Weapon Categories

Weapons are your primary means of offense. Each character has a unique starting set, and understanding their strengths is vital.

• Handguns: Standard sidearms (e.g., M92F, SIG P226). Good for headshots, stunning enemies, and conserving ammo. Low damage but high accuracy. Best used for setting up melee attacks.
• Shotguns: Powerful close-range weapons (e.g., M3, Hydra). Excellent for crowd control, breaking armor, and dealing heavy damage to single targets up close. Limited range and ammo.
• Machine Guns: High rate of fire weapons (e.g., MP5, AK-74). Great for sustained damage, quickly building the special attack gauge, and suppressing groups. Can consume ammo rapidly.
• Rifles: Precision long-range weapons (e.g., S75, Dragunov). Ideal for picking off distant targets, especially ranged enemies or weak points. Slow rate of fire and often limited ammo.
• Magnums: Extremely powerful handguns (e.g., Killer7, S&W M500). Devastating single-shot damage, perfect for mini-bosses and high-health enemies. Very limited ammo.
• Grenade Launchers: Area-of-effect weapons (e.g., Grenade Launcher). Fires various types of rounds (explosive, incendiary, flash). Excellent for crowd control and dealing with armored foes. Very limited ammo.

Always consider the mission's enemy types and layout when choosing a character, as their starting weapons will dictate your primary strategy. For example, a shotgun is invaluable in tight corridors, while a rifle is better for open maps with distant threats.
