* ''VideoGame/MountAndBlade'' features a variety of more or less true-to-life weapons, including low tier improvised equipment often used by peasant units. Common peasant weapons include carpenter's hatchets, sickles, pitchforks, and farming scythes. Most of these weapons are generally useless to the player as you pretty much always start with something better, such as a basic sword or a crossbow.

* In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', the farm Ganados are armed with various gardening tools, including [[AnAxeToGrind hatchets]], [[TorchesAndPitchforks pitchforks]], and [[SinisterScythe scythes]].
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', Link can use items such as the Farmer's Pitchfork, the Woodcutter's Axe, and the Farming Hoe as weapons.
* Tools such as hoes, [[PowerfulPick pickaxes]], and [[ShovelStrike shovels]] can be used as weapons in ''VideoGame/{{Wayward}}'' if you have nothing else available. They'll do against most surface monsters, but aren't strong enough for stronger cave-dwelling monsters.
