In Anything But A Gun the weapons go beyond their realistic day to day uses, your creative interpretation of mundane objects is what makes them lethal. It could be a hobby horse or it could be divorce papers. There are a ton of weapons to discover just like those.
Every weapon has promotions that the weapon can receive allowing you to change the playstyle of those weapons. Turn a simple duck duck goose into an explosive bird dealing massive AOE damage by giving it the Explosive promotion.
