* ''VideoGame/ForTheKing'': {{Justified|Trope}} because the player characters are all nobodies who got dumped into the adventure with their StarterEquipment after all the real heroes were killed. TheBlacksmith's hammer and the Woodcutter's axe are clearly improvised weapons, and even gear like the Hunter's bow and the Trapper's spear weren't intended for outright combat.

* ''{{VideoGame/Valheim}}'': Zigzagged. On the one hand, the axes you can craft are just as useful against trees as they are against enemies be they made of stone or {{Unobtainium}} and the Pickaxe can do some surprisingly high damage to certain enemies, but Woodcutting and Axes are considered entirely different skills (so killing lots of trees won't help with enemies and vice-versa), and said weak-to-pickaxe enemies are quite deadly, so killing one with a pickaxe is more of a BraggingRightsAchievement than a valid tactic.

* In ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'' and its sequel ''VideoGame/LikeADragonInfiniteWealth'', all the protagonists use improvised weapons based on their Job (character class). Eri, an office worker, uses a box cutter like a dagger and various office supplies (such as hurling ink wells to blind enemies or throwing a handful of tacks at range) while Tomizawa, who's a cab driver, uses tire irons, jumper cables, and car washing equipment. Other jobs use different equipment: the construction Foreman job packs a sledgehammer, the Tennis Ace from ''Infinite Wealth'' wields a tennis racket.

* ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'': TheBlacksmith-turned-Lord Perrin Aybara fights with both a [[DropTheHammer forging hammer]] and an axe. His conflict over the choice of weapon is an ongoing theme; he throws the axe away when he realizes he's become too comfortable with killing, has a minor crisis when reminded that he's killed a lot of people with the hammer as well, but settles on the hammer as a weapon because it has the ability to create as well as destroy.
