@PriskYou can pretty much have ANYTHING you want really. It's very Final Fantasy-esque in tha regard. Idk what you want, but we have a gun, a whip, flamethrower, scythe, handblades, and a spear-type weapon. We don't have anyone with a sword, you could go another gun route, could even use a shield as a weapon.
I usually find it easy to know what my character will be doing and then form my weapon around that. Such as mine, who is a combat medic, I wanted a weapon with range and close use, so I went with a whip (that and I like whip weapons in fantasy settings).
