Hello all i am having trouble with my paladin. I have read what i could find and it says i need to buy the DM handbook but i have bought it and the players hand book and i still do not have the oathbreaker option. If someone could help me that would be great thank you.

Make sure that "2014 Core Rules" is turned on in the Home tab of the character builder.
There are now two versions of both the Player's Handbook and the Dungeon Master's Guide: a 2014 version and a 2024 version of each. The Oathbreaker subclass is in the 2014 version of the DMG. If that's what you purchased, then turning on "2014 Core Rules" should get it to show up. If you purchased the 2024 DMG, then it won't, because the Oathbreaker isn't in that book. You'd need to purchase the 2014 DMG instead.
Wow why would they remove the oathbraker from 2024 that sucks.
If you want a real answer, it's probably because they wanted to keep the character options in the PHB and not in the DMG. The 2014 version is still there for anyone to use if they want, it's not like it's been taken away.
The Oathbreaker Paladin and Death Domain Cleric were both in the 2014 DMG as examples of how you could create villains using the same process you create player characters. Since I don't think they ever really got used that way and instead became standard player options it makes sense to remove them from the DMG and save any updates for a future player book
Also they probably want to retool the presentation of Oathbreaker a little since too many people look at the name and assume it’s the default result of any failure to keep an Oath, even though the Paladin sidebar on oaths and the Oathbreaker description clearly show it’s not.
They may also want to take the opportunity to retune some of its powers, since as it's written it gives boosts to creatures that are hostile to it, like a necromancer's zombie minions.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.

Honestly, I’d rather they kept some of that, because the new pattern of stat blocks are trash for NPCs who are supposed to exist for more than one scene, particularly when it comes to what are ostensibly supposed to be casters. Though the bare bones nature of the “Creating a Creature” section of the DMG has me concerned they’re not planning to seriously support homebrewing creatures anymore. Hopefully they’ll at least keep the 2014 DMG available.
I'm just saying that having an aura ability that buffs based on creature type rather than whether or not they're allies of the character seems badly written.

I'm having the same problem. All content is available and toggled on, but oathbreaker is not showing up.
