@Maki To answer your question, there are no weapon drops. To stay true to RWBY, your weapon is basically a part of your character. You can only upgrade, improve, or add attachments to your weapon. To combat that, your character will have skill trees that change how they play in combat to keep things interesting. You will also be able to make 6 different characters, so you have a chance experience every class.
