The pistol is a solid all round menace that exceeds in stealthfully and accurately killing enemies with a supressor, tough it still serves as a good shootout weapon due to the ability to one shot helmetless enemies in the head and the sheer accuracy it can be fired in focus mode.

Final score: 26/35






Burst mode - Makes the weapon fire in bursts of three. Increased fire rate but harder to control best paired with the compensator and dual wielding.

Automatic mode - Makes the weapon fire at a very fast rate of fire. Extremely hard to control best paired with the compensator and dual wielding.

Supressor - Makes the weapon the weapon quieter to make stealth kills easier. Reduces accuracy and damage as a trade-off

Compensator - Reduces recoil drasticly while cripling the fire-rate in semi-auto mode.

Laser - Increases weapon accuracy. Makes the player easier to be detect by enemies in stealth


- The pistol is a ammo efficient weapon that is extremely hard to run out of ammo with due to the sheer amount of pistols littered all around the maps and used by most low level enemies.
- Combat effectivenes can be enhanced by dual wielding or using the burst / full auto attachment
- The pistol is weak when fired at the body, aim for the head for clean one shot kills
- Equipping the compensator attachment makes controlling recoil much easier, especialy while using either one of the fire-mode mods. Note that it drasticly reduces firerate in semi-auto!




- The pistol is based on the German Mk23 handgun which comes with the laser device and supressor that is equipable ingame.
- While the pistol looks similar to the one in the fear series of games it doesn't mimick the same pistol as fear. Fear uses the German HK USP which basicly is a smaller and more common mk23.

- The pistol has a unique achivement attached to it:
Efficient:
Kill 13 enemies without reloading

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The papa of all handguns. The revolver. It boasts extreme damage and manuvarability alongside dead-eye accuracy. Best used to take out single enemies with a one shot kill.

The revolver cant be modified because its perfect the way it is.




- Its high noon! You can "fan fire" the revolver rapidly if you hold the fire button down.




- The revolver is likely a Ruger GP100 + Chiappa Rhino combined.

- The revolver can only be accessed by owning the DLC: Bladekisser

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The smg excels in causing a constant burst of damage at a fast pace. While it may not be the strongest weapon against groups, it melts single target high health enemies such as bosses and juggernauts. Dual wielding the smg's makes them twice as lethal allowing you to melt crowds and bosses alike in seconds. The high capacity means that you don't have to reload as often as its currently the weapon with the second highes magazine capacity after the minigun.

Final score: 25/35




Supressor - Makes the weapon the weapon quieter to make stealth kills easier. Reduces accuracy and damage as a trade-off

Long barrel - Makes the weapon more accurate in longer bursts of fire. Increased recoil and decreased accuracy in the first shots.

Laser - Increases weapon accuracy. Makes the player easier to be detect by enemies in stealth.

Folded stock - folding the stock of the smg increases reload speed at the cost of increased recoil.


- The smg is one of the most common weapons used by any faction. Running out of reserve ammo is a hard challenge even when spraying and praying. Use this at your advantage
- Combat effectivenes can be enhanced by dual wielding.
- The smg is very weak when fired at the body or armor, aim for the head or other weakspots for highly increased damage output.
- Equipping the long barrel attachment makes the smg more effective when fired at long bursts thus making it more accurate in longer ranges. This comes at a cost however.

Trivia:

- The smg is based on the kriss vector submachinegun. Which uses a special recoil migitation device to make the weapon almost recoilless. This is represented in game aswell with low recoil.
- While the model uses the 30 round magazines the weapon ingame is depicted as having 50 rounds inside the magazine.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The rifle is strong beefy and reriable. It deals high damage at all ranges and can be equiped with loads of different attachments like the 2x scope. The rifle tough can be hard to control when fired in long bursts and especialy when dual-wielded. Focus/Slow-mo is reccomended

Final score 27/35




Supressor - Makes the weapon quieter allowing to keep a low profile and allowing easier stealth kills. Decreases accuracy and damage

2X Scope - Allows aiming with a two times magnification sight. Usefull in long range combat.
Increased accuracy and decreased spread when aiming, decreased accuracy when not.

Laser - Increases weapon accuracy. Makes the player easier to be detect by enemies in stealth.

Tips/Stragegies

- The rifle is the all round weapon of choice. It can be used in stealth, it can be used in combat, it can be used in both short and long ranges. If in doubt, pickup the rifle.
- Dual-wielding the rifles makes them unstoppable, shredding everything it comes across. This makes them really hard to control tough. Its recomended to use focus when spraying and praying.

Trivia:

- The rifle is based on the croatian VHS-D2 rifle and its variants. Even including the scope.
- The use of the croatian VHS-D2 by all of the ingame faction is strange as its rather rare outside croatian armed forces.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The midpoint between the assault rifle and the minigun. Big magazine, low recoil.
It can be equipped with an electric attachment that tazes and stuns enemies.

Supressor - Makes the weapon the weapon quieter to make stealth kills easier. Reduces accuracy and damage as a trade-off

Laser - Increases weapon accuracy. Makes the player easier to be detect by enemies in stealth

Taser - Turn the weapon to a non lethal stun gun. Stuns enemies but doesnt kill them.

Tips/Stragegies

Work in progress

- The lmg is great when dualwielded, allowing you to spray 100 rounds before having to reload.
- If you have to choose between a rifle and the lmg you should pick the lmg since its more or the less a direct upgrade if you dont mind the lack of a 2x scope.

Trivia:

- The machine gun ls based on the MGX machine gun.
- Even tough the gun features 40 round stanag magazines on its model the weapon holds 50 rounds ingame.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The shotgun is the only weapon youll ever need. Turning people into gorey fleshy paste to paint the town red with. alternatively you can use the dragons breath rounds to burn the town down instead. Overpowered, unmatched and godlike.

+ 5 Points for cool factor (gibbing and pure brutality)

Final score: 30/35




Supressor - Makes the weapon quieter allowing to keep a low profile and allowing easier stealth kills. Decreases accuracy and damage

Choke - Decreases vertical spread of shells when fired, allowing more accurate fire at ranges.

Dragons breath - Changes the ammo type from buckshot to the incendiary dragons breath round. Lights enemies on fire stunning them and causing afterburn damage.

Folded stock - Faster reloading for higher recoil. Basicly free reload speed since recoil doesnt matter in a pump action shotgun.


- The shotgun is literaly the only weapon you will need. It can be adapted to almost any situation and just works 110% of the time. In rage-mode this is the only viable weapon.
- Dual-wielding shotguns makes them even more busted, blowing up (or melting) everyone with hard hitting power.
- The dragons breath rounds are usefull when dealing with crowds of enemies as even a single pellet can take a enemy out of the fight. Tough not effective at taking down single targets
- The dragons breath rounds help you track invisible enemies such as Subject 107
- Normal rounds are stronger against singe targets.





- The shotgun is based off the iconic italian shotgun. The frenchi spas 12
- While usualy depicted as being semi-automatic the spas 12 in game is in pump action mode which is accurate to real life due to the shotguns ability to change firemodes.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The designated marksman rifle or dmr for short is the middle child between a assault rifle and a sniper rifle sharing features from both such as faster firerate and higher calibers. While the game lacks long range combat not including crashsite or site 18 it still proves to be a deadly tool in subject 106's arsenal. Tough im sure 106 could kill a whole squad with a thumb tack...

Final score: 24/35






Supressor - Makes the weapon the weapon quieter to make stealth kills easier. Reduces accuracy and damage as a trade-off

Compensator - Reduces recoil while decreasing fire-rate as a trade off. Helps with shooting.

Laser - Increases weapon accuracy. Makes the player easier to be detect by enemies in stealth

Scope - Allows aiming down the scope for increased range and accuracy when aiming. Decreased accuracy and increased spread when not aiming.

Ironsights - Removes the scope to allow closer range usage. Increases accuracy



- While you CAN dual wield dmr's you likely shouldnt aside from killing bosses fastly or Destroying the brains in the pandora HQ bossfight due to horrid accuracy.
- The dmr is a rather rare weapon to come across so take your shots carefully.
- When playing any of the more open missions like site-18 or crash site its recomended to use a scoped dmr to take out the Snipers


- While not to my knowledge straightly refrencing a real life weapon the dmr shares many similarities with the german Sl-8 rifle. Which is sold to the civilian population.
- Equiping the ironsights makes the rifle look more like the G36 which is the military version of the sl-8.'
- Despite being modelled with the 30-round magazine the weapon ingame only holds 10 rounds. This is likely either a balancing act or refrencing the low capacity civilian magazines

The mysterious bolt launcher at its base fires a three round burst of timed explosive rounds that are effective with taking out both groups and single targets. The bolt launcher can also equip the alternative "penetrator" mod that allows it to fire 3 different metal bolts that pin enemies to walls much like the half-life 2 rebar bow. Beware of the slow bullet travel-time
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

• Can be dual-wielded?: 0 - No

Final score: 21/35


2X scope - attaches a two times magnification optic to the weapon allowing to aim down sights for increases accuracy and decreased spread Vice versa when NOT aiming down sights when equiped. Best used with the penetrator mod to snipe enemies.

Penetrator - Changes the weapon to fire 3 different metal rods that pin enemies to walls. High damage and accurate. More ammo conservative than the standard explosive shots.


- The bolt launcher is strong at taking both groups and single targets down.
Very strong in the pandora HQ bossfight to destroy the brain tanks
- The bolt launcher is a rather rare weapon to come across so take your shots carefully.




The bolt launcher is based on the B&T GL-06
- The penetrator attachment is a direct callback to the FEAR series of games as it too has a bolt launcher with same properties.
- The name "penetrator" should never ever never be taken out of context... If you know you know.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
If you tought the bolt launcher was overkill you are severly mistaken... The grenade launcher can fire 4 impact grenades in quick succession with out needing to reload. Ultimate crowd control tool. Even more lethal when dual wielded. Try to not blow yourself up with it

Final score: 25/35





Homing - Removes the impact detonation property and adds a fuse to delay explosion. Shells fired at enemies will automaticaly hone in on their position even around corners....




- The grenade launcher is a very rare weapon to come across as there are about 3 main instances you will come across it Jorvik castle flesh monster fight, Pandora Hq Intro and Pandora Hq bossfight also can be aqquired in arena / endless mode trough the buy station.
- Be aware of the splash radious of the grenades, it can help you kill the enemies or yourself if you aren't carefull with your shots (Shooting in a small room)


- The grenade launcher refrences the russian VD 42? Grenade launcher... It was VD something right guys? I dont know im too fat and lazy to look it up.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Absolute firepower in a bulky brutal package. Devestates everything and everyone caught in front of the barrel while firing. A blood guard is reccomended! As we all know it costs 400 000 dollars to fire it for 12 seconds. Sadly cant be dual-wielded. Powerfull in focus mode.

Final score 21/35




Supressor - Makes the weapon quieter allowing to keep a low profile and allowing easier stealth kills. Decreases accuracy and damage. Why would you supress a minigun?

Bayonet - damages enemies in front of the barrel when spinning the cylinder or "revving up"

Laser - Increases weapon accuracy. Makes the player easier to be detect by enemies in "stealth".

2X scope - attaches a two times magnification optic to the weapon allowing to aim down sights for increases accuracy and decreased spread Vice versa when NOT aiming down sights when equiped. Why would you equip this on a damn minigun tough is something i dont know!?

Smart gun - Bullets automaticaly hone in towards targets even around walls and other barricades. Usefull when need to camp behind a corner like a baby arrises (Not really)

Tips/Stragegies

- Absolute powerhouse, just spray and pray. Nothing else needs to be said.
- Rarely used by bosses and heavy units.

Trivia:

- The minigun is based on a mixture of the Minimi+Mk46+M249 machineguns alongside a quad rotary barrel to give it the classic minigun look.
- Mandatory pootis POW TF2 refrence

- Ghostrunner 2 refrence?!
- The sword seems to be the same one one of the previous subjects was killed with in the first level. Alongside being the same sword subject 107uses in its bossfight

Grenades / Throwables are stored seperatly from the players two main firearms.
To throw / use a grenade press the button you have binded grenade throw to [G] <-- Standard

A sharp throwing knife to masterfully chuck at the enemies frontal lobe. Stylish and flashy, but not really practical. Basicly a weaker alternative to tomahawks.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


Damage: Low
Can be recycled (picked up after use): Yes
Quiet: Yes
Explosive/Splashdamage: No


Mainly used as a style booster, stealth kills and finishing off weakened enemies.
Personal favourite use case is to finish of enemies that ive shot with the bolt launcher

A cheap way to easily pick off groups of enemies both in the campaign and the arena modes as a stack of five flashbangs only cost 400 credits to purchase


Flashbangs have a unique achivement to unlock:

Think Fast!
- Kill an enemy with a flashbang impact.

- This achievement is also a refrence to the Tf2 meme with the same name.

- Juggernaut style enemies and bosses seem to be unaffected by the blinding effect.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A grenade to distract and lure enemies away from your location.

A grenade that releases a gas that turns enemies into "jiggly bois" / zombies.
These zombies agro both to the player and other human enemies. Drawing attention away from you.

In trepang2 The player (106) is the only person that has the ability to actualy throw and plant landmines. Also the landmine is not directly based on any landmine currently in service.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A experimental grenade that activates a thruster that flies and pushes enemies its attached to, exploding when the thruster de-activates. Note that this is a dlc only grenade!
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



Damage: High
Can be recycled (picked up after use): No
Quiet: No
Explosive/Splashdamage: Yes


Funny wacky and goofy way to blow up enemies.

Can be stacked on heavy enemies to cause a large chain reaction of explosions


The thruster mine may be a reference to the ridiculous gmod thrusters and their physics.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A experimental grenade that releases a black hole like vortex when detonated. Sucks in enemies, including the player. Great at completely destroying enemy waves.

Great at seeking out targets and flushing them out of cover.


Rat

Note that this list is not based on the custom weapon tiering system, instead this is based on my personal opinion!

First off, the shotgun is a must have in every mission with its insane damage and possible stunning effects with the incendiary rounds it will suit every need in every map (Even in Rage Mode)



The sword is strong and lethal, infinite ammo, infinite slaughther. Especialy destructive with focus and cloaking. Who wouldnt like a giant ass sword?





While this may be a un-popular opinion, the smg is really strong and under-rated. Its shreds in akimbo and especialy focus mode. Great against single high health enemies like the juggernauts.




Other than the shotgun the pistol is also really great to have, especialy if you are planning on a stealth/min detection run. Versatile and common, its hard to run out off reserve ammo.



Sheer firepower in a rare quantity. While the minigun rarely appears in game, when it appears you likely should pick the beast up and decimate wawes and hordes alike. Points off for rarity.



The lmg is just a straight upgrade to the rifle, higher capacity, lower recoil.




The rifle is basicly the smg's big brother, higher damage and more angst. Deadly in the right hands but not mine. (skill issue) semi hard to control in a such fast paced game where you die in mere frames.


The Dmr is lack for a better term, medicore. Does high damage and really dominates in damage output but lacks in everything else. No time to AIM in a movement shooter.



The bolt gun is extremely underapreciated. While it may not be the most practical option due to sheer ammo consumption and rarity, it still remains as the most fun weapon for me with the penetrator mod.


Oh and the grenade launcher also is just there. Like the bolt gun fun but whats the point when you can just chuck grenades and blow stuff up like 20 other ways? (- for rarity)

Thanks for reading trough (pr even just clicking on this guide)

If you have any feedback be free to leave it in the comments be it positive or negative.

I plan on updating the guide when the sword and lmg get added in game with the next dlc.
