The ammo for em is damn expensive, but they%really trash whoever you're fighting.GRENADEGGrenades are one of my favorites.

Got it off a dead Death Warrior Leader.
ELEMENTALS@Nobody really understandselementals. Rumor has it they are theFspirits of lost souls have been fused into a radioactive energy form.CSuffering terriblyfull of hatred, they lash out at anything nearsGthem.

Nasty thing is, they have all of our training and,equipment on them. Make's em tough to fight.DROIDBThere are many different types of droids around out there. Most ofEthem are simple machines, but some liketerminators are cyborgs. MostGdroids using some kind of ironsteel plating armor. Stuff's useless formeyou though - too heavy.
TERMINATORLThe terminators are pretty nasty. Most people think they're simply machines,Abut theres a human brain inside em doesthinking. I know cause IJbashed ones head open once. The terminator's real strength is it's armor -IIt's got G-4 steel plating. Stuff's too heavy for humans to use, but mostIplaces will buy it up for a decent price - it's hard to find good qualitysteel these days.WIDOWEThe Black Widows? I've heard some talk of a new gang out inmountainsFcalledblack widows. They're supposedly pretty nasty.
