👉 A participant weapon, often referred to as a weaponized participant or WP, is a type of weapon used by individuals within a video game's narrative or combat system to engage in combat or defend themselves. Unlike standard weapons that are typically used for general purposes, a participant weapon is specifically designed to be wielded by a character during the game's events, often tied to their backstory or role in the storyline. These weapons can be unique to each character, reflecting their personality, skills, or the circumstances that led them to become involved in the game's conflict. Participant weapons can range from mundane items like knives or throwing sticks to more elaborate and thematic tools, such as a sword from a mythological background or a firearm in a modern setting. Their use adds depth to character development and can significantly impact the game's narrative and combat dynamics.
