For an extra kicker, his best friend was the one who blew up that gunship in a HeroicSacrifice, as his arm got stuck inside the gunship while he was planting explosives on it and Mitchell was unable to get him loose, even with his exosuit's SuperStrength.

Nugget gets trapped behind a sewer grate, and if the player doesn't help get him out, he chews his own arm off, leaving behind only a heavily bleeding stump. Not because the arm was stuck or anything, mind you. [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} He just figured that was necessary in that kind of situation.]] Despite trailing blood everywhere he goes, he still survives the day with little ill effect.

* ''VideoGame/MegamiTenseiII'': At one point, you are required to put your right arm into a demon statue's mouth to retrieve an item.

You must get a new arm from Cyber Labs that is hard enough to grab the item without getting bitten off.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':

*** Revolver Ocelot loses an arm thanks to Gray Fox, [[spoiler:and then proceeds to replace it with the deceased Liquid Snake's arm before the events of ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty Metal Gear Solid 2]]'' as part of a convoluted plot to fool the Patriots]].

Perhaps he had an "interface port" installed for [[RoboShip Helga]]...
* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankRiftApart'': During Rivet's backstory, she was [[StealthyColossus ambushed by a warbot]], which severely burned her arm to the point of uselessness with its EyeBeams, but didn't completely blast it off, requiring manual amputation. This would imply an attempted Type 3, though when that very same warbot mentions their side of the story to Ratchet, it's revealed that they never intended to cause damage at all, but their [[KillerRobot programming]] accidentally turned a warning shot into an attack, which makes the event a Type 2.

*** It's possible, but rare, for a non-lethal shot to a zombie from the side -- or even successfully pushing one back after it grabs you -- to cause one of the zombie's arms to fall off. With the Custom Shotgun, an upwards-aimed shot tends to blow off off one arm by vaporizing the shoulder along with the head.
*** This is the best way to deal with zombies in [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake the remake]]. Headshots no longer do any more damage than a body shot, barring a lucky [[YourHeadAsplode critical hit]]. However, it only takes a couple of bullets to blow a leg off, rendering them unable to walk. At that point, they can only crawl slowly on the ground, and due to the way the AI works, they are completely unable to attack you if you are behind them. This makes them very easy to finish off with a knife.
** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard'''s Ethan Winters has his left arm chopped off in the game's prologue, and the same can happen to one of his legs if Jack catches up to him. They both get reattached almost immediately [[spoiler:thanks to Ethan's infection]].
* ''VideoGame/ReturnOfTheObraDinn'': [[spoiler:Happens to both Seaman John Naples (who got his leg cut off by the Captain's Steward Fillip Dahl, possibly in an effort to free the mermaids from the lazarette) and Bosun Alfred Klestil (who got his arm ripped off by a kraken at the end of Chapter VII, though he only makes it through to the beginning of Chapter IX).]]
* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'': A recurring antagonist in the cave goblin quests has a Ring Of Life, ensuring that whenever you have him on the ropes he can teleport to safety. In the quest "The Chosen Commander", to show how much more dangerous the warrior god possessing your friend is, s/he cuts Sigmund's hand off before the Ring Of Life can activate, and ''then'' kills him. If you return to Lumbridge Castle after this quest and talk to Duke Horacio, he says with appropriate horror that ''Sigmund's severed hand'' teleported into the castle courtyard at some point.
* The prologue of ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice'' ends with the protagonist getting his left arm chopped off by a high-ranking samurai who proceeds to abduct his lord. Our hero promptly receives a fancy prosthetic limb and sets out on a RoaringRampageOfRescue.
* ''VideoGame/SeveredSteel'' is a FirstPersonShooter starring the titular agent who begins the game waking up with her lower left arm missing. Early in the game she promptly gets ahold a prototype ArmCannon, cappable of [[EverythingBreaks vaporizing walls]].
* ''VideoGame/StarWarsChess'': Many animations involving C-3PO have him losing limbs. This can happen regardless of whether or not he's on the winning side.
** When he captures a Stormtrooper, his hand gets shot off before he wins.
** When he captures Darth Vader, His whole arm gets cut off by Vader's lightsaber. He then proceeds to pick up his arm, clash it with the lightsaber, and somehow deactivates it, allowing him to club Vader with his arm.
* In the second chapter of ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland'', [[spoiler:Guybrush]] loses his left hand in a swordfight.
* ''VideoGame/TamingDreams'' has Berdanre, who lost his arm, leg, and spouse in a tragic accident.
* Axel of ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal2'' was stuck inside a vehicle created by [[AbusiveParents his father]] for 20 years; his arms and legs held captive by the two-wheeled monstrosity. In his ending, he wishes for the courage to stand up to his father, which [[JackassGenie Calypso]] surprisingly grants. Finally standing up to his father, Axel frees himself from the machine by ripping his limbs off, much to his father's horror. Quite rare for this trope, this is actually seen as a moment of triumph here.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', during the final fight with [[spoiler:Mettaton EX, you can blow his arms and legs off if you shoot his heart enough. This lowers the required Ratings level needed to Spare him.]]
* ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadSeasonOne'':
** The player can choose to initiate a Type 3 when a man's leg gets trapped. Especially notable because not only are you the one to do it, it's rather realistic, being incredibly gory, and even with you brandishing a fire ax, it takes four swings to make it all the way through, the receiver passing out from shock [[spoiler:and soon after dying due to blood loss]].
** In Episode 5, [[spoiler:after he's bitten, Lee can cut his arm off (or have someone else do it) in an attempt to save himself from the zombie infection. It doesn't work; he'll die at the end of the episode no matter what.]]
* ''[[VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadSeasonFour The Walking Dead: The Final Season]]'': In episode 4, Clem's leg is lacerated to the bone by Minerva and then chomped on by a walker. As she succumbs to the infection, she tries to force AJ to make the same choice she had to with Lee — let her turn, or put her out of her misery. AJ instead lops off the infected limb, which proves enough to save her.
* ''VideoGame/Wasteland2'':
** [[spoiler:Casey James]] performs a Type 1 in order to ensure peace between two feuding tribes.
** The [[spoiler:Choppers]] are elite guards who [[SymbolicMutilation chop off one of their arms]] to prove their loyalty.
* ''VideoGame/WildArms1'': [[spoiler:Rudy cuts/shoots his arm off to escape from Zeikfried in the Gate Generator.]]
* In ''VideoGame/TheWitchsHouse'', the invisible chef asks you for a hand. If you agree, [[ExactWords he cuts your hands off]]. [[spoiler:Any "hand" will do, so you can just give him the severed arm of a teddy bear.]]
* In ''VideoGame/{{Wildermyth}}'', a hero who is defeated in battle but not killed will be left short a limb. Maimed heroes rejoin the adventure after a period of recuperation, replacing the lost limb with a makeshift prosthesis such as a peg leg. At least one story event can also result in a hero sacrificing a limb to escape a grim situation.
* This trope is used in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'' [[spoiler:as the cornerstone of its RoboticReveal]].

Unfortunately, [[spoiler:Desoloth bites off Galanoth's arm, and he's only saved from death by his friend Warlic summoning up all his magical power to restore him. Unfortunately, he cannot bring back Galanoth's arm, so he has to get a new one. He obtains it from X'Dir, who had sought to use it as a bargaining chip to try to get Galanoth to join Desoloth during the Etherstorm War, only to meet with the Dragonslayer's full-on wrath.]]
* The second boss of ''VideoGame/ArabianMagic'', Asura, is a [[MultiArmedAndDangerous six-armed giant wielding six scimitars]].

* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'':
** Hope that Ragna doesn't lose a limb in every installment of the main series; he's currently lost one arm to Type 3 and [[spoiler:his other to Type 2 to save Noel]].
** One of the gag reels in ''[[VideoGame/BlazBlueChronoPhantasma Chronophantasma]]'' subjects Makoto to Type 2 for BlackComedy. The limb in question is her tail. [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Which somehow comes to life on its own.]]
* ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm''': In one of the bad endings, Catie wakes up after a battle to find that her left arm is gone, among other body parts.
* ''VideoGame/BrainDead13'': Lance can end up dead like this in a "manicure" if you don't help him escape Vivi's attempts to cut off his hand.
* ''VideoGame/BuriedAnInteractiveStory'' uses the Deliberate version. Roger has the chance to use his gun and [[spoiler:save Dennis from the entities]], but knows that shooting would blast off [[spoiler:Dennis]]'s hand. It's [[DialogueTree up to the player]] whether he goes through with it.
* ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'':
** ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty4ModernWarfare'': Then-Lieutenant Price and Captain [=MacMillan=] attempt to assassinate RenegadeRussian Imran Zakhaev, whose arm gets blown off in the process. [=MacMillan=] assumes that shock and blood loss will finish him off. [[spoiler:They don't.]]
** ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyAdvancedWarfare'': In the first gameplay segment, Mitchell gets his left arm sliced off by a stray piece of shrapnel after blowing up an enemy gunship. For an extra kicker, his best friend was the one who blew up that gunship in a HeroicSacrifice, as his arm got stuck inside the gunship while he was planting explosives on it and Mitchell was unable to get him loose, even with his exosuit's SuperStrength. He gets a perfectly functional cybernetic replacement later on, from said best friend's father... [[spoiler:who becomes the BigBad and [[KickTheDog wrecks the prosthetic with a socket wrench]] when Mitchell turns on him. In the finale, the BigBad ends up dangling from Mitchell's prosthetic and Mitchell, unable to let go of him due to the arm's servos not functioning anymore, pulls out his knife with his other arm and cuts the prosthetic off to send the one who gave it to him in the first place plummeting to his death -- "[[HoistByHisOwnPetard giving back the second chance]]", as Mitchell puts it in the game's closing monologue.]]
** ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsIII'': The first level has the [[PlayerCharacter main character]] get [[CharacterCustomization his/her]] arms and right leg, courtesy of a [[KillerRobot robot grunt]]. It's violent. [[NightmareFuel Very violent.]][[labelnote:*]]So much so [[http://kotaku.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-iiis-most-brutal-scene-haunts-m-1741248996 that many people got nightmares from it]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TheCatLady'': This is the first Sacrifice of Blood necessary to leave the Queen of Maggots' realm and return to the world of the living. Fortunately, it's [[AllJustADream only temporary]].
* ''Franchise/DeadSpace'':
** ''VideoGame/DeadSpace'':
*** The game is literally begging you to cut off the necromorphs' limbs to effectively deal with them.
*** An audio log found in the second half of the game documents a (former) survivor's efforts to remove his own limbs before committing suicide so his remains can't be turned into a necromorph. [[spoiler:It doesn't work.]]
** ''VideoGame/DeadSpaceExtraction'': [[spoiler:The main character Nathan [=McNeill=]]] has to amputate his own arm after a huge Necromorph impales it and he needs to get out of there fast.
* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'': Nero gets his [[RedRightHand Devil Bringer]] torn off by an unknown assailant[[note]]later revealed to be [[spoiler:a dying Vergil]][[/note]] wanting to get at Yamato (the demon sword that Vergil used to use). To compensate, [[WrenchWench Nico]] replaces it with a series of [[ArtificialLimbs Devil Breaker]] arms that Nero can use as a [[DiscardAndDraw replacement]] against the demonic hordes. [[spoiler:He eventually regrows his arm after gaining his [[EleventhHourSuperpower Devil Trigger]] ability.]]
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'': In the final DLC, [[spoiler:Solas removes most of the Inquisitor's left arm in order to prevent the mark from consuming them completely. However, certain epilogues show that they get a crossbow ArmCannon to replace it.]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Everhood}}'': Red starts the game with one of the arms stolen. Later another character, Blue Thief, loses both their legs.
* ''VideoGame/FearAndHunger'': Throughout the game, the player character and their party are susceptible to losing their limbs from enemy attacks. Losing an arm means that you can't wield two-handed weapons or a shield, while losing both legs reduces your speed to a crawl.
* ''VideoGame/FearEffect'': Partway through, Glas gets his arm cut off. [[spoiler:He gets it back in the true ending.]] Notably, this is one of the few cases in video games where the trope affects not only the plot but the gameplay; Glas is, naturally, unable to dual-wield his weapons after that point.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'': The climax of the "A Realm Reborn" arc ends with the Sultana's bodyguard and general, Raubahn, losing his arm when trying to avenge the [[spoiler:faked]] death of his charge.
* ''VideoGame/FleshBirds'': In one of the cabins, you find a man holding the bloody stump where his arm should be. After you talk to him, a bird breaks in through the window behind him and carries him off.
* ''VideoGame/GodHand'': Gene had his right arm cut off by Felix when he tried to save Olivia. Olivia repaid him by putting the titular limb on the stump. Later, [[spoiler:Azel tears the left God Hand off of himself in a panic as he is being consumed by Angra]].
* ''VideoGame/Kindergarten2'' has a type 1 example played for laughs. Nugget gets trapped behind a sewer grate, and if the player doesn't help get him out, he chews his own arm off, leaving behind only a heavily bleeding stump. Not because the arm was stuck or anything, mind you. [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} He just figured that was necessary in that kind of situation.]] Despite trailing blood everywhere he goes, he still survives the day with little ill effect. After all, "[[MadeOfIron Nugget is quite durable.]]"
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyroDawnOfTheDragon'': The golem loses its left arm at the elbow early in the game after it becomes stuck in a cavern wall after a failed attempt at crushing the dragons and, in its struggles to free itself, accidentally tears it off.
* ''VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance'' sees [[spoiler:ComicBook/{{Colossus}} missing his right hand and part of his right leg below the knee after the fight with an Odinforce-empowered ComicBook/DoctorDoom. This is reversed with all the rest of the horrible things Doom did when Odin gets his powers back.]]
* ''VideoGame/MaxPayne3'': [[spoiler:Becker]]'s left arm gets ripped off when one of his own grenades explode in close proximity.
* ''VideoGame/MegamiTenseiII'': At one point, you are required to put your right arm into a demon statue's mouth to retrieve an item. The statue then bites your arm off, which prevents you from attacking or using the COMP and makes you lose HitPoints every time you walk. You must get a new arm from Cyber Labs that is hard enough to grab the item without getting bitten off.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'':
*** Revolver Ocelot loses an arm thanks to Gray Fox, [[spoiler:and then proceeds to replace it with the deceased Liquid Snake's arm before the events of ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty Metal Gear Solid 2]]'' as part of a convoluted plot to fool the Patriots]].
*** Gray Fox himself loses his left arm [[spoiler:while sacrificing himself to help Solid Snake defeat Liquid]].
** After becoming a cyborg, Raiden loses both of his arms in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'', cutting off his right arm to free himself from being pinned by debris and losing the other while [[spoiler:saving Solid Snake from being crushed by Outer Haven]]. In ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'', he loses an arm in his first battle against Jetstream Sam, which not only results in Raiden getting a new and improved cyborg body, but basically sets off the main plot.
** Big Boss and Miller lose an arm and a literal arm and leg, respectively, in the aftermath of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVGroundZeroes''. Hence the name of the following game, ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain''.
* Shinobu in ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' has her hand sliced off by Travis after their fight (Type 3). This [[{{Bowdlerization}} doesn't happen in the Japanese version]], leaving fans to wonder if it was canon, but ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'' has her show up with a cybernetic replacement hand, confirming its canonicity.
* In ''VideoGame/RatchetDeadlocked'', Al is hit by a blaster shot and has several parts replaced by cybernetics. The blaster only hit Al in the butt, yet he winds up with cybernetics in many random and seemingly unrelated places, leading some fans to suspect Al is just [[{{Robosexual}} a little too into robots]]. Perhaps he had an "interface port" installed for [[RoboShip Helga]]...
* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankRiftApart'': During Rivet's backstory, she was [[StealthyColossus ambushed by a warbot]], which severely burned her arm to the point of uselessness with its EyeBeams, but didn't completely blast it off, requiring manual amputation. This would imply an attempted Type 3, though when that very same warbot mentions their side of the story to Ratchet, it's revealed that they never intended to cause damage at all, but their [[KillerRobot programming]] accidentally turned a warning shot into an attack, which makes the event a Type 2.
* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'':
** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'':
*** It's possible, but rare, for a non-lethal shot to a zombie from the side -- or even successfully pushing one back after it grabs you -- to cause one of the zombie's arms to fall off. With the Custom Shotgun, an upwards-aimed shot tends to blow off off one arm by vaporizing the shoulder along with the head.
*** This is the best way to deal with zombies in [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake the remake]]. Headshots no longer do any more damage than a body shot, barring a lucky [[YourHeadAsplode critical hit]]. However, it only takes a couple of bullets to blow a leg off, rendering them unable to walk. At that point, they can only crawl slowly on the ground, and due to the way the AI works, they are completely unable to attack you if you are behind them. This makes them very easy to finish off with a knife.
** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard'''s Ethan Winters has his left arm chopped off in the game's prologue, and the same can happen to one of his legs if Jack catches up to him. They both get reattached almost immediately [[spoiler:thanks to Ethan's infection]].
* ''VideoGame/ReturnOfTheObraDinn'': [[spoiler:Happens to both Seaman John Naples (who got his leg cut off by the Captain's Steward Fillip Dahl, possibly in an effort to free the mermaids from the lazarette) and Bosun Alfred Klestil (who got his arm ripped off by a kraken at the end of Chapter VII, though he only makes it through to the beginning of Chapter IX).]]
* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'': A recurring antagonist in the cave goblin quests has a Ring Of Life, ensuring that whenever you have him on the ropes he can teleport to safety. In the quest "The Chosen Commander", to show how much more dangerous the warrior god possessing your friend is, s/he cuts Sigmund's hand off before the Ring Of Life can activate, and ''then'' kills him. If you return to Lumbridge Castle after this quest and talk to Duke Horacio, he says with appropriate horror that ''Sigmund's severed hand'' teleported into the castle courtyard at some point.
* The prologue of ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice'' ends with the protagonist getting his left arm chopped off by a high-ranking samurai who proceeds to abduct his lord. Our hero promptly receives a fancy prosthetic limb and sets out on a RoaringRampageOfRescue.
* ''VideoGame/SeveredSteel'' is a FirstPersonShooter starring the titular agent who begins the game waking up with her lower left arm missing. Early in the game she promptly gets ahold a prototype ArmCannon, cappable of [[EverythingBreaks vaporizing walls]].
* ''VideoGame/StarWarsChess'': Many animations involving C-3PO have him losing limbs. This can happen regardless of whether or not he's on the winning side.
** When he captures a Stormtrooper, his hand gets shot off before he wins.
** When he captures Darth Vader, His whole arm gets cut off by Vader's lightsaber. He then proceeds to pick up his arm, clash it with the lightsaber, and somehow deactivates it, allowing him to club Vader with his arm.
* In the second chapter of ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland'', [[spoiler:Guybrush]] loses his left hand in a swordfight.
* ''VideoGame/TamingDreams'' has Berdanre, who lost his arm, leg, and spouse in a tragic accident.
* Axel of ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal2'' was stuck inside a vehicle created by [[AbusiveParents his father]] for 20 years; his arms and legs held captive by the two-wheeled monstrosity. In his ending, he wishes for the courage to stand up to his father, which [[JackassGenie Calypso]] surprisingly grants. Finally standing up to his father, Axel frees himself from the machine by ripping his limbs off, much to his father's horror. Quite rare for this trope, this is actually seen as a moment of triumph here.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', during the final fight with [[spoiler:Mettaton EX, you can blow his arms and legs off if you shoot his heart enough. This lowers the required Ratings level needed to Spare him.]]
* ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadSeasonOne'':
** The player can choose to initiate a Type 3 when a man's leg gets trapped. Especially notable because not only are you the one to do it, it's rather realistic, being incredibly gory, and even with you brandishing a fire ax, it takes four swings to make it all the way through, the receiver passing out from shock [[spoiler:and soon after dying due to blood loss]].
** In Episode 5, [[spoiler:after he's bitten, Lee can cut his arm off (or have someone else do it) in an attempt to save himself from the zombie infection. It doesn't work; he'll die at the end of the episode no matter what.]]
* ''[[VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadSeasonFour The Walking Dead: The Final Season]]'': In episode 4, Clem's leg is lacerated to the bone by Minerva and then chomped on by a walker. As she succumbs to the infection, she tries to force AJ to make the same choice she had to with Lee — let her turn, or put her out of her misery.
