Blaster

A rechargeable laser weapon that doesn’t require ammunition. Good enough to knock down guards but don’t put too much faith in this default side-arm.

Shotgun

A standard shotgun that uses shells for ammunition. It’s much more damaging up close and is good for the novice marksman since your aim doesn’t need to be right on. 

Super Shotgun

Great to get up close and personal, but takes a while to re-load between shots. As with the standard shotgun, it’s pretty much useless at far distances - but be forewarned it eats many more shells than it’s little brother.

Machine Gun

A handy piece of machinery to keep tucked in under your arm. This automatic weapon is light, so watch for the kick-back - it may push your aim up. 

Chain Gun

Very effective in giving the Strogg some lead freckles. The chain gun eats more shells than you can imagine so use this baby sparingly. Also, keep in mind it takes some time to get it going and it may take a few seconds to chill out after use. 

Hand Grenade

After you twist it, lob the grenade at unsuspecting aliens. The longer you hold it after its been activated, the farther it’ll go. Remember - they can’t hear you throw it so use that to your advantage. 

Grenade Launcher

This handy weapon is perfect for launching grenades in large rooms, but not to be used in enclosed areas or it may hit a wall and bounce right back on your lap. Ouch! 

Rocket Launcher

Bam! Owning a rocket launcher is certainly an asset, so keep a look out for one. These are vital in taking out the tougher aliens, but make sure you don’t use them up close or you’ll damage yourself as well.

Hyper Blaster

An energy chain gun that uses cells as ammo. Expect a high rate of fire and virtually no spin time to worry about. 

Rail Gun

If you can lift this sucker - use it. The rain gun shoots fatal uranium slugs, but make sure your aim is dead-on since it fires them at super-speed. Note the blue corkscrew trail from your projectile. Cool, huh?

BFG

Doom players may remember this favorite. When in need, fire the BFG into a room full of Strogg to silence the bunch. I like the cut of your gib!
