-
+### Step 3: Spawn Weapons in the Level
+
+There are two ways to add weapons to your level:
+
+#### Option A: Manual Placement (Recommended)
+
+1. Open your level scene (e.g., `level/scenes/level.tscn`)
+2. Drag a WorldWeapon scene into `WeaponsContainer`:
+   - From FileSystem panel: `level/scenes/weapons/world_weapon_sword.tscn`
+   - Or: `level/scenes/weapons/world_weapon_shield.tscn`
+   - Drop it as a child of `WeaponsContainer`
+3. Position the weapon in 3D space where you want it to spawn
+4. Save the scene
+
+**How it works:**
+- The server automatically detects manually placed WorldWeapon nodes on startup
+- Each weapon is assigned a unique ID and tracked for multiplayer
+- Clients automatically receive synced copies via RPC
+- No code changes needed - just drag and drop!
+
+#### Option B: Dynamic Spawning
+
+Spawn weapons via code in `level.gd`:
+
+```gdscript
+# In _spawn_initial_weapons() or wherever you need
+_weapon_spawn_counter += 1
+rpc("spawn_world_weapon",
+    "res://level/resources/weapon_sword.tres",
+    Vector3(5, 1, 0),  # spawn position
+    Vector3.ZERO,      # initial velocity
+    _weapon_spawn_counter
+)
 ```
-[RigidBody3D] - WorldWeaponYourWeapon
-  └─ [CollisionShape3D] - Approximate weapon shape
-```
-
-Set the script to `world_weapon.gd` and assign your WeaponData resource.
 
-Example: `level/scenes/weapons/world_weapon_sword.tscn`
+This is useful for:
+- Spawning weapons at runtime
+- Procedural weapon placement
+- Loot drops from enemies
 
 ## Testing
 
 ### In Godot Editor
 
 1. Open `level/scenes/level.tscn`
-2. Drag a WorldWeapon scene (e.g., `world_weapon_sword.tscn`) into the level
-3. Position it somewhere visible
-4. Run the game (F5)
+2. Add a manually placed weapon (see Option A above) or modify `_spawn_initial_weapons()` in `level.gd`
+3. Run the game (F5)
+4. Walk near the weapon and press **E** to pick it up
