	Common weapons may be found as drops from monsters with weapons as their [[set drop]], from [[item boxes]] (except those that are set to drop specific items), and even from [[List of quest rewards\|quest rewards]]. Common weapons can drop as any weapon type, except those types that exist only as rare weapons (see [[Weapons#Weapon_types\|weapon types]] above). Every common weapon type can drop on every [[Section ID]], though certain IDs have higher probabilities for specific types (e.g. <span style="white-space:nowrap">{{Skyly}}</span> for {{Sword\|Swords}}). {{Sword\|Sabers}}, {{Gun\|Handguns}}, and {{Cane\|Canes}} have the highest drop rate at <code>13%</code> across all IDs (see [[Weapon_drop_tables#Weapon_type_drop_rates\|weapon type drop rates]] for more detail).

	When a common weapon is dropped, the game performs a series of checks against [[Weapon drop tables\|various tables]] to determine all of its characteristics--including weapon type, special tier, attributes, and attribute values. If a monster's [[set drop]] is a weapon, [[Item_drops#Drop_rate_boosts\|drop boosts]] that increase a monster’s [[Drop anything rate\|drop anything rate]] will improve the chances of it dropping one. [[Item boxes]] are unaffected by any drop boosts.

	===Horizontal===		===Horizontal===
	The horizontal distances and angles are the two variables which determine a weapon's forward reach and sideways reach. A weapon with a larger horizontal distance can reach further (e.g. {{Gun\|Mechgun}}'s 85 vs. {{Gun\|Handgun}}'s 170), while a weapon with a wider horizontal angle is able to reach enemies further to the side (e.g. {{Sword\|Partisan}}'s 40° vs {{Sword\|Sword}}'s 45°). A wide horizontal angle also gives many weapons "auto-aim", as the weapon's radius of attack will be very wide, similar to a shot-type weapon.

	The diagram to the left showcases an example of two weapons with their horizontal distances and angles. The black line is the weapon's horizontal distance, while the red lines are the constraints set by the horizontal angles. As can be seen, {{Sword\|Sword}} has a rather wide area of attack, but does not reach very far. On the contrary, {{Gun\|Mechgun}} reaches much further but can only aim at enemies almost directly in the line of sight.
