Weapons are extremely common in the Mazes, with the vast majority of the inhabitants being armed in some way or another. It is very common for most people to be armed with at least one weapon of some sort. Even the species that benefit from natural or magical means of personal defense may choose to carry weapons of some sort, as they are just as, if not more practical to use.

All kinds of weapons are available in the Mazes; handguns, rifles, shotguns, melee weapons of all stripes, right up to explosives and launchers.

The abundance of weapons can be explained by the relative amount of constant danger that exists in the world; all traveling between towns and intersections is not without risks, and besides the many hostile creatures inhabiting the Uncivilized Area, there is, of course, the threat of other people with hostile intentions.

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 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 and personalizing 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.
