EQUIPMENT
Primary Weapons
In the single-player game you are allowed to carry up to two primary weapons and a secondary weapon. Multiplayer
matches normally give you slots for a single primary weapon and one secondary weapon. The following list provides the
primary weapons’ stats. This includes assault rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns, and shotguns.
Certain multiplayer modes allow you to customize your equipment. In this case, you spend credits accrued from play to
buy various weapons and their attachments. Some weapons have gold-plated versions that are available for purchase
once you own the standard variant. This option is also listed in the following section.
TND-16
FRWL
The TND-16 is a competitor
to the FRWL. You can get
more accuracy out of the
TND, and it has slower fire.
That’s not really a downside.
It’s easier to set up this
weapon for proper burst and
kill ambushes, while the
FRWL has a tendency to eat
your ammo and leave you
reloading rather often.
The FRWL is a favorite of
mercenaries in poorer parts
of the world. It’s a durable
weapon with an average
mix of stats. You can use the
FRWL at almost any range; it
has a decent clip, inflicts fair
damage, and is essentially
without drawbacks.

The only problem with
the weapon is that it’s not
especially grand in any way. Many rifles offer greater range, and there are higher-
damage weapons for close range. This is a middle-of-the-road weapon, and as such
can be outclassed quite easily by more specialized but perhaps less well-rounded
equipment.
Cool-headed folks who
prefer a burst-fire weapon to a raging automatic are better suited to the TND.
Here’s best advice of all: don’t go to short range against a shotgun or submachine
gun, and don’t snipe it out against a sniper rifle. Outflank the snipers and outdistance
the short-range gunners. That’s how you win with
M14
this weapon.
Speaking of cool heads, the
M14 is a great pairing for
such players. At long and
medium range, this weapon
has wonderful accuracy.
Throw a scope on it and
you’ve got a sniper’s weapon.
Use an ARO scope instead,
and you’ll bring down people
well at medium range.

TLD-22
The TLD-22 is a mean
A3 RAKER
submachine gun. Its greatly
expanded clip size allows
the user to suppress and
eliminate entire groups if they
aren’t prepared. Multiplayer
This is a very fun weapon
choice. The Raker lists as
a long-range assault rifle,
which it certainly is. But
the weapon can be used in
a variety of roles that aren’t
always available for assault
rifles. The Raker can quite
passably snipe. It won’t

Then, when you switch the baby over to full auto, it can defend you at medium
range with the best of them. Fair damage and an optional silencer leave it perfectly
serviceable there.
It’s a mean weapon—and a lot of fun. It’s also quite expensive. Get the gold-plated
version if you want to show you really mean business.
Players that can toggle their weapon options quickly and shift gears between sniping
and traditional fighting are well advised to get this.

SAF.45
8-CAT
This version of the SAF can’t
use an ARO scope, sadly. This
is a poor man’s choice for a
submachine gun to use while
you’re saving credits for
more exotic choices. There’s
nothing glaringly deficient
about the SAF .45; it’s just
outdone by some of its elders.
The 8-CAT is pure joy to fire.
It’s a beautiful weapon with
the right feel and the right
sound. Take the Holo Sight
for it and use this weapon
to destroy choke points. In
the single-player game and
in multiplayer, this weapon
shows off what a defender
can do. The 8-CAT punches

enough stopping power,

and its ample clip prevents
enemies from easily knowing when to counterattack.
INTRO
001
Don’t try to reload the 8-CAT as often in multiplayer as you do in the campaign. It’s
easy to fall into the pattern of reloading between every skirmish, but that isn’t safe
with this gun. The 8-CAT takes forever to reload, leaving its player exposed for quite
some time. Be certain that you’re safe before initiating this process.
MK3 LLD
BASIC TRAINING 002
The fun thing about the Mk3
LLD is that it can use any type of
attachment. Grab the ARO scope
for even more medium-range
supremacy. Or get the normal
scope and be able to mix it up at
longer range. Or use the silencer
for some assassination work.
This is why it’s nice to pair an 8-CAT gunner with a defensive partner who has a
great burst weapon. A TLD-22 player could watch the 8-CAT person’s back and make
life truly miserable for everyone on the other team.

Truth be told, the last option

There are better tools for the

The WA 2000 has the smallest
clip for a weapon of its type,
but the rifle doesn’t lack for
accuracy or damage. This
weapon is a sidegrade from
the V-TAK. Dedicated snipers

likely to be the deciding
factor between the two.

For players who are fast at switching weapons or who have taken a gadget to allow
two primary weapons, it’s better to have a dedicated sniping rifle and something
more appropriate for close fighting. The Mantis and GF 18 As are good for this. They
compliment the full-on sniper rifles well.

Grenades with a high-fire-rate weapon. Disrupt the targets and then pepper them
with gunfire.
Approaches to major weapon locations, chokepoints, and corners are all ideal for
Proximity Mine deployment. Some players will take Explosive Awareness, which is
critical to helping a team avoid these traps.
CONCUSSION GRENADE
If you’re going to use Proximity Mines, consider going all out. Take the Prox Mines
gadget and Explosives Expert. Combined, these make for a cruel demolitionist.

Good short- or medium-

rush in for a takedown, or
escape entirely. Most human players are smart enough to seek full cover as soon
as a Flash Grenade detonates, even if it hits them. Thus, you won’t get too many free
kills without additional work. Targets will hide and wait for the effect to wear off
before they show themselves.
Use your time wisely. Don’t remain in the same spot doing the same thing as when
the grenade blew up. Sow confusion as quickly as you can to gain the greatest
advantage.
