Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties - Weapons

The weapon families Kiryu and his enemies use in Yakuza Kiwami 3. Weapons are picked up from the street, bought from vendors or dropped by enemies, and every family has its own reach, speed and Heat Action set. Durability means a weapon is a temporary advantage rather than a permanent upgrade.
