*''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
** Elves, Dwarves and Orcs have entire tiers of weapons and armor associated with their races. Orcish weapons are made of {{orichalcum}}, elven weapons are made of moonstone, while dwarvish weapons are made from so-called 'dwarven alloy'.
** Dwarves are also famed for being the most technologically advanced race on Tamriel, and perfected the use of [[SteamPunk steam-powered]] {{Golem}}s as weapons, something no other race has been able to do.
** Races from the continent of  Akavir are associated with katanas, as a result of their homeland being {{Wutai}}.
** Khajiit, a race of CatPeople, will fight with weapons, but also produce some of the finest {{Bare Fisted Monk}}s in Tamriel, as their claws give them an edge over the over races when fighting bare-handed.
** [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Redguards]], a FantasyCounterpartCulture to Arabs and North African Moors, are noted for their use of [[SinisterScimitar scimitars]].
** [[HornyVikings Nords]] have axes as a major element of their culture. If a Nord sends you an axe, it means they have business to discuss with you.
** Wood Elves favor the bow, and are said to be the finest archers in all of Tamriel

* Dark Elves in ''[[Videogame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic Might and Magic: Heroes VI]]'' favor the [[WheelOfDeath Chakram]] as their ranged weapon of choice, as the bows used by their surface-dwelling cousins are impractical in the caverns where they dwell.

* The Drushocka in the ''Videogame/SpaceEmpires'' series have a particular fondness for energy-depleting weapons. Apparently their homeworld is prone to intense lightning and plasma-storms, which inspires their scientists with the desire to create weapons that manipulate energy in its purest forms.

* The White Legs tribe in ''Videogame/FalloutNewVegas'' DLC ''Honest Hearts'' adopted the .45 Auto submachine gun as their signature weapon, after a courier named Ulysses helped them uncover a stockpile of the weapons from an abandoned armory at Spanish Fork. They refer to them as "storm-drums" due to they noise they make when fired.
