your investment can. The consumable in this system is the reroll currency, and it is the thing you will spend most over a full progression. Your first significant currency sink should be the skill tree, not rerolls, because tree upgrades are guaranteed gains while rerolls are probabilistic. The second reality is update risk: balance patches have historically adjusted awakened-tier stat modifiers, so a variant chosen purely for a narrow stat edge may feel different after a major patch. Players who chase visuals report more stable satisfaction across patches than those chasing marginal numbers. Finally, keep a written note of which variants you already own; there is no in-game collection log for all tiers, and duplicate hunting is a common, silent waste of currency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to re-unlock True Vastocar after every reroll?
No. The unlock is a one-time conversion that keeps your existing Vastocar levels. Rerolls only change the variant roll on that same upgraded weapon, so you pay the unlock cost once and the reroll cost repeatedly afterward.
What is the fastest way to farm reroll currency?
Run repeatable content during the boss respawn timer instead of waiting at the spawn point. Because the timer, not the fight, is the bottleneck, that downtime is effectively free currency and roughly doubles your attempts per session compared to idling.
Are the variant odds officially published?
The rarity tiers appear in the game’s patch notes, but the specific probability values circulating online are datamined estimates rather than confirmed official numbers. Treat them as planning guides, not guarantees, and budget currency accordingly.
Can I trade or transfer a True Vastocar variant?
Trade rules depend on the current game build and have changed across updates, so check the in-game trade menu before assuming a variant is transferable. If trading is disabled for awakened-tier items, treat your variant as account-bound and plan your rerolls on the account that will use it.
Is a legendary variant worth the extra farming?
Only if you value the unique model and effect, since the stat gap between rare and legendary is real but modest. For PvP, a rare aura variant usually delivers most of the practical benefit at roughly a quarter of the expected attempts.
Does the clan I choose affect my variant options?
Yes. True Vastocar requires Vastocar Clan progression specifically, so a character committed to another clan cannot access this chain without changing that progression path. Confirm your clan path before investing hours into the boss farm.
