EQUIPMENT

Primary Weapons

In the single-player game you are allowed to carry up to two primary weapons and a secondary weapon. Multiplayer matches normally give you slots for a single primary weapon and one secondary weapon. The following list provides the

primary weapons’ stats. This includes assault rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns, and shotguns.

Certain multiplayer modes allow you to customize your equipment. In this case, you spend credits accrued from play to buy various weapons and their attachments. Some weapons have gold-plated versions that are available for purchase once you own the standard variant. This option is also listed in the following section.

FRWL

		The FRWL is a favorite of
		mercenaries in poorer parts
		of the world. It’s a durable
		weapon with an average
		mix of stats. You can use the

FIRING RATE	FAST	has a decent clip, inflicts fair

TND-16

RANGE:	MEDIUM
FIRING RATE:	MEDIUM
CLIP:	30
GOLD PLATED VERSION:	NO
COST:	500
ATTACHMENTS:	SCOPE, HOLO SIGHT,
	SILENCER

The TND-16 is a competitor to the FRWL. You can get more accuracy out of the TND, and it has slower fire. That’s not really a downside. It’s easier to set up this weapon for proper burst and kill ambushes, while the FRWL has a tendency to eat your ammo and leave you reloading rather often.

especially grand in any way. Many rifles offer greater range, and there are higher- damage weapons for close range. This is a middle-of-the-road weapon, and as such can be outclassed quite easily by more specialized but perhaps less well-rounded equipment.

Here’s best advice of all: don’t go to short range against a shotgun or submachine gun, and don’t snipe it out against a sniper rifle. Outflank the snipers and outdistance the short-range gunners. That’s how you win with

this weapon.

SAF 9MM

		The SAF is a modest offering.
		Like many of the smaller
		weapons, you aren’t meant
		to use it in a drag-down
		fight. This weapon is better
		suited to charging through
RANGE:	SHORT

		on in the primary game,

so most multiplayer types become quite familiar with it. That’s a perk because the weapon is comfortable.

Cool-headed folks who prefer a burst-fire weapon to a raging automatic are better suited to the TND.

M14

		Speaking of cool heads, the
		M14 is a great pairing for
		such players. At long and
		medium range, this weapon
		has wonderful accuracy.
RANGE:	LONG	Throw a scope on it and
		you’ve got a sniper’s weapon.

leap over obstacles and clear a tight room with one, but that isn’t the point. Select a fast-firing secondary weapon to cover that eventuality, and you’re good to go.

TLD-22

A3 RAKER

RANGE:	LONG
FIRING RATE:	FAST
CLIP:	30
GOLD PLATED VERSION:	NO
COST:	1200
ATTACHMENTS:	SCOPE (DEFAULT), SILENCER

This is a very fun weapon choice. The Raker lists as a long-range assault rifle, which it certainly is. But the weapon can be used in a variety of roles that aren’t always available for assault rifles. The Raker can quite passably snipe. It won’t reach the ranges of the full- on sniper rifles, but it’s close enough to play ball.

RANGE:	SHORT
FIRING RATE:	VERY FAST
CLIP:	100
GOLD PLATED VERSION:	YES
COST:	8000
ATTACHMENTS:	HOLO SIGHT, SILENCER

The TLD-22 is a mean submachine gun. Its greatly expanded clip size allows the user to suppress and eliminate entire groups if they aren’t prepared. Multiplayer agents should match this with Silent Footsteps and ambush- oriented fighting techniques. Hide in quieter parts of the map and wait for people to engage each other. Let them focus on other parts of the team, then charge in for the slaughter.

Then, when you switch the baby over to full auto, it can defend you at medium range with the best of them. Fair damage and an optional silencer leave it perfectly serviceable there.

Players that can toggle their weapon options quickly and shift gears between sniping and traditional fighting are well advised to get this.

It’s a mean weapon—and a lot of fun. It’s also quite expensive. Get the gold-plated version if you want to show you really mean business.
