Once the darkness is stripped away, firearms are necessary to finish off the Taken. Each weapon has its own strengths and weaknesses, making weapon choice a strategic decision.
- Revolver: Your starting weapon. Low damage but decent accuracy and readily available ammunition. Good for single, weakened Taken.
- Shotgun: High damage at close range, excellent for taking down multiple weakened Taken or a single, tough enemy. Ammunition is less common than revolver rounds.
- Hunting Rifle: High damage and good accuracy at medium to long range. Ideal for picking off Taken from a distance or dealing with heavily armored foes. Ammunition is scarce.
- Pump-Action Shotgun: A more powerful version of the standard shotgun, with increased damage and a larger magazine capacity. Found later in the game.
Always aim for the head for critical damage. Conserve ammunition by only shooting Taken once they are fully vulnerable (white outline). Switching between weapons quickly can be crucial in intense firefights.
