Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a side-story game in the Metal Gear Solid franchise. Originally imagined as detailing Raiden's actions during the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, it was abandoned by the original developers due to problems with implementing the ambitious sword-cutting mechanics and taken up by Platinum Games, with the plot moved to after MGS4 and the gameplay altered to a more traditional hack-and-slash fighting game in the style of Bayonetta or Devil May Cry.
The following weapons appear in the video game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance:
Overview
Unlike previous Metal Gear titles, Rising is a hack-and-slash action game; while there are some minor stealth elements, the main focus is on combat with melee weapons. For the most part, firearms are restricted to Raiden's enemies; enemy weapons almost always have laser sights to tell the player they are being targeted and allow time to evade. Raiden can, however, hold a limited reserve of weapons; two types of rocket launcher and four types of hand grenade are available.
Pistols
Heckler & Koch Mark 23
In the prologue sequence, Raiden is still a variant of the Metal Gear Solid 4 Raiden model, which has a holstered Heckler & Koch Mark 23 pistol. As before, this pistol is never drawn, and is not present on the later Raiden model. The holster is also seen on the DLC classic Raiden model.
SIG-Sauer P226R
The standard pistol used in the game is a SIG-Sauer P226R. P226s can be seen in the hands of World Marshal police officers in Denver as they attempt to stop Raiden passing a barricade, and one is also held on George by a scientist at the end of the second chapter.
Submachine Guns
TDI Vector
A TDI Vector fitted with an MP5-style curved magazine can be seen on one of the "box soldier" models; it may be used by enemies, though this is not confirmed.
Rifles
FN F2000 Tactical
Customised FN F2000 Tacticals with AR-15-style front sights, AK-style gas blocks and ACOG optics are used by all forces in the game.
Jetstream Sam's sword sheath
The character Jetstream Sam has a unique sword sheath which incorporates an AR15 receiver, with a rod fixed inside the short barrel and a trigger placed at the front of the handguard. "Firing" the weapon allows him to draw his sword extremely quickly.
Launchers
Panzerfaust 3
One of the two useable sub-weapons is a rocket launcher, a Panzerfaust 3 with minor visual alterations. Raiden can carry up to five rounds for this weapon, which he apparently summons from the void when he requires it, using it one-handed with his left hand. Enemies also use Panzerfaust 3s, and are quite happy to launch them even at point-blank range.
FIM-92A Stinger
A "futurised" FIM-92A Stinger called the "homing missile" is available from the first helicopter battle in the first mission, though it is first used by Boris and other Maverick PMC troops in the prologue to shoot at a departing tiltrotor aircraft. The game describes it as using both IR and millimetre wave radar homing, allowing it to bypass flares, though oddly in the prologue the missiles are shown being spoofed by flares. Presumably the large circular radome which replaces the distinctive IFF antenna is some combination of antenna and radar.
Explosives
M67
The M67 hand grenade makes a reappearance in Rising as a subweapon. Although the description implies that it is a new weapon, the icon is similar to the M67.
Mounted Weapons
Browning M2HB
Browning M2HBs are a common sight throughout the campaign; among other places they can be found mounted on Stryker APCs, Grad and Gekko UMGs, and in drone gun rigs. Early footage showed the "Mastiff" enemies equipped with a short-barrelled version, but in the final game the Mastiff instead uses a Mk 19 grenade launcher.
Mk 19 Grenade Launcher
While the "Mastiff" enemies seen in early trailers used short-barrel M2HBs, in the final game they instead use a wrist-mounted Mk 19 grenade launcher.
