👉 A reference weapon, often used in video games and other media, is a specific, historically accurate or fictionalized weapon that serves as a model for the primary weapon wielded by a character. These weapons are typically chosen based on their historical significance, cultural relevance, or aesthetic appeal, and they often embody the character's personality, background, or role within the story. For example, in "Assassin's Creed," the reference weapon is the katana, a traditional Japanese sword that reflects the game's setting and historical context. Reference weapons provide players with a tangible connection to the game's world, enhancing immersion and authenticity.
