Handguns can be holstered while larger firearms and melee weapons cannot. Similarly, melee weapons are discarded or destroyed once they lose their durability. Once a firearm runs empty, he will automatically discard it. Wei Shen is able to hold onto firearms as long as there is ammunition to be used. Some weapons can be permanently found in Safehouses by installing specific DLC or by completing all story missions to get a Golden. Additionally, players may find a firearm or melee weapon inside of certain Lockboxes and vehicle trunks. Instead, weapons are either acquired during certain missions or dropped/disarmed from Triad enemies, Police or normal citizens. The game focuses mainly on hand-to-hand combat, firearms and melee weapons cannot be purchased from vendors or kept in any type of inventory.
