Weapons are obtained in Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 by collecting Angelic Hymns Gold LPs and giving them to Rodin at The Gates of Hell. Once given to him, he will play their music to draw out Inferno's denizens, who then seek him out in an attempt to silence it. The demon that is unlucky enough to be drawn out this way will be fought and then caught by Rodin, who will then use their souls or essence to forge powerful weapons that Bayonetta can use in combat against her enemies. In Bayonetta 3, however, weapons are obtained by progressing through the story and in most cases, inheriting them from Variants. Each weapon has its own properties, combos, and types of Wicked Weave, or in the case of Bayonetta 3, a Demon Masquerade.

Tuned for usage in the Umbran combat style called "Bullet Arts," they are not only guns with incredible stopping power, but also function as devastating melee weapons.

When swung, the sharpened tip is shot out on a thick chain, enabling the wielder to crush enemies from a distance.

Rodin[]
It is said that when equipped on the hands and feet, the bracelets adapt themselves to the user's power and memories, offering supernatural powers beyond human comprehension, but the truth of this, and of their very existence, remains a mystery.

Each dart contains a glass tube full of ether, and by charging it with magic power she can change perfectly normal throwing darts into highly damaging magic missiles.
