Honkai Star Rail players mock absurd weapon design for characters

Honkai Star Rail is a sci-fi game, but that did not stop players from having some fun regarding some of the ridiculous weapon designs in the game.

Every character in Honkai Star Rail uses a different kind of weapon. It is crucial to remember that this difference is being judged based on the animations and design and not gameplay.

In gameplay terms, a Light Cone is what you can call a weapon. However, strictly speaking from the animation and design perspective, every character has their own weapon and some of them look quite bizarre.

Hence, here is what the community had to say regarding the weapon designs in the game.
