Standard Weapons

You have to start somewhere. New X-COM commanders are given access to a small but diverse range of small to heavy firearms. While flawed, every weapon will have a few strengths that can be capitalized on.

Standard firearms are sold on the market and are limited only by how much a commander is willing to spend and how much storage space is remaining. While not the best of the bunch, conventional weapons are certainly not the worst either.


Laser Technology

Laser weapons are a step up from conventional small firearms. They are lighter, faster and considerably more powerful. Their biggest advantage is that they do not need ammunition.

Laser weapons can only be manufactured.


Alien Weapons

Alien weapons are far more powerful than our own and wield terrible destructive capabilities, but we can harness this against the aliens and use their weapons against them.

The majority of all alien weaponry will be captured, but the weapons can also be reproduced in the workshops once they have been researched. However manufacturing ammunition for alien weapons can be costly on elerium, as alien weapons are elerium based.
