Arsenal

Your standard weaponry selected from the Weapon Wheel.

Chaingun

Locations Found Kadingir Sanctum, Argent Facility (Destroyed)

Damage

Ammo Capacity (Bullets)

The Delta-12 Chaingun (often referred to as “The D12” by operatives) is a high velocity heavy weapon capable of suppressing multiple targets at once. Recent changes to the firing mechanism have pushed the Delta-12 to the physical limits of a ballistic weapon. An Argent infused piston compresses gas within the firing crucible to over 220,000 PSI. When released, this launches a 15mm Tungsten Slug with a muzzle velocity of nearly 5,000 feet per second. The heat generated by this action is syphoned into a thermal gel compound that automatically recharges the 96-volt battery pack. This allows the weapon to sustain an almost endless firing cycle, as long as ammunition is present. The Delta-12 Chaingun weighs 45kg, making it a lethal but cumbersome armament.

Designed for sustained volleys, the Chaingun deals high damage at a very high rate of fire. It requires a little spin up time before it gets up to speed, so watch out, as you are vulnerable. Spin it up behind cover before moving out into the open.

Modifications

Gatling Rotator

The Weapon Mod button can spin up the Chaingun barrels without firing. Keep the weapon ready to go with this modification. If you release the button, though, it takes time to spin it back up. Fully upgrade this mod to penetrate through your targets and hit those behind them.

Upgrades*

*All upgrades can be purchased in any order.

Mastery Challenge

Get 5 kills in 5 seconds while using the Gatling Rotator.

Reward: Incendiary Rounds

Bullets deal more damage when the Chaingun reaches its maximum rate of fire.

Mobile Turret

Hold the Weapon Mod button to transform the weapon barrels into a Mobile Turret. It stalls if it overheats.

Upgrades

Mastery Challenge

Kill 4 or more demons during a single Mobile Turret deploy 5 times

Reward: Ultimate Cooling

The Mobile Turret no longer stalls.

Combat Shotgun

Locations Found The UAC

Damage

Ammo Capacity (Shells)

The UAC shotgun disperses a spread of high velocity buckshot for maximum impact against the enemy. Ideally suited for the operative who requires a speedy response for deadly close encounters, the wide coverage of this weapon loses impact at long range. The weapon is forged from a high quality Titanium Steel alloy to ensure maximum reliability, repeat rate, and yield strength.

Effective at medium and close range, the Shotgun is a versatile weapon for most encounters. This is the gun of choice throughout much of the campaign. It’s most effective in close combat, but can also be used from a medium range.

Modifications

Charged Burst

Hold the Weapon Mod button to charge up a three-round burst with a tighter spread. Successfully hitting all three shots from the Charged Burst increases the damage of the next burst. This effect does not stack. Charged Burst is also very effective at taking down Summoners.

Upgrades

Mastery Challenge

Kill 5 Mancubi with the Charged Burst.

Reward: Power Shot

Successfully hitting all three shots from the Charged Burst increases the damage of the next burst. This effect does not stack.

Explosive Shot

Hold the Weapon Mod button to charge up an arcing explosive round.

Upgrades

Mastery Challenge

Get 20 direct hits on Imps.

Reward: Cluster Strike

Getting a direct hit with an Explosive Shot spawns cluster bombs that deal additional damage.

Gauss Cannon

Locations Found Argent Energy Tower, Kadingir Sanctum

Damage

Ammo Capacity (Cells)

The Gauss accelerator design has been used by the UAC as the basis for numerous industrial projects over the years—such as the Argent Tower itself, and the Ore Diggers found on Deimos and Phobos. With very few moving parts, the Gauss Cannon makes a reliable, powerful weapon. By accelerating steel flechettes through a magnetized chamber, extremely high velocities can be achieved. The weapon has near perfect accuracy thanks to the aerodynamic design of the projectiles. Ammunition is cheap and readily available, and is designed to maintain its composition when passing through organic material. The Gauss Cannon has a noticeable kick that must be compensated for by the operator.

While it has high damage potential, the concentrated beam of the Gauss Cannon demands accuracy. Get used to aiming this weapon. It can take out any standard enemy with just a few shots, but accuracy is key with this one. Note that 15 Cells are used in each shot, while Siege Mode requires 30 Cells.

A standard Gauss beam penetrates through fodder enemy classes. To minimize time stuck in place with Gauss Siege Mode, it can be deployed in mid-air and you maintain your momentum. A fully charged Gauss Sniper can take out a Hell Knight or Cacodemon if hit in the head or eye, respectively.

Modifications

Precision Bolt

Use the Weapon Mod button to zoom in and charge a high damage shot.

Upgrades

Mastery Challenge

Kill 5 Hell Knights with a Precision Bolt headshot.

Reward: Volatile Discharge

Demons killed by the Precision Bolt explode, dealing damage to nearby demons.

Siege Mode

Use the Weapon Mod button to charge up a powerful beam that penetrates targets. Movement is disabled while using Siege Mode.

Upgrades

Mastery Challenge

Kill 3 or more demons with a Siege Mode beam 10 times.

Reward: Mobile Siege

Allows movement while using Siege Mode.

Heavy Assault Rifle (HAR)

Locations Found Resource Operations

Damage

Ammo Capacity (Bullets)

Although recently superseded by the Plasma Rifle as the UAC’s standard issue weapon, the Heavy Assault Rifle is still in widespread use due to its dependable mechanical firing mechanism, high accuracy at long range, and an abundant supply of ammunition. The weapon is effective at all engagement distances, and is best used against a solitary target, unless a micro missile modification is present. The standard issue ammunition is a .50 caliber FMJ round.

With high velocity rounds, the Heavy Assault Rifle is ideal for hitting fast-moving targets. Pull this one out when facing enemies such as the Spectre or Lost Souls.

Modifications

Micro Missiles

Hold the Weapon Mod button to bring up a rack of Micro Missiles.

Mastery Challenge

Stick 4 different demons in 5 seconds.

Reward: Bottomless Missiles

Micro Missiles can be fired indefinitely without requiring a reload.

Tactical Scope

Attaches a Tactical Scope that allows for zooming in on targets with the Weapon Mod button.

Mastery Challenge

Get 50 headshot kills while using the Tactical Scope.

Reward: Devastator Rounds

Ammunition fired while zoomed uses experimental, heavy damage rounds.

Pistol

Locations Found The UAC

Damage

Ammo Infinite

Every UAC employee is provided a standard UAC EMG (Energy-Matter-Gel) Sidearm upon promotion to Tier 2 and above. This sidearm is reliable and effective at short range. A gravity gear dynamo in the stock charges a capacitor whenever the operator moves. When the weapon is fired, the capacitor compresses up to 4 megawatts of Argent Energy into a hardened plasma gel and launches the slug at high velocity. The gel slug has the same impact properties of conventional ammunition, making the weapon act and feel like a standard ballistic firearm.

The weapon is constructed of thermally diffusive metal alloys that allow it to discharge rapidly and repeatedly without overheating or compromising the accuracy. The capacitor in the EMG can also be upgraded to concentrate the energy into one large pulse for more stopping power.

The Pistol is a sidearm with limitless ammo that’s most effective against weaker targets. This UAC standard issue is ideal when high damage is unnecessary. Rapidly pull the trigger to maximize the weapon’s usefulness. Great for staggering lower-level enemies without killing them.

Modifications

Charged Energy Shot

Hold the Weapon Mod button to power up a Charged Energy Round. Charged Pistol Shot can penetrate through fodder enemy class.

Upgrades

Mastery Challenge

Get 15 headshot kills with the Charged Energy Shot.

Reward: Increased Power

Increases the maximum power of the Charged Energy Shot, resulting in higher damage potential.

Plasma Rifle

Locations Found Resource Operations, Foundry

Damage

Ammo Capacity (Cells)

The Plasma Rifle became standard issue among military units with the advent of Argent powered electromagnetic accelerators. Based off the HIPGD design of the early 21st century, this weapon delivers a rapid salvo of plasmoids that inflict both impact and thermal damage to the target.

The Plasma Rifle has a very high rate of fire and leverages plasma projectiles to pick apart enemies. The Heat Blast gives the weapon higher damage, while Stun Bomb makes it more tactical. Hit a group with the Stun Bomb and then follow up with some rapid fire mayhem. Note that each shot uses 10 cells.

Modifications

Heat Blast

Firing the Plasma Rifle builds up excess heat that can be released as a powerful blast by using the Weapon Mod button.

Upgrades

Mastery Challenge

Kill multiple demons with a single Heat Blast 20 times.

Reward: Heated Core

Generate heat passively without needing to spend ammo.

Stun Bomb

Pressing the Weapon Mod button launches an electrified projectile that stuns demons within its detonation radius. It must recharge after firing. This knocks out a Possessed Security shield.

Upgrades

Mastery Challenge

Kill 30 stunned demons.

Reward: Chain Stun

Demons killed while stunned release a secondary stun detonation that affects nearby demons.

Rocket Launcher

Locations Found Foundry, Argent Facility

Damage

Ammo Capacity (Rockets)

This weapon has seen little design modification since its development in the late 21st century. It’s standard issue to Heavy Weapons Specialists in all military forces due to its unparalleled direct impact and radius damage. The UAC improved the design slightly by adding an automated quick reload. The weapon casing has been retrofitted to accept UAC developed modifications.

With a large blast radius and high damage, the Rocket Launcher is useful against all but the fastest enemies. These rockets are easily avoided, but effective against the big, lumbering demons such as the Mancubi.

Modifications

Remote Detonation

Press the Weapon Mod button to detonate any rockets in flight. This can easily take out a pack of Lost Souls with a well-timed detonation.

Upgrades

Mastery Challenge

Kill 3 or more demons with a single detonation 15 times.

Reward: External Payload

Explosives are now mounted around the rocket, allowing a Remote Detonation to occur without destroying the projectile.

Lock-on Burst

Press and hold the Weapon Mod button to lock onto a target. Once locked, firing quickly launches three rockets at the target. Lock-on Mod is very effective against the Summoner.

Upgrades

Mastery Challenge

Kill 5 Summoners using the Lock-on Burst.

Reward: Multi-Targeting

Holding the Weapon Mod button to lock now supports up to three targets. Rockets are divided amongst established locks.

Super Shotgun

Locations Found Argent Facility, Argent Energy Tower

Damage

Ammo Capacity (Shells)

While this weapon has been removed from the UAC’s approved weapon arsenal, many veteran operators insist that there’s no better alternative for close combat. It offers incomparable destructive power at extremely close range, but is completely ineffective at long range. The weapon is light and small, making it a favored secondary weapon that no self-respecting combat specialist would be seen without.

A devastating close range weapon, the Super Shotgun presents plenty of risk and reward. Super Shotgun spread makes it effective at killing multiple enemies with a single shot. This weapon does devastating damage up close, making it particularly effective against elusive foes like the Summoner.

Modifications

Improvements

Improvements is not technically a mod. It simply improves the weapon.

Upgrades

Mastery Challenge

Kill multiple demons with a Super Shotgun blast 30 times.

Reward: Double Trouble

Fire twice with the Super Shotgun before having to reload.
