You can make your own weapons

Way of the Samurai 3 is littered with swords and spears to find, whether you take them from the corpse-strewn battlefield of Kuchigahara or from the bodies of slain enemies. (And if you’re feeling really adventurous, you can try wielding a twig, a hoe, a green onion or your bare hands, although these won’t be as effective as a sword.)

Above: Careful, though – they can still kill

But you’ll also be able to find and buy weapon parts, which you can combine (with the help of a blacksmith) to create weapons that are uniquely “you” – or, at least, as close as the 200 or so pre-made parts will let you get.
