Overview
Tired of seeing Monkey Business, Sweet Surrender, the Megabuster, or worse yet – Pasta Breaker – in the field while playing? Want to get rid of the objectively worst Devil Breakers in the game? With one simple trick you can be rid of them forever!
Intro
Nero’s Devil Breakers are the best part of DMC 5 in my opinion. Having to adapt to what you find in the field is an interesting challenge and a great way to mix things up. You round a corner, see a new Devil Breaker, and sometimes your entire strategy can change while still remaining stylish and incredibly fun.
…That is, until you round the corner and see a Sweet Surrender. Or a Pasta Breaker. Or a Mega-Buster.
I know it’ll sound hypocritical, but I’m actually glad these Devil Breakers are as bad as they are. Imagine the alternative. If they were as good, if not BETTER than the default Devil Breakers, but you could ONLY get them via preorders/special editions rather than playing the game, that’d be a pretty serious problem.
If you want a more pure experience, there’s a very easy way to disable all the DLC Breakers.
Or, if there are only one or two you don’t like, you can disable each individual DLC Breaker on a case by case basis.
Disabling DLC Breakers
- Go to your Library tab on steam.
- Use the “Detail View” layout on the top right. This is the default layout.
- Go to Devil May Cry 5. Then, go to the section marked “DLC” beneath your achievements. Scroll down to the Devil Breakers, and uncheck the box of each Devil Breaker you want disabled
- Let the game “update” and you’re done!
That’s it!
You’re done! It’s pretty simple overall.
I would highly recommend after you’ve played through the game a few times and gotten your fill, you disable all DLC Devil Breakers. The DLC Devil Breakers are disabled in Bloody Palace, which to me suggests that the intended way to play the game is without them.
It is also worth mentioning that if you ever reenable the DLC breakers, any spares you had in Nico’s shop will still be waiting for you, so you don’t lose anything by disabling them for awhile.
Enjoy DMC5 with less silly Devil Breakers, and keep it stylish!
