👉 In most video games, the default weapon is typically a standard firearm or a close-range melee weapon, such as a sword or pistol, which players are expected to use unless they have opted for a different setup. This default weapon is usually chosen for its balance of power and accessibility, allowing players to quickly engage enemies with a familiar tool. However, many games offer customization options where players can switch to different weapons, including ranged options like bows or crossbows, or melee variants like knives or fists, depending on their playstyle and the game's mechanics.
