Code Vein delights in an over-the-top aesthetic, and its weapons are no exception. In the video above, Bandai Namco talks us through the five weapon types in Code Vein - the one handed sword,  the giant two handed sword, halberd, two handed hammer and rifle with a bayonet - elaborating on how they're used, how they're found, and how they can be upgraded. The Code Vein team also talk about how weapons and general melee combat can be mixed and matched with Gifts, Code Vein's unique abilities that keeps minute-to-minute gameplay interesting.
