This is a just-for-fun page of sorts for a mod I really love: the AMC TC. I've been meaning to do this for the past several months, but only recently have I started working on it. Anyways, here you go.
 Work In Progress This article is still under construction. It may contain factual errors. See User talk:DrDostovei/Sandbox for current discussions. Content is subject to change. |
AMC TC
AMC TC is a free-to-play standalone Duke Nukem 3D total conversion for the PC. It is developed by the AMC TC Developers, a team of freelance modders who have released several mods for the 1996 FPS prior to the development of the TC. The game's first episode was released in 2011, with the second, third, and fourth episodes being released in 2015, 2019, and 2022, respectively.
Overview
The game is set an unspecified amount of time after the events of Duke Nukem 3D. In response to the as-of-yet unexplained disappearance of the Earth Defense Force's top agent, Duke Nukem, a man working for both the EDF and its offense-oriented counterpart, the Earth Attack Force, commissions one of his old friends to put together an elite task force to tackle the most severe threats against Earth, called the AMC Squad. The player can play as one of 10 agents, each with their own abilities and arsenals, and engage in different missions of varying difficulty and fight against several factions inhabiting the game's world.
Each character's arsenal can be customized with different special weapons to allow for different approaches to combating enemies, such as equipping an assault rifle with armor-piercing rounds to fight armored enemies. In addition, the game has a research system where the player can unlock different buffs, ammo types, weapons, and other items to help fight against enemies, and a weapon upgrade system where the player can spend credits on vending machines to upgrade a character's base weaponry.
The following weapons appear in the video game AMC TC:
Handguns
Glock 18
The Glock 18 is James Stanfield's default Slot 2 weapon. It is a decent pistol, with good accuracy, an 18-round magazine and a fast rate of fire, but weak damage. The Glock can be upgraded with an extended magazine (increasing the size to an incorrect 30 rounds), a fire rate mod (giving it a full-auto fire mode), and a mod that increases the Glock's damage, turning it into a powerful machine pistol.
Colt M1911A1
A nickel-plated Colt M1911A1 appears as the "M1911" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for James, replacing his default Glock 18. It has much better stopping power at the cost of a lower rate of fire and a smaller magazine (8 rounds); however, it has the ability to accept silver bullets, which allows the gun to be used against supernatural enemies, such as sorcerers and Lost spirits. Acquiring this gun is a bit esoteric, as the player needs to port a good ending savefile from the author's previous mod (Imagination World 2) to obtain it.
OTs-33 Pernach
The OTs-33 Pernach appears as simply the "OTs-33" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for James. Compared to the Glock 18, the OTs-33 Pernach boasts a larger magazine size of 27 rounds and a faster rate of fire. It can be purchased from the Shopkeeper once the player has rescued Matvei from the bunker in the mission "The Revolution."
FN Five-seveN
The FN Five-seveN appears as the "FN-57" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for James. It boasts a 20-round magazine with armor-piercing rounds and is equipped with a laser-aiming module, which can be toggled with the alt-fire key. It is a good weapon overall, with better damage, better accuracy and the ability to penetrate enemy body armor. It can be purchased from the Shopkeeper for 15k base budget.
Jericho 941
A gold-plated Jericho 941 appears as the "Golden Jericho" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for James. It is unlocked by completing all of Episode 1 on Expert difficulty or higher, then purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 70k base budget. It boasts better damage and accuracy, plus it has the ability to damage all enemy types (including supernatural enemies) with its gold bullets; however, it has a slower rate of fire and a smaller magazine size of 9 rounds.
Walther PPK
The Walther PPK appears as simply the "PPK" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for James. It is equipped with a suppressor and an 8-round magazine, has armor-piercing capability, and is concealable, meaning it will not be taken from the player should they enter areas where they will lose their weapons otherwise. It can be purchased from the Shopkeeper.
Beretta 92F
The Beretta 92F appears as just the "Beretta" and is added in the 10th Anniversary update as a special Slot 2 weapon for James. It is described as being loaded with special armor-piercing rounds, which grants it the ability to penetrate enemy body armor. It has decent accuracy & damage, as well as a correct 15-round magazine capacity. It is found in the Shellshocked mission, in an apartment accessible via a secret teleporter room in the EDF headquarters.
Tokarev TT-30
The Tokarev TT-30 appears as the "TT-30 Tokarev" and is Highwire's default Slot 2 weapon. A good weapon, it boasts decent damage and accuracy, but is hampered by its small magazine of 8 rounds. It can be upgraded with an extended magazine (increasing the size to 20 rounds), a fire rate mod (which somehow turns the pistol into a fully automatic machine pistol), and an accuracy mod.
AMC Auto Mag
The AMC Auto Mag Pistol appears as the "Auto Mag" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for Highwire. It boasts very high stopping power and great accuracy for a pistol, but shares the same rate of fire and magazine size as an nonupgraded Tokarev TT-30. In addition, the pistol's accuracy will falter with rapid shots, thus necessitating a slow but steady fire rate in order to hit distant targets. The weapon's rounds are capable of penetrating enemy body armor, but will bounce off of heavy armor, such as powersuits. It is available by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 20k base budget.
Heckler & Koch VP70M
A modified Heckler & Koch VP70M pistol appears as the "Remote Dart Gun" and serves as the default Slot 7 weapon for Rusty Nails. It fires small high-explosive darts that can be remotely detonated through an unseen mechanism, as well as incendiary darts that emit a ring of fire upon detonation, setting alight anyone unfortunate to be caught in the blast. There is no limit as to how many darts can be set, allowing for crafty players to set traps on unsuspecting enemies.
Sphinx 3000
A pistol based on the Sphinx 3000 pistol appears as the "MS-Corp Pistol" and serves as the default Slot 2 weapon for Mikko Sandt. It is a select-fire machine pistol, capable of semi-automatic and fully automatic fire, and is equipped with a laser aiming module and armor-piercing rounds. It boasts a good rate of fire, accuracy, and armor penetration capability. The pistol can be upgraded with an extended magazine (increasing its size from 20 rounds to 40 rounds), an accuracy mod, and a rate-of-fire mod.
Beretta 93R "Auto 9"
The Beretta 93R "Auto 9" appears as just the "Auto 9" and is Micky Crisp's default Slot 2 weapon. The pistol boasts a decent rate of fire & accuracy, and possesses the ability to fire in 7-round bursts as its alt-fire. The pistol can be upgraded with an accuracy mod and an armor-piercing mod, which grants the weapon improved accuracy and the ability to damage armored targets, respectively.
Beretta Px4 Storm
A gold-plated, modified Beretta Px4 Storm appears as the "Gold Metal Storm" and serves as a special Slot 2 weapon for Micky Crisp. The pistol boasts a decent rate of fire and accuracy, along with decent armor-piercing capability and the ability to fire its entire magazine in one shot (how this is possible with a pistol of conventional design is beyond anyone's imagination). In addition, it also has the ability to damage supernatural enemies, thanks to the gold bullets it fires. The weapon is unlocked by beating Episode 1 on Expert difficulty or higher, then purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 75k base budget.
IMI/Magnum Research Desert Eagle
The Desert Eagle is Bombshell's default Slot 2 weapon. It boasts high damage, good accuracy and a decent rate of fire, and it is equipped with a laser-aiming module for improved accuracy; however, it is hampered by its small magazine of 7 rounds. It currently does not have any upgrades.
Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Schofield
The Smith & Wesson Schofield appears as simply the "Revolver" and serves as the default Slot 2 weapon for Rusty Nails. It possesses good damage, accuracy and rate of fire, and has an alt-fire where Rusty fans the hammer for increased fire rate. It also possesses the shortest reload time of only 1 second, allegedly due to Rusty being so familiar with revolvers that he can reload them by simply flicking them open and then flicking them shut. These attributes make this weapon very powerful to use, especially against single targets. The Smith & Wesson Schofield has only one upgrade, which is an accuracy upgrade which makes the gun suitable for hunting distant targets.
Remington 1858 New Army
The Remington 1858 New Army appears as the "Remington 1858" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for Rusty Nails. It is weaker than the default Revolver, but still possesses good accuracy and rate of fire. To compensate for its weaker damage output, the Remington 1858 New Army has been modified to accept silver cartridges, which gives it the capability to damage supernatural enemies. In addition, the cartridges have limited armor-piercing ability, allowing it to penetrate enemy body armor. The Remington 1858 New Army can be unlocked by defeating Dr. Jekyll in his first phase, then picking up his gun on the podium behind him in his second phase; if the player misses this, the weapon can be found in Rusty's room in the AMC Base after completing the mission "Welcome to Millhaven."
Mateba Autorevolver
A gold-plated Mateba Model 6 Unica revolver appears as the "Gold Magnum" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for Geoffrey. It is incorrectly depicted as a fully automatic weapon, with a bottomless magazine and the ability to fire 3 rounds in a single shotgun-like blast as its alt-fire. Regardless, it possesses the same attribute as other gold-plated weapons, that being the ability to damage all enemy types, including supernatural enemies. It is unlocked by completing Episode 1 on Expert or higher, then purchasing it from the Shopkeeper.
Shotguns
Armsel Protecta
The Armsel Protecta appears just the "Protecta" and is James' default Slot 3 weapon. It boasts a large magazine of 12 shells, decent accuracy, high fire rate, and good damage. However, it is hampered by a slow reloading process where James must load each shell in one at a time (unless the player has equipped the shotgun loading belt, which speeds up the process). The shotgun can also accept alternate ammo types, such as explosive shells. The weapon has only 1 upgrade, which is only available after the player has completed the "Oil Rig" mission; it is a magazine upgrade, which increases the magazine size to 16 shells.
Pancor Jackhammer
The Pancor Jackhammer appears as just the "Jackhammer" and is a special Slot 3 weapon for James. It is a powerful shotgun, with a 10-shell cassette and a high rate of fire, but suffers from heavy recoil. The Jackhammer cannot accept alternate shotgun ammo types due to its cassette-fed design. Unlocking the weapon is the same as the M1911A1: port over a good ending save file from the author's previous mod (Imagination World 2).
Browning Auto-5
The Browning Auto-5 appears as the "Auto 5" and is a special Slot 3 weapon for James. It has a smaller magazine size of 5 shells and a slightly slower rate of fire; however, it boasts the highest accuracy of all of James' shotguns, and can accept alternate shotgun ammo types. The alt-fire even has James aim down the sights of the shotgun. It is found in the mission "Welcome to Millhaven," in a building near the lake in the upper area of the town.
Kel-Tec KSG Tactical
A Kel-Tec KSG Tactical appears as the "KSG-12" and is a special Slot 3 weapon for James. Its twin side-by-side tube magazines are actually functional here, with separate ammo counters for each tube magazine, allowing the player to load different ammo types into the shotgun. In addition to this, the shotgun boasts good accuracy and damage, making it a formidable weapon to use. The KSG Tactical is found in the mission "Island Facility," in a room with heavy machinery and crates; the weapon is locked in a briefcase in a small area surrounded by various tools.
Heckler & Koch CAWS
A gold-plated Heckler & Koch CAWS appears as the "Gold HK CAWS" and is a special Slot 3 weapon for James. It is chambered in specially-made "gold standard" shells which damage all enemy types, including supernatural enemies. It boasts a high rate of fire, good damage, and good accuracy; however, it cannot accept alternate shotgun ammo types. It is unlocked by completing Episode 2 on Expert or higher, then purchasing it from the Shopkeeper.
Remington 870 MCS
The Remington 870 MCS appears as the "R870" and is Highwire's default Slot 3 weapon. It is the most balance of all of Highwire's Slot 3 weapons, with good damage, good accuracy, and the ability to accept alternate ammo types. However, it is hampered by a small magazine size of 5 shells (plus 1 in the chamber) and a slow rate of fire. It only has one upgrade, which increases the magazine size to 7+1 shells.
Saiga-12
A Saiga-12K with a flat dark earth finish, EOTech sight, and Magpul AFG foregrip appears as the "Saiga-12" and is a special Slot 3 weapon for Highwire. This shotgun has a high rate of fire, decent accuracy, and good damage, but can only accept 8-round magazines, which makes it unable to use alternate shotgun ammo types; to compensate, the shotgun has a very fast reload speed of 1 second. Overall, it is useful for either crowd control or eliminating heftier targets. It is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper after the player has rescued Matvei from the bunker in the mission "The Revolution."
Chiappa Triple Threat
A gold-plated Chiappa Triple Threat appears as the "Gold Triple Threat" and is a special Slot 3 weapon for Highwire. It fires specially-made "gold standard" shells which damage all enemy types, including supernatural enemies. It boasts high damage, decent accuracy, and a fast reload time, but it can only hold 3 shells. It is unlocked by completing Episode 2 on Expert or higher, then purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for an astounding 150K base budget.
Double-Barreled Over-Under Shotgun
A double-barreled over-under shotgun resembling a Beretta 682 appears as the "Over-Under Shotgun" and is a special Slot 3 weapon for Rusty Nails. It boasts good damage, decent accuracy, and a fast reload speed, but can only load 2 shells at a time. It can also accept alternate shotgun ammo types, which gives this weapon more versatility compared to his default semi-automatic shotgun. It is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper.
Modified Lever-Action Shotgun
A custom-made gold-plated lever-action shotgun somewhat resembling a Marlin Model 1894 appears as the "Gold Lever-Action" and is a special Slot 3 weapon for Rusty Nails. Like the other gold-plated shotguns, it fires specially-made "gold standard" shells that damage all enemy types. It does not need to be reloaded, boasts a decent fire rate and good accuracy, but it deals moderate damage. It is unlocked by completing Episode 2 on Expert or higher, then purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 150K base budget.
Standard Manufacturing DP-12
The Standard Manufacturing DP-12 appears as the "DP-12 Shotgun" and is the default Slot 3 weapon for Kagura. It is depicted as firing both of its barrels simultaneously and is loaded with box magazines where the loading/ejection port system is. The description of the weapon states that it fires silver shotgun pellets instead of regular buckshot, which grants it the capability to damage supernatural enemies. The DP-12 has good damage and accuracy, and can be upgraded by a blacksmith to fire incendiary buckshot for 2 magic orbs while on Elysion, which allows the weapon to damage organic and chitinous enemies.
UTAS UTS-15
The UTAS UTS-15 appears as just the "UTS-15" and is the default Slot 3 weapon for Jane Ashford. Similar to James' KSG, its twin side-by-side tube magazines are functional here, complete with separate ammo counters for each magazine tube, allowing the player to load in different ammunition types into the shotgun. Aside from that, the gun boasts good damage & accuracy, which makes this gun very versatile to use. Currently, there are no upgrades available for the UTS-15.
AA-12
The AA-12 appears as Bombshell's default Slot 3 weapon. It is depicted with an unusable laser-aiming module and flashlight attachment. The AA-12 boasts a very high fire rate, good damage, and decent accuracy; however, because of its fire rate, the AA-12 burns through ammo very quickly. Currently, it is only available in the mission "Shellshocked", on the bar in the starting area.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP7A1
The Heckler & Koch MP7A1 appears as the "HK MP7" and is the default Slot 4 weapon for James. It fires armor-piercing rounds, which allows it to damage enemy body armor, and is equipped with a laser aiming module. It boasts a high rate of fire, good damage, and decent accuracy. The MP7A1 can be upgraded with an extended magazine (increasing its size from an incorrect 30 rounds to 40 rounds) and a suppressor, which turns the MP7 into a viable weapon for stealth operations.
Heckler & Koch MP5SD5
The Heckler & Koch MP5SD5 appears as the "MP5-SD" and is a special Slot 4 weapon for James. Its integral suppressor makes it a viable choice for stealth operations; however, it does not fire armor-piercing rounds, instead it fires subsonic rounds. It is equipped with EOTech sight and an M203 grenade launcher, which allows it to accept alternate 40mm cased grenade ammunition. The MP5SD5 is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 20K base budget.
"PP-19E Bizon"
A submachine gun resembling a futuristic PP-19 Bizon-2 appears as the "PP-19E Bizon" and is a special Slot 4 weapon for James. It is described as an advanced submachine gun that fires armor-piercing lasers, and possesses an alt-fire that fires a powerful beam capable of melting heavy armor. It possesses a high fire rate, decent damage & accuracy, and a large battery size of 64 shots. It is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 20K base budget after the player has rescued Matvei in the mission "The Revolution."
Heckler & Koch UMP45
The Heckler & Koch UMP45 appears as simply the "UMP45" and is a special Slot 4 weapon for James. It possesses a decent rate of fire, good accuracy and damage, but is hampered by heavy recoil. The UMP45 can accept silver bullets, which grants it the ability to damage supernatural enemies. This weapon is unlocked in the second level of the mission "Far Mountain Reaches," in a gated-off section of a tunnel near the end of the level.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
The Heckler & Koch MP5K appears as just the "MP5K" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for Zaxtor Znort. It possesses a high rate of fire and decent accuracy, but is set back by its 30-round magazine and weak damage output. However, compared to Zaxtor's other Slot 2 weapons, the MP5K can hold much more ammunition in reserve, which makes it a decent alternative for handling large crowds of weak enemies. It is unlocked in the village portion of the Sanctuary level in the mission "Gaza Pyramids."
PP-2000
The PP-2000 appears as a special Slot 2 weapon for Highwire. It possesses a high rate of fire, but is marred by its paltry 20-round magazine and weak damage output. It is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 15K base budget after the player has rescued Matvei in the mission "The Revolution."
CZ vz. 61 E
A gold-plated CZ vz. 61 E variant appears as the "Gold Skorpion" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for Highwire. It possesses a high rate of fire and the capability to damage all enemy types, but weak damage output and a small 20-round magazine; in essence, the Skorpion is a reskin of the PP-2000 with the "gold standard" rounds of all the other gold weapons included. It is unlocked by completing Episode 1 on Expert or higher, then purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 75K base budget.
Uzi
A full-sized Uzi appears as the default Slot 4 weapon for Sang. It possesses a high rate of fire, an incorrect 30 rounds in a 32-round magazine, and low damage, but the rounds can penetrate enemy body armor. The Uzi can be upgraded with an accuracy mod, an extended magazine (increasing its size to 60 rounds in a 40-round magazine), and a suppressor. For some weird reason, Sang holds the single Uzi sideways "gangsta style," but when dual-wielding this weapon, he holds both Uzis upright.
PPSh-41
A PPSh-41 with a 71-round drum magazine appears as a special Slot 4 weapon for Sang. It possesses a very high rate of fire, but low accuracy and damage, which makes this useful for only culling large crowds of weak enemies. It is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 15K base budget after the player has rescued Matvei in the mission "The Revolution."
SR-2M Veresk
An SR-2M Veresk appears as simply the "SR-2M" and is a special Slot 4 weapon for Sang. It is described as being chambered for SP-10 rounds, a variant of the 9x21 Gyurza ammunition that has armor-piercing capability; this grants the weapon the ability to damage armored enemies. It possesses a high rate of fire and decent damage, but has low accuracy unless the player uses the red dot sight. The SR-2M Veresk can be unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 20K base budget after the player has rescued Matvei in the mission "The Revolution."
TDI Vector
The TDI Vector appears as the "KRISS Vector" and is a special Slot 4 weapon for Sang. It is depicted with an attached red dot sight, which can be zoomed in via the alt-fire function. The weapon can also use alternate .45 ACP ammunition, such as silver bullets and incendiary rounds, granting it extra utility as an anti-supernatural and anti-chitinous weapon. The Vector possesses a decent rate of fire and damage output, but is held back by its small magazine size of 25 rounds. The TDI Vector can be found in the mission "Serpent Canyon," in a cave near the crashed EDF Panama, provided the player has a jetpack available.
Mini Uzi
A Mini Uzi appears under the incorrect "Micro-Uzi" moniker and is a special Slot 2 weapon for Rusty Nails. It is the complete opposite of his revolvers in that it possesses a high rate of fire and a 25-round magazine, but it has weak damage output. This weapon can be used as a suitable backup weapon for his Slot 4 weapons. The Mini Uzi is unlocked by finding it in a secret area in the mission "Welcome to Millhaven."
CZN-M22
The CZN-M22 submachine gun from Ghost in the Shell (1995) appears under its actual name as a Slot 7 weapon for Kagura Takahashi. It is described as being able to load "high-mac" ammunition; this ammunition turns the weapon into a fully automatic carbine with higher damage output at the cost of severely increased recoil, but Kagura can mitigate the recoil via the weapon's alt-fire function. The CZN-M22 features decent damage & accuracy, as well as a fast rate of fire, and it can be upgraded with an accuracy mod and an extended magazine.
M1928 Thompson
An M1928 Thompson submachine gun appears as the "Tommy Gun" and is a Slot 0 temporary weapon. It is incorrectly depicted with a bottomless magazine, which allows it to fire continuously without the need to reload. It possesses a high rate of fire and the ability to accept silver bullets, which makes it ideal for both crowd control and damaging supernatural enemies. The weapon can be unlocked in the mission "Welcome to Millhaven," in the police station; it can be subsequently found in the mission "For Providence" as well as a rare drop from black-robed cultists.
MAC-10
The MAC-10 submachine gun appears as a Slot 0 temporary weapon. It is depicted only in pairs and incorrectly with bottomless magazines, which allows them to fire continuously without the need to reload. Despite its description stating that it fires .45 ACP rounds, the MAC-10s will not accept silver bullets, which makes them incapable of damaging supernatural targets. The MAC-10s have decent damage, accuracy and fire rate, but lack armor-piercing capability. The MAC-10s are first found in the mission "Big Trouble in China," on the roof of a subway train; they can also be dropped by dead Triad members.
FN P90 TR
The FN P90 TR appears as just the "FN P90" and is a temporary weapon. It is the standard issue weapon of rank-and-file AMC agents, and is capable of piercing enemy body armor. It has a 50-round magazine, a Sightmark Sure Shot reflex sight, a fast rate of fire, and decent damage & accuracy. The P90 TR is dropped by AMC agents on death, making this a common weapon.

Angstadt Arms UDP-9
The Angstadt Arms UDP-9 appears as the "UDP-45" and is a temporary weapon. It is depicted as a newer variant that is chambered for .45 ACP rounds, which allows it to accept and use alternate .45 ACP ammunition such as silver bullets and incendiary rounds; in addition, it comes with an attached Sightmark Sure Shot reflex sight, which can be zoomed in via the weapon's alt-fire function. The weapon possesses decent damage output and accuracy, as well as a fast rate of fire, but can burn through its 25-round magazines quickly. The UDP-45 is found in the mission "Darrow Lake," in a small cliffside village outside a grotto.
Assault Rifles/Battle Rifles
Heckler & Koch XM8
The Heckler & Koch XM8 carbine appears in two forms, one as the "XM8 Laser Rifle" and one as the "AP-AR".
"XM8 Laser Rifle"
The "XM8 Laser Rifle" is James' default Slot 7 weapon. As its name states, it fires powerful laser beams that penetrate flesh, but the beams falter against enemy armor. However, it can load armor-piercing slugs as its alternate ammunition, which grants it the ability to penetrate enemy armor. It comes equipped with a laser aiming module and an ammo counter in place of the sight.
"AP-AR"
The "AP-AR" (short for "Armour-Piercing Assault Rifle") is Micky Crisp's default Slot 4 weapon. As its name states, it fires armor-piercing rounds that penetrate both enemy body armor and heavy armor. It boasts a fast rate of fire and decent accuracy, but deals moderate damage. It comes equipped with a reflex sight and M203 grenade launcher, so the player can zoom in for more accurate shots (at the cost of fire rate) and fire 40mm cased grenades, respectively. It has two upgrades: an accuracy upgrade and a drum magazine upgrade (increasing its size to 80 rounds).
Steyr AUG A1
A Steyr AUG A1 appears as the "Steyr AUG" and is James' default Slot 8 weapon. It comes equipped with a 30-round magazine and has a usable integrated scope, which allows the weapon to be used as a quick sniping option should the player not have a sniper rifle on hand. It has decent accuracy & damage, a high fire rate, and armor-piercing capability, but burns through ammo if hip-fired. Available upgrades for this weapon are an extended magazine (which increases the weapon's magazine size to 100 rounds) and an improved foregrip, which mitigates the accuracy penalty when firing from the hip. A good all-rounder weapon to use.
M4A1 Carbine
The M4A1 Carbine appears in the game in 5 different forms: one as the incorrectly-named "M16", one as the "American M4", one under its real name, one as the "M4-15", and one as the "Auto Rifle".
"M16"
The "M16" is a temporary weapon, and can incorrectly fit 40 rounds in a 30-round magazine and is equipped with an M203 40mm grenade launcher. It is acquired early on via either the Basic Training course in the weapons training room, or in the Megabase mission in a storage room on a crate. It is also dropped by EDF soldiers & EAF troopers, making it a common temporary weapon to use. It is a decent all-around weapon, with decent damage, armor-piercing rounds and the ability to equip alternate 40mm grenade ammo.
"American M4"
The "American M4" is the default Slot 4 weapon of Bombshell, and is basically the "M16" temporary weapon with an American flag wrapped around the carry handle, in reference to the M16A1 from the early builds of Duke Nukem Forever. It has the same stats as the "M16".
Colt M4A1
The M4A1 Carbine is James' default Slot 0 weapon, and comes equipped with an underbarrel Knight's Armament Masterkey shotgun (incorrectly referred to as a Mossberg 500). Unlike the "M16" and Bombshell's "American M4", it correctly holds 30 rounds. The Masterkey can accept alternate shotgun ammunition, such as "magnum buck" shells that deal more damage & "flechette" shells that pierce enemy armor. The weapon can be upgraded with a 100-round drum magazine and, if the player has completed the Oil Rig mission, a semi-auto mode for the Masterkey, allowing for constant fire with less time spent on reloading the weapon.
"M4-15"
The "M4-15" is a special Slot 8 weapon for James. It is a customized M4A1 carbine chambered for .300 AAC Blackout rounds and is outfitted with a suppressor, laser-aiming module, and red dot sight. It features a steady rate of fire, good damage and accuracy, and great armor-piercing capability, making it very handy for stealth operations. It is found in a secret area in the mission "Big Trouble in China," behind a gate.
"M4A1 Wraith"
The "M4A1 Wraith" is a special Slot 4 weapon for Kagura. It is depicted in an ornate red-and-silver design, and is described as a fusion of human weaponry and Shadow Realm magic, which somehow changes the ammunition into magical incendiary bullets. Regardless, this weapon is fairly powerful, with a fast rate of fire, good accuracy and damage output. The weapon can be found in the mission "Cave Diving in the Sky," in a cave containing a portal that can only be accessed by Kagura.
Z-M LR300ML
The Z-M LR-300ML appears as the "LR-300" and is a special Slot 8 weapon for James. It comes equipped with an M203 40mm grenade launcher, red dot sight, laser-aiming module, and 60-round quad-stacked magazines. It possesses a high rate of fire, good accuracy and damage, and armor-piercing capability, which makes this a good weapon for going up against virtually every enemy type in the game. It is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper. James' sprites depict him wielding this weapon, which possibly makes it his weapon of choice.
Heckler & Koch G36K
The Heckler & Koch G36K appears in 2 different forms, one as the "G36" and one as the "Gold Autorifle".
"G36"
The "G36" is a special Slot 8 weapon for James. It is chambered for hollow-point rounds, and incorrectly mounts an M203 grenade launcher. It deals heavy damage toward unarmored targets, but falters against enemy body armor, which necessitates headshots or grenades. The red dot sight can be used to attack distant targets. The G36 can be found in a secret area in the underwater portion of the Catacombs level in the mission "Gaza Pyramids."
"Gold Autorifle"
The "Gold Autorifle" is a special Slot 2 weapon for Zaxtor Znort. It fires gold bullets from a bottomless magazine that damages all enemy types, including supernatural enemies. It possesses decent accuracy, a fast fire rate, and manageable recoil; however, it is weaker than the default Auto Rifle and lacks an underbarrel grenade launcher, though the player can use the red dot sight to attack distant targets. The weapon is unlocked by completing all of Episode 1 on Expert or higher, then purchasing it from the Shopkeeper.
AN-94
The AN-94 is a special Slot 0 weapon for James. It is equipped with a GP-30 grenade launcher and Kobra red dot sight. The AN-94 has a unique function when aiming down the sight, where the rifle switches to a 2-round burst fire mode, which makes this useful for sniping distant targets. The rifle possesses good damage, accuracy, and rate of fire, plus virtually nonexistent recoil; this makes the weapon a good all-rounder for fighting enemies. The AN-94 is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 25k base budget, provided the player has rescued Matvei from the bunker in the mission "The Revolution."
Silver Shadow Gilboa Snake
The Silver Shadow Gilboa Snake appears as the "Gilboa AR" and is a special Slot 0 weapon for James. It comes with an attached EOTech sight and M203 grenade launcher. The Gilboa Snake features excellent armor-piercing capability, able to penetrate even heavy armor, and the grenade launcher is able to accept alternate ammo types. It possesses good damage & accuracy and a decent rate of fire, but it also has heavy recoil and fires 2 rounds per shot, due to its unique double-barreled design. The Gilboa Snake is unlocked by purchasing it from the gun store in Garmid for an astounding 150k base budget; however, if the player trades a rare item to the store owner, the gun will be discounted to 45k base budget.
Colt M16A2
The Colt M16A2 with a heat shield and M203 grenade launcher appears as a special Slot 4 weapon for Highwire. It is incorrectly depicted as a fully automatic assault rifle, which is indicative of the M16A3. Despite this inaccuracy, the M16A2 is a good all-around rifle, with a steady rate of fire, decent accuracy, and good damage. It is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 20K base budget.
AKM
The AKM is Highwire's default Slot 4 weapon. A powerful assault rifle with an attached GP-25 grenade launcher, the rifle possesses good damage, decent armor-piercing capability and accuracy, and a short reload time. It can be upgraded to equip an accuracy mod, a 100-round drum magazine, and a red dot sight.
Pribor-3B
A Pribor-3B appears as a special Slot 4 weapon for Highwire. It is depicted with an underbarrel missile launcher attachment that fires "Zilla Industries" missiles (a reference to Shadow Warrior), which includes "depleted uranium pellet" anti-tank missiles and atomic bombs. In addition, it possesses armor-piercing capability, a high rate of fire, and good damage & accuracy; however, the weapon chews through ammunition quickly, in spite of its 90-round magazine capacity. The Pribor-3B is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 25K base budget if the player has rescued Matvei in the mission "The Revolution."
FN F2000
The FN F2000 appears as a special Slot 4 weapon for Sang. The weapon's integrated scope is usable via pressing the alt-fire key, and it comes with an attached 40mm grenade launcher and armor-piercing capability. The description of the F2000 erroneously mentions that it comes equipped with a suppressor, when in the game, it lacks one. The weapon is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper.
AK-47
An AK-47 in black polymer furniture appears as a special Slot 4 weapon for Sang. It is outfitted with a red dot sight, a GP-30 underbarrel grenade launcher, and a "battle scanner" resembling the heartbeat sensor from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2; this battle scanner depicts the amount of ammunition left in the magazine and how much health an enemy has left when aimed at them. The AK-47 itself boasts good damage, decent armor-piercing capability, and decent accuracy. It can be unlocked by purchasing it from the gun store in Garmid for an absurd price; however, it can be sold at a more manageable price if the player trades in a bottle cap to the store owner.
FG 42
A late-war model of the FG 42 appears as the "FG-42" and is the default Slot 4 weapon for Rusty Nails. It is equipped with a bayonet that can be used via the alt-fire key, which damages unarmored enemies significantly but fares poorly against body armor. It has a steady rate of fire, good accuracy and damage, but has a short magazine size of 20 rounds. The weapon can be upgraded to have improved accuracy & rate of fire, as well as a belt-feed mechanism in place of the magazine well, which eliminates the need to reload the weapon. Interestingly enough, if the player has researched the Silver Knife project, they can change the bayonet to a silver bayonet; this bayonet will deal less damage to regular enemies, but it deals more damage to supernatural enemies.
SRSS Bulldog 762
An SRSS BullDog 762 rifle appears as the "AutoM Shotgun" and is a special Slot 3 weapon for Rusty Nails. It is incorrectly depicted as a fully automatic shotgun, with a high rate of fire and outstanding damage output; however, the weapon is held back by mediocre accuracy and a small magazine size of 7 shells. The weapon can be unlocked by purchasing it from a gun store in Garmid for an astounding 170K base budget; however, if the player provides the owner with a rare bottlecap, he will reduce the price to a more manageable 33K base budget.
M41A Pulse Rifle
The M41A Pulse Rifle from the movie Aliens appears as the "M41C" and is a special Slot 4 weapon for Rusty Nails. In place of the underbarrel Remington 870 "grenade launcher" is a flamethrower that uses the same ammunition as Rusty's pulse rifle. It is a balanced weapon, boasting good accuracy, manageable recoil, high rate of fire, and a large magazine capacity of 99 rounds, but it is the weakest of Rusty's Slot 4 weapons. The weapon is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 20K base budget.
AK-74
The AK-74 appears as a special Slot 4 weapon for Rusty Nails. It is equipped with a GP-30 grenade launcher, a red dot sight, and hollow-point rounds, and boasts good accuracy & damage, as well as a steady fire rate; however, it is only effective against unarmored and chitinous enemies. The alt-fire for this weapon has the player aim down the red dot sight, which allows the player to hit distant targets. The weapon can be unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper after the player has rescued Matvei in the bunker in the mission "The Revolution."
Crye Associates MR-C
The Crye Associates MR-C appears as the "Nail Rifle" and is the default Slot 0 weapon of Rusty Nails. It is depicted as a functional rifle that fires armor-piercing nails, which makes it effective against armored opponents. The AGL 40mm grenade launcher is also function, able to fire any and all types of 40mm cased grenade ammunition. Aside from that, the weapon is depicted with an attached EOTech sight, which can be aimed through via the alt-fire. The MR-C can be upgraded with a box magazine, which increases the magazine size from 40 rounds to 100 rounds. The rifle also synergizes with the Book of Nails artifact, which grants it the ability to damage supernatural enemies.
FAMAS F1
The FAMAS F1 appears as just the "FAMAS" and is the default Slot 4 weapon of Jane Ashford. It is depicted with an attached foregrip and scope, which can be zoomed in via the alt-fire function. The rifle possesses a fast rate of fire and good damage, but lacks armor-piercing capability, therefore necessitating headshots against armored foes.
Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR
The Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR (Enhanced Battle Rifle) appears as the "MK 14 EBR" and is the default Slot 8 weapon of Jane Ashford. It is depicted with a vertical foregrip attachment and an EOTech HWS EXPS3 holosight, the latter of which can be zoomed in via the alt-fire function. It is a powerful weapon, capable of penetrating body armor and heavy armor, and has a decent fire rate and accuracy.
AK-103
The AK-103 appears as a temporary weapon. It is equipped with a GP-30 grenade launcher and an EOTech sight. The weapon possesses decent accuracy, a steady rate of fire, and good damage, and can pierce enemy body armor. The weapon is first found in the mission "The Revolution," in the room where Highwire and his squad recuperate; it is also dropped from dark blue-robed cultists.
FN FAL G
The FN FAL G appears as the "FN FAL" and is a temporary weapon. It is depicted as a fully automatic weapon, which would be true of military FALs, but not for the G Series FAL, which is semi-automatic in reality. Regardless, the weapon possesses a steady rate of fire, good damage & accuracy, and decent armor-piercing capability; however, it is limited by its 20-round magazine, necessitating short bursts or single shots against enemies. The FN FAL G is first located in the mission "The Revolution," in an alley near the storage room; it is also the weapon of choice of purple-robed cultists.
Machine Guns
RPK
The RPK appears in two forms; one under its real name and one as the "RPKM".
RPK
The RPK appears as Highwire's default Slot 0 weapon. It is equipped with a 75-round drum magazine and a bipod, which can be deployed on some surfaces to allow the player to lay down suppressing fire. The weapon has a high rate of fire, decent damage & accuracy, and a fast reload time, thus it allows for constant fire on large groups of enemies. Overall, the RPK is a great weapon for close-range combat and crowd control.
"RPKM"
The "RPKM" appears as a special Slot 0 weapon for Highwire. It appears to be a modernized variant of the RPK, with black polymer furniture and with the bipod removed. This weapon is lighter compared to the RPK and uses 40-round magazines, which allows for faster reloads. Statistically, it is similar to the default RPK, as it has the same damage, fire rate, and accuracy; however, it can be used reliably for hit-and-run attacks, owing to its lighter frame. Accuracy penalties are more severe with this weapon due to the lack of a bipod, therefore it cannot be mounted on surfaces. It is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper after the player rescues Matvei in the bunker in the mission "The Revolution."
PKM
The PKM machine gun appears as a special Slot 0 weapon for Highwire. It is equipped with a 100-round box magazine and a bipod, which, combined with its high rate of fire, allows for more constant fire on large groups of enemies. The weapon has better damage and armor-piercing capability compared to the RPK; however, it has worse accuracy, recoil, and a longer reload time. This weapon is therefore better suited for mounting and laying suppressing fire on enemies. The PKM is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper after the player has rescued Matvei in the bunker in the mission "The Revolution."
M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle
The M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle appears as the "M1918 BAR" and is a special Slot 4 weapon for Sang. It possesses great damage, good accuracy, and a slow but steady rate of fire, which makes it a great weapon for picking off distant targets and large foes. The weapon is unlocked by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 20K base budget.
M60
The M60 machine gun appears as just the "M60" and is a temporary weapon. It comes equipped with a usable bipod, which allows the player to mount it on surfaces and lay down suppressing fire on large groups of enemies. The M60 has a very fast rate of fire, good damage, and decent accuracy; however, ammo is limited for this weapon. The weapon is first found in the mission "City Under Siege," in the bar that has been converted into an EDF outpost.
Sniper Rifles
SVD Dragunov
The SVD Dragunov appears under the incorrect name of the "Dragunov SVDS" and is Highwire's default Slot 7 weapon. It is a powerful sniper rifle, capable of killing unarmored targets with a single shot; however, it is inaccurate when not using the scope. It also deals a decent amount of damage toward armored targets. It features a 10-round magazine and manageable recoil, but it lacks upgrades.
Heckler & Koch PSG-1
The Heckler & Koch PSG-1 appears as the default Slot 8 weapon for Kagura. It is depicted with an attached suppressor, which, despite what one would think, is not as useful for quietly picking off enemies (this is largely due to the limitations of the Build engine). It features great accuracy and damage, as well as a good rate of fire, but it is limited by its 5-round magazine; however, the weapon can be upgraded with an extended magazine, which doubles its capacity.
Barrett M82A1M
The Barrett M82A1M appears as the "Kuwabara Barrett" and is a special Slot 8 weapon for Kagura. It is depicted with an ornate gold-and-blue design, and is described as a fusion of human weaponry and Shadow Realm magic; this magic somehow infuses the weapon's ammunition with electricity, allowing the weapon to stun enemies hit by the rounds. In spite of this weird ability, the Kuwabara Barrett features astounding damage output and great accuracy, but has a slower fire rate than the PSG-1. The weapon can be found in the mission "Supply Run," in a pocket realm hidden underneath the Sanctuary of Ideyr.
Barrett M99
The Barrett M99 appears as the "M99 Barrett" and is Bombshell's default Slot 8 weapon. It is a very powerful rifle, capable of killing a Battlelord in a few hits; however, the bolt must be racked after each shot. It also has great accuracy when zoomed in, but ammo for it is very rare. Currently, there are no upgrades for the weapon.
Barrett XM500
The Barrett XM500 appears under the incorrect "M82A1" name and is a temporary weapon. It is equipped with a bipod, which allows it to be mounted on surfaces for more accurate shooting. It boasts high damage and a steady rate of fire, but has massive recoil and must be zoomed in to land accurate shots. The XM500 first appears in the "Megabase" mission, in a building with the VR terminal.
Launchers
Milkor MGL
The Milkor Mark 14 MGL appears as the "Rocket-Grenade Launcher" and is James' default Slot 5 weapon. Its ammunition is somehow depicted as being capable of acting as both rocket-propelled grenades and as bouncy "smart" grenades that only explode on contact with an enemy, otherwise exploding after bouncing a few times. It also has an unusually fast reload time, depicted as James emptying the whole cylinder first and then adding in 6 grenades at the same time afterward. It has a fast rate of fire, great damage, and decent accuracy, which makes it a great weapon against big enemies or enemy crowds.
Brügger & Thomet GL-06
The Brügger & Thomet GL-06 appears as the "40mm Launcher" and is a special Slot 5 weapon for James. Compared to his default Mark 14 MGL, it is a single-shot weapon that trades in magazine capacity and crowd control capability for precision and the ability to use alternate 40mm cased grenade ammunition, including the experimental plasma and "MIA" shells. The weapon is found in the mission "Caligula Station," in a room near the station exit.
RG-6 Grenade Launcher
The RG-6 grenade launcher appears as Highwire's default Slot 8 weapon. Like the Milkor Mark 14, the RG-6 fires unrealistic "smart" grenades that explode on contact with an enemy, otherwise exploding after bouncing a few times. It is a powerful weapon, capable of killing a Battlelord in a few direct hits. Aside from great damage, it also has a fast rate of fire; however, it has one of the slowest reload times in the game, as each grenade must be loaded in individually. Regardless, the RG-6 is great for destroying large targets or culling large crowds.
XM25
The Heckler & Koch XM25 appears as the "XM-25" and is Bombshell's default Slot 5 weapon. It is inaccurately depicted as a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, as its grenades fly in a straight line rather than in an arc; it is also depicted without a scope. Regardless, it is a powerful launcher, able to clear out whole rooms of enemies and larger foes in a few direct hits. It also boasts a fast reload speed and rate of fire, which makes it an excellent weapon for engaging against powerful enemies or groups.
RPG-7
The RPG-7 appears under the misnomer of the "Missile Launcher" and is Highwire's default Slot 5 weapon. It is depicted with an unusable scope, and fires powerful rockets that have outstanding armor-piercing capability, able to destroy tanks and heavy robosuits; the rockets also bear the fastest projectile speed and second-largest blast radius in the game. The weapon is best suited for single-target DPS rather than room clearing, however, as the RG-6 fulfills the role of crowd control in Highwire's arsenal.
FIM-92 Stinger
The FIM-92 Stinger appears as just the "Stinger" and is Kagura's default Slot 5 weapon. It is a fairly strong missile launcher, almost on par with Highwire's RPG-7, and has the ability to detonate missiles in the air, which gives it extra utility in clearing out crowds and airborne enemies.
Denel PAW-20
The Denel PAW-20 appears as just the "PAW-20" and is the default Slot 5 weapon of Jane Ashford. Its rounds ignore enemy body armor, which makes this weapon suitable for dealing with lightly-armored enemies such as Pig Cops and mercenary riflemen. However, it struggles against fully-armored enemies and supernatural threats, limiting its potential. It does have a generous magazine size of 7 rounds. Currently, the weapon has no available upgrades.
M203
The M203 grenade launcher appears as an attachment for several weapons in the game, including two of the M4A1 variants, James' MP5SD5, LR300, and G36K, and Highwire's M16A2. It fires 40mm cased grenades, of which there's a few variants: the standard 40mm explosive grenades; 40mm high explosive grenades that release several incendiary projectiles upon explosion; 40mm plasma grenades that fire armor-piercing projectiles; and 40mm "MIA" grenades that fire projectiles that, when it hits an enemy, makes that enemy disappear for a brief period of time (and unlock research projects if they hit certain enemies for the first time with the projectile).
GP-25
The GP-25 grenade launcher appears as an attachment for James' AN-94 assault rifle. It accepts 40mm VOG-25 grenades; custom-made 40mm armor-piercing slugs; 40mm "tesla" rounds that fire electric projectiles; and 40mm "cryo" grenades that fire projectiles that freeze enemies on contact.
GP-30
The GP-30 grenade launcher appears as an attachment for Sang's AK-47, Highwire's AKM, Rusty's AK-74, and the AK-103. It accepts the same 40mm caseless grenade types as the GP-25.
Grenades
RGD-5 Hand Grenade
The RGD-5 hand grenade appears as Highwire's Slot 6 weapon. The grenade is depicted as an unrealistic "smart" grenade, in that it explodes on contact with an enemy; otherwise, it explodes after bouncing a few times. Purple-suited Triad members also throw these grenades in addition to their flashbang grenades.
