                                             “Boomshot Grenade Launcher
Boomshot −

A Locust short- to mid-range grenade launcher that can easily take down a target in a single shot. The projectile produces several smaller explosions after the initial blast. But it suffers a slow reload time and should never be used at close range—the force of the explosion may kill you along with the target. Comes loaded with three rounds which do little damage without making direct contact, but a perfect reload fires two rockets at once for a massive explosion.

Frag Grenade −

This explosive attached to a chain can be used both as a projectile and as a melee weapon. Its launch system works similar to a classic bolo, in which you twirl the weapon to build momentum before releasing it. Given the device’s small blast radius and inability to breach an enemy’s cover point, the Frag Grenade demands pinpoint accuracy. Grenades can also be tagged to enemies at close range for an explosive, messy kill. There have been reports of grenades being tagged to walls as improvised trip mines.

Gnasher Shotgun
Gnasher −

A powerful shotgun that’s ideal for close-range combat. Its 8-round capacity may seem limiting, but the force per shot more than makes up for its modest clip size. In tight areas, such as inside buildings, the Gnasher delivers a devastating one-shot kill to almost any enemy within range.

Gorgon Pistol
Gorgon −

A semiautomatic pistol favored by the Locust Kantus. It’s one of the highest-caliber weapons, with a dual clip that squeezes off two rounds simultaneously and makes it extremely lethal, especially at close range. The Gorgon’s power, however, is offset by its small clip and long reload because both barrels must be restocked.

Hammerburst Assault Rifle
Hammerburst −

The Locust counterpoint to the Gears’ Lancer. It lacks the Lancer’s trademark chainsaw, but the semiautomatic Hammerburst is more powerful and accurate and also has limited zoom sight ability. You can fire the Hammerburst faster with rapid trigger pulls; however, firing speed comes at the cost of accuracy because the weapon then kicks like a wild animal.

Hammer of Dawn −

An Imulsion-powered satellite that rains down a devastating particle energy stream. It can wipe out anything from small Locust squads to entire city blocks. However, to align the satellite with its intended target, you must use the handheld laser designator to establish a line-of-sight relationship with the target, often under heavy enemy fire. The hammer carries only three charges; charging it a fourth time will result in self-detonation.

Lancer Assault Rifle
Lancer −

The trademark weapon of the COG military, the Lancer is a fully automatic assault rifle that’s perfect for short- to mid-range combat. Its chainsaw bayonet is a powerful melee weapon that takes out most enemies in a single blow. New uses for the Lancer continue to emerge, with recent reports of “chainsaw duels,” which combine the chainsaw attack with traditional sword fighting. It can also be used to cut a path through overgrown areas.

Long Shot Sniper Rifle
Longshot −

The Longshot is a high-powered, bolt-action sniper rifle with a powerful zoom sight. It can incapacitate an enemy with a single shot, and the zoom attachment provides pinpoint accuracy at long distances—perfect for headshots. But with one-shot rounds, you better make the first shot count. There may not be time for a second.

Ink Grenade −

The Ink Grenade is actually a baby Nemacyst inker attached to a bolo grenade, commonly used by the Locust Kantus. After it explodes, it emits a cloud of noxious gas that blinds and poisons any target within range.

 

Torque Bow −

The Torque Bow fires high-powered explosive-tipped arrows that discharge shortly after contact. Because of the bow’s unique targeting reticule, which maps the arrow’s trajectory, the Torque Bow is one of the most accurate weapons, especially at long distances. This comes with a tradeoff, however, because you must hold the trigger for a short duration before the arrow sticks into surfaces (or foes.) The Torque Bow’s sharp blades also make it an effective melee weapon.

Boltok Pistol
Boltok −

The Boltok is a high-caliber magnum sidearm that fires devastating single blasts. The pistol’s powerful rounds are offset by its small clip and slow reload, but a perfect active reload lets you rearm and fire faster. The Boltok is lightweight and easy to hold with one hand, which makes it, the Snub, and the Gorgon pistols the only weapons you can wield when using an enemy as a shield.

Troika Turret
Troika −

The Troika is a high-powered, turret-mounted Locust machine gun that fires continuous rounds across the battlefield. Specially trained Locust gunners man the Troika and are equipped with unique helmets that accurately target the weapon and also deflect headshots. If you’re in a Troika’s line of fire, take cover immediately. A few direct hits can tear the human body limb from limb. But if you eliminate the Locust gunner, you can turn this powerful weapon against the enemy.

Mortar −

The Mortar is a powerful artillery bomb that rains down on multiple enemies. The Mortar’s hefty size reduces your speed and maneuverability. It’s also highly inaccurate when fired blindly, and you can’t access its targeting system until it’s planted firmly on the ground. However, once it’s equipped, the Mortar fires a bomb that breaks apart midair in a hail of tiny, deadly explosives.

Mulcher −

The Mulcher is similar to its sister weapon, the Locust Troika. Blind firing is wildly inaccurate. For maximum effect, mount the turret to a sturdy surface so you can aim with both hands. The Mulcher overheats after extended use, so fire in bursts to avoid jamming, and active reload to increase cooling.

Scorcher Flamethrower
Scorcher −

The Scorcher Flamethrower is a short- to mid-range weapon that emits a concentrated stream of fire that chars your enemies. The Scorcher also produces a bright flash that temporarily blinds opponents and leaves them vulnerable to a quick flame burst. A perfect active reload shoots flames at even greater distances.”

Snub Pistol
Snub −

The Snub Pistol is a standard-issue, semiautomatic sidearm with a 12-round clip and a long-distance zoom sight for improved accuracy. It’s not the most powerful pistol, but its precision and ease of use make the Snub a valuable backup.
