* Throughout the ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' series, Noel Vermillion's Nox Nyctores Bolverk has taken on the form of a pair of [[HandCannon Hand Cannons]], a minigun, a rocket launcher, a shotgun and a {{BFG}} that fires a massive laser beam at the opponent, to name a few.

* The Beretta ARX160 is designed to be easily and rapidly customizable. It's grenade launcher can be quickly detached and replaced with a bipod and it's barrel can be swapped out in seconds. This allows it to conceivably go from an assault carbine to a light machine gun or a marksmen's rifle during a fire fight if someone had the need and parts.

* Pandora from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'' is a demonic briefcase which is able to change its configuration and is apparently bottomless. It can be transformed into a [[GatlingGood gatling gun]], an [[FuumaShuriken oversized three-bladed shuriken]], at least two types of rocket launchers of various efficacy, a [[WaveMotionGun big laser cannon]] and a floating platform [[MoreDakka laden with]] [[MacrossMissileMassacre rocket launchers]]. Overall, this briefcase has [[NumberOfTheBeast 666]] forms, but we get to see [[TakeOurWordForIt only the ones described above]] and the last-resort one, ''PF666: Omen'', which is activated by simply [[SealedEvilInACan opening up its lid]].

* You have to be superhumanly strong to use most of them, but ''Naruni: Wave 2'' for ''TabletopGames/{{Rifts}}'' contains a series of mercenary multi-rifles, which tend to combine three weapons in one, such as the Silverfire, which contains a gun which fires silver projectiles, a flamethrower, and a laser; and others that combine plasma cartridge, laser, plasma beam, grenade, micromissiles etc. together, usually in combinations of three. Some can even have a vibro-bayonet mounted, for extra cost.

Added DiffLines:

* Your character in ''VideoGame/NoMansSky'' only has a single Multi-Tool. Instead of acquiring new guns, you install modules into your Multi-Tool that weaponize it in different ways, such as a Boltcaster that turns it into an automatic gun, a Blaze Javelin that charges over a couple seconds and uses carbon as ammo, or a Plasma Spitter that functions as a grenade launcher. The Multi-Tool also accepts non-combat modules, such as the Mining Beam or the Terrain Manipulator, as well as non-offensive modules such as a force shield. You start with a small Multi-Tool with limited capacity for modules, and as you progress through the game, you can replace it with larger Multi-Tools that can accept more modules as well as more upgrades.

* In ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest'', King/Kaptain K.Rool arms himself with a blunderbuss that while looking rather plain and ordinary, is able to rapid-fire massive cannonballs along with various types of debilitating gases that hinder the Kongs' ability to dodge his attacks. He's also able to use it as a jet to propel himself around the arena at high speeds and as a vacuum to draw the Kongs close so he can [[PistolWhip club them with its stock]]. The last function ends up working against him as clogging it up with a cannonball will cause it to backfire explosively.
** The king wields the same blunderbuss in his appearance in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where it retains its multi-purpose nature, being able to fire cannonballs as well as vacuum up both enemy projectiles and opponents for use as ammunition.

* The obscure ''Videogame/GunmenChronicles'' is made of this trope. It has little more than 6 actual weapons, but each weapon has at least 4 submodes, that can even have their own ''sub-sobmodes'': you can program a Rocket Launcher for firing homing or non homing missles, and sub-program said missles to be high explosive, grapeshot, or attach to the surface as laserwire high explosive/grapeshot mines.
