Just Cause 3 Guide › Weapons

Two-Handed Weapons

Assault Rifles

Assault Rifles are a comfortable blend of range, speed, and firepower. They’re more versatile than LMGs and Shotguns, so they’re an excellent choice when you don’t know what to take on an upcoming mission.

U-39 Plechovka

The Plechovka is a light hitter when it comes to Assault Rifles; don’t expect it to wade through your targets with reckless abandon. It’s a middle-of-the-road weapon that has a very good rate of fire. Keep your target in your sights and whittle them down.

CS Predator

The Predator is almost a full-out improvement over the Plechovka. Its boosts in Accuracy and Stability make it a delightful weapon to shoot; you hit your targets quite well at most ranges. The drop in Firing Rate and Capacity is a small price to pay for most applications.

CS27 Misfortune

The Misfortune does high damage and has very reliable Accuracy, as well. This gun is a killer, and it lets you have many of the advantages of a normal Assault Rifle while still approaching the Accuracy of a Sniper Rifle.

UPM61

Similar to the Misfortune, this gun can keep shots on targets like a pro. Amazing Accuracy has a price in this case, and the UPM61 loses enough of its Firing Rate that its total damage output suffers a little. Choose this when you need an Assault Rifle with unparalleled Accuracy, but think about the Misfortune or Predator when you’re simply trying to keep the damage pouring.

Light Machineguns

Light Machineguns (LMGs) offer serious stopping power with sustained fire. They’re a joy to use, especially if you know that you’re going to be defending a position.

Urga Vdova 89

For extended firefights, this weapon comes out on top. It doesn’t have the sniping potential of the Assault Rifles (or Sniper Rifles, obviously). However, it’s made to keep putting shots on target in prolonged bursts. When you’re taking down large groups, this excels.

Shotguns

Shotguns give you massive damage at close range. They’re a weaker choice if you’re going to be outside, fighting enemies with rifles of any sort. However, they’re the best two-handed choice if you’re assaulting a base, or going into a city environment (with lots of potential for sudden ambushes).

U-96 Kladivo

You won’t get anything good out of the Kladivo if you start a fight at medium or long range. This Shotgun is entirely designed to eliminate a single target quickly at almost point-blank range. That’s what it’s for. That’s what it does well.

Automat U12

The U12 improves heavily on the basic nature of the Kladivo and gives you a weapon with more potential. It retains the catastrophic damage, but gives you more time to fire. You still take this for close quarters battles, but it can handle heavier single targets or even small groups of targets in its ideal range.
