Boltock Pistol: The Boltock Pistol although small in size this weapon packs an extremely powerful kick. This gun highly resembles that of an old revolver but with a little futuristic look. This gun however is considerably slow when shooting and hold a shallow clip of only 6 rounds, but is replaced with a dead accurate shot making this weapon nearly as powerful as the longshot sniper rifle
Boomshot: The Boomshot, usually thought as a Locust version of a rocket launcher, actually resembles a modern day grenade launcher. Instead of a straight path rocket this weapon fires a “ball-like, flying death” that arches and falls after its peak slope
Frag Grenade: The Frag Grenade is a very powerful device. It has a wicked blast radius and but being as it is a hand thrown armament its distance is limited. This grenade, like all the other ones can be tagged against an object making it a proximity mine, or for more fun if your daring enough you can tag your enemy and watch them disappear.
Gorgon Pistol: The Gorgon Pistol is a small but deadly burst pistol that fires in bursts of 6 powerful rounds. Although this weapon is somewhat slow between bursts but bakes up with its overwhelming strength.
Hammer of Dawn: The Hammer is a light weight laser guiding system. When playing in certain conditions, (clear skies, and an open target) The hammer plots the targeting position via laser and links directly to a satellite that pours down a concentrated beam of emulsion energy. This beam has a fairly decent sized blast radius so even when you think you are safe under a building the initial blast could still take you out. Unfortunately the targeting time for this weapon is relatively slow and if you move the laser too fast you will lose that targeting and will have to start over loosing you valuable battle time.
Ink Grenade: The Ink grenade when strategically thrown or planted could very well be an effective grenade. This unlike the other two grenades there is no force power and it doest disintegrate your being. This grenade instead explodes into a poisonous gas that lingers around a while and if you are overly exposed to the ink you will perish.
Longshot: The Longshot Sniper rifle could very well be the most accurate weapon in the game. This rifle comes equipped with a powerful zoom making for easy “one-hit-downs.” This is a bolt-action rifle which means in battle make your shots count and don’t let your enemy get a chance to hit you back. The longshot when used effectively could save your live when the battle gets hot
Mortar: The Mortar is a very heavy yet very efficient weapon. Cranking this weapon will increase it firing distance. When near impact the mortar will break into 7 to 9 rockets, clearing a level path of Locust drones. Like many of the weapons this one has a high blast radius and shouldn’t think yourself safe very often.
Mulcher: The Mulcher is also a heavy duty weapon. This portable crank turret can either be mounted for better accuracy and protection or be fired while in motion however severely reducing its efficiency.
Scorcher: This is a new weapon originally intended for the Stranded use but was quickly adapted into the Locust reinforcement. The Scorcher like its name reveals is a flame thrower and a strong on at that. This big blow torch will quickly clear away enemies if surrounded and will take down even the biggest of drones with a fiery stream of unpleasantness.
Torque Bow: Ah the Torque Bow. A very destructive and accurate weapon as well as a personal favorite. This future equivalent of a cross bow makes for a very deadly instrument. This weapon must be charged for a certain time or else the arrow will not penetrate. Now what would be the point in shooting these guys with an arrow? Doesn’t seem to effective. Good thing these arrows have a powerful explosive on the tip so as you can probably imagine it gets messy.
BoomShield: The BoomShield is a star example of maximum security. The somewhat small shield expands when active increasing its protective range. When active the holder will squad covering most of his legs, and his body. However due to this mobile fortress’ weight and shape it makes wielding a rifle or larger weapon impossible. When using the BoomShield you are restricted to the current pistol or sidearm you have.
Lancer: The Lancer Assault rifle is the standard issue weapon for the COG Army. This weapon along with its counterpart, the HammerBurst, is one of the most universal weapons you will use while playing. Each rifle is equipped with an unforgiving chainsaw bayonet making this weapon a nightmare at both far and close range.
HammerBurst: The HammerBurst rifle has changed considerably from the previous game. This gun is now a single shot rifle and is as fast as you can pull the trigger, but too fast will cause a drastic kickback effect throwing off its accuracy. Now don’t be discouraged at the fact that its only a single shot, as it has nearly the same damage if not more with its few rounds, than a whole clip of the lancer rifle. Also this gun is more accurate both when fine aiming and blindfiring. Keep in mind that this is the standard issue weapon for the Locust which means that ammo for this gun is relatively easier to fin than the lancer.
Gnasher Shotgun: Favored In the COG army as well as the Stranded the shotgun is a destructive force. Though the shotgun is at its peak performance when used in close quarters, it still effective at medium ranges
COG Pistol: The standard issue pistol if used with a trained finger can be a key to winning when ammo’s low. This semi-auto pistol can shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger .
Smoke Grenade: This grenade releases a high radius kickback to any surrounding persons while pouring out a blinding smoke making for an easy “kick-em while there down” elimination. |
