In Diablo 4, items are divided into five rarities: Common, Magic, Rare, Legendary, and Unique, which determine the level of power and effectiveness during combat. This fifth variant contains a weapon such as Butcher's Cleaver, which considerably surpasses the Legendary rarity weapons and can easily knock down enemies.

The Butcher's Cleaver features a set of Unique effects and Affixes that set it apart from weapons of similar rarity. Hence, this article will explain how to obtain the Unique weapon and its perks.

Whether you are butchering enemies, opening chests, or completing objectives and quests, Diablo 4 provides a ton of loot for the players. Although, a weapon as powerful as Butcher's Cleaver can be exclusively acquired by progressing in World Tier III and IV.

You can get the weapon by completing side dungeons and taking down a Butcher. However, there is a slight possibility that you will receive the Unique weapon as a drop, but you can try multiple times since the monster will continue to spawn randomly in other dungeons.

Furthermore, the Butcher is a demanding boss who will despawn if you die. It will also vanish if you lose a lot of time killing him.

On the other hand, farming-side dungeons can also help you to loot powerful weapons. They can be upgraded and combined with equipment and gems to enhance your loadout.
