* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]]'', an unusually high number generic guards will sometimes tell you that "I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee."
* In ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'', this is the general modus operandi of the [[Everything's Better with Penguins|Penguin Mafia]].
* In the ''[[Resident Evil]]'' series, the player can kneecap the infected/infested/zombies/abominations to pull off kicks and tricks against the enemy although kneecapping is also arguably justified when fighting zombies. This is especially useful in [[Resident Evil 4]] where Leon (and Ashley) can suplex the infested after a kneecap shot.
