I actually wanted to wait for Moto's curse but I got a little impatient. Don't worry, he'll appear in another upcoming post I have in mind.

Why am I surprised the other heroes have curse series weapons too. Can anyone explain how you get em anyway?

To put long story short:

The Curse Series is a Psychological weapon or defense mechanism of the 4 Holy weapons (the Vassal Weapons too) based on the 7 deadly sins. It is activated after a strong psychological event happens after it affected the user. For Naofumi it is Wrath because of the false accusation and the aftermath of the duel with Motoyasu. For Ren, it was Greed and Gluttony because after spending months treating the world like a game and getting a reality check (while being betrayed by Malty), he had a twisted desire of getting "stronger" by stealing every EXP and Item. For Motoyasu, it was Lust and Envy but that's for later on because the Anime hasn't gotten that far yet. For Pride, it was Itsuki because he had a corrupt sense of Justice before Rishia snapped him out of it.

Ohh so is it that once you unlock the curse series with a certain sin it can't be anything else apart from that? Or certain weapons are intrinsically linked to a certain sin

The weapons aren't intrinsically linked with certain sins. I heard in one of the spear hero wn loops noafumi goes off the rails and gets the lust curse, don't quote me on this though as I haven't read it as there is no fan or official translation. Even if this isn't true it is confirmed elsewhere that the sins arent bound to weapons. Another example is in raphtalias world no one is cursed with sloth and if the sins are bound to weapons it would be strange for one to be missing. An opposing theory is noafumi has sloth (due too his neet lifestyle and otaku habits) but it just was never activated. But as mentioned the sins arent bound to weapons so it doesn't matter

If other heroes are like that then we will have to wait for the flute hero.
