'''Weapons''' are items whose primary purpose is to inflict damage to creatures or objects.

There is a total of '''740694''' weapons in the Mazes, grouped into seven classes. Classes 1 through 4 are roughly referred to as '''firearms''' (even if they include weapons that are arguably not gunsfirearms, such as launchers, grenades, explosives, etc), while Classes 5 Long, 5 Short and Handgear (shortened to 5L, 5S, HG) are roughly referred to as '''melee weapons''' (even if they include weapons capable of ranged attacks, such as bows, crossbows, nailguns, etc).

Weapons are extremely common in the Mazes, with the vast majority of the inhabitants being armed in some way or another. It can be argued that the world of the Mazes revolves around weapons and their use.
As a result, owning and openly carrying one or multiple weapons is extremely common, and with the majority of these weapons being firearms, this means people who choose not to carry guns - or any weapon at all - are rare outliers. Though there are roles and occupations dedicated to security, law enforcement, and defense, the ever-present dangers of the world implies that every inhabitant of the Mazes is expected to have the means to defend themselves.
Many of these weapons can be , and are customized with accessories, and some can even be further modified by engineering workshops, allowing an even greater amount of personalization. Though most such customizations exist for practical purposes (improving the performance of a firearm, etc.), modifications which improve the visual or cosmetic appeal also exist. Customizing Therefore, the choice and personalizing the customization of one's own weapons can be seen as a means to express oneself, to show off one's social status, or simply to stand out and look cool. == Brand names == As a stylistic choice, the weapons in the Mazes are largely lifted from the real world, right down to brand names. Observant players may have noticed that the inhabitants of the Mazes are aware of these brand names and models, despite the fact that they are all manufactured at the same facilities, by the same factories and plants. This is explained by the fact that weapons with brand names in the Mazes were simply given these names by the engineers and workers responsible for manufacturing them, as a way to differentiate series and lines of weapons. The brand and model names simply happen to match exactly those found in the real world, even if there is technically no relation with any real-world person or country. (E.g. you will find [[Glock 17]] pistols, but there is no Gaston Glock in the Mazes.) Though it may seem as though this kind of coincidence is contrived, keep in mind that this was done to avoid having to [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AKA47 rename] or [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlandNameProduct give bland names] to hundreds of different weapons, largely for the convenience of the players.
