Firearms offer the advantage of ranged combat, allowing you to take out enemies from a safe distance. However, they are loud, alerting nearby enemies to your position, and have limited ammunition. Each firearm has different characteristics: pistols are versatile but low damage, shotguns are devastating at close range but slow to reload, and automatic weapons offer high rates of fire but chew through ammo quickly. Always be mindful of your ammo count. If you run out, you can throw the empty gun to stun an enemy, then pick up a new weapon. Prioritize picking up firearms when facing multiple armed enemies or Fat Guys.
