UFO: Afterlight
|
UFO: Afterlight is the third and final installment in the UFO series.
Set on a Mars Base, the game involves the player managing a convoy on Mars while dealing with the local hostile Martians and other threats as they try to terraform the planet into something humanity can live on.
Contray to previous games which had a diverse selection of real world firearms, especially in comparison to X-com/X-com-likes, UFO: Afterlight features barely any real world firearms, the player only starts with 3 (A Pistol, Revolver and Assault Rifle and only one of each) traditional firearms and must develop fictional highly customizable firearms early on reverse-enginnered from them in order to arm themselves against the alien threats as the Mars base is mostly cut off from earth, relegating these weapons to only being used in the early game without cheats as there is no way to obtain more copies of the weapon or even ammunition.
The game's customization system is somewhat lacking for "Old Earth" weaponry, they can be either fitted with a Suppressor or an fictional "Accelerator" attachment that increases range and damage.
Walther P22
A Walther P22 appears as the initially available handgun to the player in what may be it's first appearance in a video game, Ute Heinemann is stated to have used it during the events of Ufo: Aftermath (though it was not available to the player in that game) and kept it on the trip to Mars. it can be modified with a Suppressor or Accelerator, it was brought to Mars by one of the player characters.
"Dan Wesson 722-VH6"
The only fictonal "Old Earth" Firearm, the "Dan Wesson" (Called internally in the console "AncientColt", implying that despite the name sounding like a riff on Smith and Wesson, the weapon may actually be based on a Colt Revolver) appears in-game, it is chambered in .22 LR like the Walther P22 but they use different ammo types. (Magazines of .22 for the Walther and a Ammo Box for the Dan Wesson)
The weapon's description doesn't provide much insight, merely stating that it was found in one of the supply crates.
Unlike the other Old Earth firearms, it cannot be modified at all.
FN F2000
The FN F2000 appears as the singular Assault Rifle available to the player from the start, as the colonists brought a single one with them from earth, the Icon and Weapon 3D model have different colour schemes.
