Much like its predecessors,Bayonetta 3featuresa wide array of weapons, allowing players to experiment a little and find the combination that works best for them and their playstyle. Upon completing the prologue, they’ll only have access to a single set of guns, but, as they make their way throughBayonetta 3’s 14 main chapters, they’ll begin to unlock more powerful options as well as some new Infernal Demons with which to wreak havoc.

When all’s said and done,Bayonetta 3has 18 different weapons for players to unlock, though two of these can only be used by Viola. It’s also worth noting that Scarborough Fair and Love is Blue require players to have save data from the two previousBayonettagames on their Switch, so not everybody will be able to unlock them. Even so, there should still be more than enough options for all but the very pickiest of players.
