* In [[Ryu ga Gotoku|Yakuza:Dead Souls]] the Pistol has infinite ammo, making it the Ranged Emergency Weapon for most characters. The only exception is Akiyama, whose primary weapon is a pair of pistols, which serves to ease the player into the game (since Akiyama is the first playable character).
* The video game version of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' gives Gimli throwing axes. They're by far the least effective of the characters ranged weapons (with the possible exception of the hobbits knives in the ''Return of the King'') and are slow to throw, but they're useful for dealing with archers or enemies who are a long way away.
* ''[[Dragon Age]] Origins'' uses Strength to determine whether a character can wield big melee weapons and Dexterity for bows. There are also Strength-based crossbows to provide Warriors with an [[Emergency Ranged Weapon]]. Crossbows are universally and unconditionally awful.
* ''[[Darksiders]]'' gives War a gun and a boomerang for long-range work, but there's no question that he's a melee-character - neither of them can do much of any damage, but there are a few situations where you're forced to use them on enemies you either can't reach, or don't want to be standing next to.
