Handgun
Location:
Cybil gives it to you in the Café.
Pros:
It's quick, easy to use and there's loads of ammunition to be found. You can also move when firing.
Cons:
There's a limited range and this weapon can have little effect on bosses or the tougher enemies.
Recommended For:
Mumblers, Air Screamers. |

|
Kitchen Knife
Location:
Counter in Café.
Pros:
It's fast and you can use it to conserve your ammo.
Cons:
Need to get close to enemies to use it, and even then it only inflicts minor damage.
Recommended For:
Groaners and not much else. |
 |

 |
Steel Pipe
Location:
Finney Street, at the end of the alley.
Pros:
It's fast, reasonably powerful and, again, you can use it when you need to conserve your firearm ammunition.
Cons:
Need to get reasonably close to enemies to inflict damage, and it can be cumbersome to use.
Recommended For:
Larva Stalkers, Air Screamers. |
..:::TOP:::..
|
Shotgun
Location:
School, First Floor Boys Bathroom.
Pros:
There's plenty of ammo around for this weapon. Even though it's more powerful
than the handgun, you can still move when firing - use it point-blank and it can
be devastating.
Cons:
It takes longer to load and you're restricted to 6 bullet magazines. It's wise to avoid quick-moving bosses.
Recommended For:
Mumblers - particularly when you're surrounded by them. |

Small Axe
Location:
Hidden altar inside 'Green Lion'.
Pros:
It inflicts more damage - and is easier and lighter to use - than the Pipe. The Axe is also useful for smashing rusted locks.
Cons:
You need to get close to enemies to inflict damage. Avoid using this weapon if surrounded by many enemies.
Recommended For:
Mumblers and Larva Stalkers. |

|
Hunting Rifle
Location:
Shopping Mall, Larva Boss.
Pros:
Most powerful firearm weapon in the game.
Cons:
You can't move when firing, and it's slow to reload. Rifle Ammo is scarce, so you should try to conserve it.
Recommended For:
Bosses and tougher enemies like the Rompers. |
 |

Hyper Blaster
tm
(only available on your third time through the game after gaining UFO ending)
Location:
It's in your inventory at the start of the game.
Pros:
No ammo is required and it has a long range, automatic aim, which means you rarely
miss your target. The auto-aim will also sight enemies in the dark - and even through walls.
Cons:
The more you use it, the lower your score at the end of the game - and it's not quite powerful enough for bosses.
Recommended For:
Everything! |
