===[[Reconstructor]]=== | |||
A weapon used specifically in multiplayer, the Reconstructor is a very powerful addition to your arsenal.

===[[Gauss Rifle]]=== | |||
This is a portable version of the EDF’s lethal Gauss Turret. It fires magnetic projectiles at high speeds using a network of electromagnetic coils. Suffice to say, there’s a lot of heady science involved. The part you need to be worried about is that it fires quickly and efficiently. This baby has enough power to blow a hole through a wall, so keep your head down. | |||

[[Image:Arcwelder.jpg|350px|right|thumb|Weapon of the Week]] | |||
===[[Arc Welder]]=== | |||
The Arc Welder is useful in taking out enemies at short range. It lets out an electrical burst that can jump to multiple targets, stunning them and eventually killing them. It’ll also electrocute anyone inside a vehicle, which makes attacks on convoys a lot easier. You’ll have to be close to use this. | |||
==Properties== | |||
*'''Ammo/Clip Size:''' 200 and 300(if upgraded) | |||
*'''Primary Fire:''' Arcs on to skin and metal | |||

[[Image:Proxmines.jpg|350px|right|thumb|Weapon of the Week]] | |||
===[[Proximity Mines (RF:G)|Proximity Mine]]=== | |||
Sticking a Remote Charge on enemies or vehicles can be difficult, so the guerrillas have rigged up some Proximity Mines for you. These are more sensitive, so they’ll have to be placed directly on the ground. Be careful where you place them, the proximity sensor has a hard time judging friends and foes. | |||
==Properties== | |||
*'''Ammo/Clip Size:''' Unknown | |||
*'''Primary Fire:''' Set mine onto ground beneath you | |||
*'''Alternate Fire:''' Unknown | |||
*'''Pros:''' Proximity activated explostion | |||

===[[Remote Mining Charge]]=== | |||
Remote Charges will stick to any surface and are great for setting traps. You can set multiple charges and they’ll explode in the order placed once you hit the detonator. Don’t forget where each one was placed, because standing near one when it goes off will end your fun real quick! Try attaching these to multiple stress points for larger amounts of destruction. | |||
==Properties== | |||

===[[Pistol (RF:G)|Pistol]]=== | |||
Pistols are the basic EDF sidearm. They’re small and accurate, though only against a single target. Pistols don’t have the stopping power of some of the heavier EDF weapons, but they’ll still do the job. Look for this weapon in multiplayer as a quick secondary attack weapon. | |||
==Properties== | |||
*'''Ammo/Clip Size:''' 16 | |||
*'''Primary Fire:''' Semi-automatic bullet | |||
*'''Alternate Fire:''' Horizontal swing | |||

===[[Grinder]]=== | |||
The Grinder fires razor discs at high velocity. Another weapon created by the Red Faction from salvaged parts, the motor needs to charge briefly before it’ll shoot, so take that into account. The disks are deadly against EDF soldiers or individual combatants in multiplayer, but won’t cause much damage to structures, vehicles, or objects. | |||
==Properties== | |||
*'''Ammo/Clip Size:''' 6 | |||
*'''Primary Fire:''' Abrasive bandsaw disk | |||

===[[Thermobaric Rocket Launcher]]=== | |||
The original launcher design has been vastly improved with the Thermobaric Rocket Launcher. The range is decreased, but you can detonate the rockets in mid-air and the explosion is huge. It should help bring down large targets with ease. | |||
==Properties== | |||
*'''Ammo/Clip Size:''' 1 | |||
*'''Primary Fire:''' Thermobaric rocket | |||
*'''Alternate Fire:''' Uppercut | |||
*'''Pros:''' Huge radius of damage allowing for easy building destruction and easier multi target killing | |||
