Best Answer

Achilles' primary weapon was the spear. He carried an unusual spear which Homer describes as too big for any other warrior to wield successfully. When Patroclus wears Achilles' armour, Homer makes a point of saying that he takes a different spear. He also uses a sword, but it secondary to the spear.

He arms in a cuirass, greaves, bronze helmet and shield. His second set of armour (made by Hephaestus after Hektor has taken Achilles' first set from Patroclus' corpse) is more fantastic and beyond the technical skill of the Mycenaeans (who's age Homer describes), but is the same in terms of items.
