Basically, it&amp;#x27;s the game&amp;#x27;s way of making sure you experiment and play around with new weapon types, give you more of an interplay during combat by picking up enemy weapons and using it against them, and giving you overpowered weapons without letting you just find &amp;quot;the best weapon&amp;quot; and keep it forever.&lt;p&gt;At this stage in my playthrough, I often have to explicitly toss out weapons because I have too many -- very rarely do I run out of weapons and have to farm.</text></comment>

Weapons and shields wear out. But I always have at least 5 on my and you can usually pick up the enemy you just killed&amp;#x27;s weapon. I&amp;#x27;ve never been short on weapons.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s a little sad to see that awesome sword you kinda got attached to break, but....there&amp;#x27;s always something new to try. Two-handed spears, giant hammers - adds nice variety.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m yet to farm anything.</text></comment>
