Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

Certain weapons, including SMGs, Carbines and most Rifles, can be steadied. Soldiers wielding such a weapon can perform a new action: <strong>Steady Weapon</strong>. This action ends the soldier's turn, and grants a +20 aim bonus to the next shot, which is lost when the soldier moves or switches weapon. Basically, the <strong>Steady Weapon</strong> action allows soldiers to perform a carefully aimed shot over two turns. When using perks that allow multiple shots, such as [b]Double Tap[/b] and [b]Light 'Em Up[/b], the bonus only applies to the first shot. Note that weapons that can only be fired as the first action, such as Sniper Rifles, can still be steadied as the second action. Finally, the aim bonus also applies to firing rockets, reducing their scatter.

===Ballistic===

:''Main article: [[Weapons (Long War)#Weapon Tiers|Weapon Tiers]]
−
These are the basic weapons you start with. While they are okay to begin with, they won't be up to par for very long, and should quickly be replaced by either Beam Laser or Gauss weapons.
 
  
−
Ballistic weapons use the vanilla Exalt weapon models, and are still dropped by non-elite Exalt soldiers, though since Xcom starts with an unlimited supply of these weapons, such drops cannot be sold, are of no use.
+
Long War has 5 weapon tiers available - [[Weapons (Long War)#Conventional/Ballistic|Conventional/Ballistic]], [[Weapons (Long War)#Beam Lasers|Beam Laser]], [[Weapons (Long War)#Gauss|Gauss]], [[Weapons (Long War)#Pulse Lasers|Pulse Laser]] and [[Weapons (Long War)#Plasma|Plasma]].
  
−
===Beam Laser===
+
==Soldier weapon types==
−
Beam Lasers are the first available weapon upgrades, accessible quite early in the research tree, and relatively cheap to produce. Beam Lasers carry an inherent +6 bonus to aim, making them excellent weapons for lower ranked troops. They also deal slightly more damage than Ballistic Weapons, though that won't be enough for the long run, and should eventually be replaced by either Gauss or Pulse Laser weapons. Note that the aim bonus does not apply to Rocket scatter.
+
===SMGs===
−
 
+
SMGs (Submachine Guns) are the lightest available weapon types and grant a +3 mobility bonus, but deal the least amount of damage, have the lowest chance to crit, and have small magazines. Unlike Carbines, SMGs do not grant an aim bonus. Their high mobility but low damage makes them very useful for classes that rely more on their abilities than their primary weapons, such as Engineers, Medics and Rocketeers. While Assaults and Scouts could benefit from the increased mobility, they generally require a solid weapon that packs a punch, like a Shotgun or any Rifle.
−
Laser weapons use the vanilla Exalt weapon models, and are still dropped by elite Exalt soldiers, though these weapons are rigged to explode when the operator dies, so an Arc Thrower is required to capture these weapons intact.
 
−
 
 
−
===Gauss===
 
−
Gauss weapons are the next available weapon upgrades. While Gauss weapons fire projectiles, like Ballistic weapons do, these weapons are enhanced by Elerium powered magnetic accelerators and fire Alloy based ammunition, providing a much stronger punch than the more conventional ballistic weapons. Gauss weapons negate 0.34 damage reduction (0.68 with the Quenchguns foundry project), basically providing a 1 in 3 chance (2 in 3 chance with the Quenchguns foundry project) to deal 1 additional damage against targets with any form of damage reduction.
 
−
 
 
−
Gauss weapons also hold 1 more ammunition than other weapons of the same type, with the exception of the Gauss Long Rifle, which is the sniper rifle of the Gauss tier. The Gauss Long Rifle only holds 1 ammunition (2 with the Ammo Conservation foundry project), but grants the HEAT Ammo perk to the sniper wielding the gun (a perk not otherwise available to this class), which increases damage against robotic units by 50%.
 
−
 
 
−
While it is possible to skip Beam Lasers and go straight for Gauss weapons, this is certainly not without risk. It takes longer to research and produce Gauss weapons than Beam Lasers, causing a longer period during which you only have the conventional Ballistic weapons at your disposal. Gauss weapons use the vanilla Xcom ballistic weapon models.
 
−
 
 
−
===Pulse Laser===
 
−
Pulse Lasers are refined and enhanced laser weapons, providing another step up in terms of firepower, though they are quite expensive to produce. Pulse Lasers carry an inherent +8 bonus to crit chance.
 
−
 
 
−
Pulse Lasers require Beam Lasers to be researched, but do not require Gauss weapons to be researched, allowing you to skip Gauss weapons to head straight for Pulse Lasers, though of course Pulse Lasers take longer to research and produce than Gauss weapons. Pulse weapons use the vanilla Xcom laser weapon models.
 
−
 
 
−
===Plasma===
 
−
Plasma weapons are the most advanced weapons available, dealing the most damage of all weapons. These are the weapons that the aliens use themselves. Unfortunately, they are also the most expensive and hardest to obtain. Unlike vanilla, where you could either craft plasma weapons yourself, or obtain them by stunning aliens, Long War requires a combination of both. Stunning the correct aliens provides you with alien weapons, which are required in both the research and production of your own plasma weapons.
 
−
 
 
−
Unlike the vanilla game, it is practically impossible in Long War to jump straight from Ballistic weapons to Plasma weapons, as the amount of time that is required to research these weapons and gather the necessary materials is just way too long to handle with Ballistic weapons. However, there is no specific requirement for either Gauss weapons or Pulse Lasers, allowing you to focus on one of those and skip the other entirely, before moving on to Plasma weapons.
 
−
 
 
−
Plasma weapons carry a special bonus that is unique to each type of weapon, making them more varied and unique than other weapon tiers. Plasma weapons are also slightly more restrictive to certain classes than other weapon tiers. Plasma weapons use the vanilla plasma weapon models.

===Carbines===
−
Carbines are lighter versions of Assault Rifles, though not as light as SMGs. They grant a +1 mobility bonus and a +6 aim bonus, but deal less damage and have a smaller chance to crit than Assault Rifles, though more than SMGs. Like Laser Weapons, Carbines are excellent for lower ranked troops, though more experienced troops should switch to other weapons for more damage. Note that the aim bonus does not apply to Rocket scatter.

Battle Rifles are heavier versions of Assault Rifles. They deal more damage than Assault Rifles, but incur a -1 penalty to mobility, and a -10 aim penalty when using the second (gold) action to shoot. They are best used by soldiers that can offset the aim when needing to fire as the second action in a pinch.

They deal more damage than Assault Rifles, but incur a -1 penalty to mobility, and a -10 aim penalty when shooting after a costly action. They are best used by soldiers that can offset the aim when needing to fire as the second action in a pinch.

===Shotguns===

Shotguns are similar to the vanilla Shotguns, providing high damage and a high chance to crit, though they suffer more from damage reduction than other weapons. While very accurate at short range, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range. They fit best in the hands of mobile soldiers, such as Assaults and Scouts, that can move up close and fire.

Shotguns are similar to the vanilla Shotguns, providing high damage and a high chance to crit, though they suffer more from damage reduction than other weapons. Shotguns incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, but to offset that, they gain twice the aim bonus at close range, making them viable in close quarters even without flanking, and surprisingly effective against airborne targets that cannot be flanked while flying. They fit best in the hands of mobile soldiers, such as Assaults and Scouts, that can move up close and fire.

Arc Rifles are a special type of rifles that can be used to disable enemies through Disabling Shot, at the regular 2-turn cooldown. Arc Rifles suffer from very low damage and ammunition. They can be useful early on when raiding small UFOs, to keep enemies disabled, providing enough chances to stun them with Arc Throwers.

The Arc Rifle is a special type of rifle that can be used to disable enemies through Disabling Shot, at the regular 2-turn cooldown. It has very low damage, designed to whittle down an already wounded target to increase stun chance without the risk of killing it, and has very limited ammunition. It can be useful early on when raiding small UFOs, to keep enemies disabled, providing enough chances to stun them with Arc Thrower.

===Marksman Rifles===

Marksman rifles are smaller versions of sniper rifles that can also only be used by the Sniper and Scout classes. They have longer range than most weapons, but considerably shorter than sniper rifles nonetheless can be fired after moving.  Like sniper rifles, marksman rifles have hefty accuracy penalties when used at short range. Marksman rifles have the same base damage as sniper rifles, but considerably lower crit chance. Marksman rifles can fire reaction shots up to their maximum range, and with Precision Shot they have unlimited range.<br>
+
Marksman Rifles are lighter versions of Sniper Rifles, restricted in use to Scouts and Snipers. Like Sniper Rifles, Marksman Rifles incur aim penalties at close range but perform well at long range. In the hands of a Scout with the Marksman's Scope or a Sniper, they can fire beyond visual range, assuming a squadmate can spot the target, though only up to 20% further, whereas Sniper Rifles have unlimited range.
−
Marksman Rifles are better suited to close-quarters maps where mobility is essential.<br>

Unlike Sniper Rifles, Marksman Rifles can be fired after moving by soldiers without the Snapshot perk, and can fire beyond visual range with overwatch shots. Lastly, Marksman Rifles have a slightly smaller chance to crit than Sniper Rifles.

===Sniper Rifles===
−
Sniper Rifles are mostly identical to their vanilla counterparts and can only be used by Snipers. They have very long range (double the range of vanilla, making it functionally infinite), but can only be fired if the user has not taken a costly action, including reloading, unless they have Snap Shot training. Long War sniper rifles have higher penalties when used at short range than vanilla sniper rifles. Sniper rifles can only overwatch fire up to visual range, so consider steadying the weapon instead to end a turn without targets (especially if you don't have snapshot training).
+
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Like in vanilla, Sniper Rifles incur aim penalties at close range but perform well at long range. Their maximum range has been increased from vanilla, causing it to practically be infinite, as long as a squadmate can spot the target. However, overwatch shots do not benefit from Squadsight, and can only fire up to the visual range.

===SAW===
+
Sniper Rifles cannot be fired directly after moving or performing other costly actions, such as reloading, unless the soldier has the Snapshot perk. However, these weapons can be steadied after moving, providing a bonus on the first shot during the next round. Lastly, unlike the Marksman Rifles, Sniper Rifles incur a small penalty to mobility.
−
SAW-type weapons are the closest equivalent to vanilla LMGs in Long War. They can only be used by the Gunner class. SAWs have larger magazines and higher damage than assault rifles but confer a mobility penalty and can't be steadied. They allow faster movement than LMGs, but have less ammo and deal less damage. Suppressing a target with a SAW grants the Opportunist perk for any reaction fire triggered by enemy movement

===LMG===
+
{|class="wikitable" width="100%"
−
LMG-type weapons are larger versions of SAWs and are also only usable by the Gunner class. LMGs carry a mobility penalty and can only fire if the user has not moved, but in return they have even larger magazines and even higher damage than SAWs. LMGs also have a slightly longer range than most weapons and confer the Squadsight perk on the user so they can make use of the extra range. When an LMG is used to suppress, the reaction shot taken if the target moves suffers no aim penalty and can crit. LMGs can only overwatch fire up to visual range.<br>
 
−
LMGs are ideal for heavy defensive situations where the Gunner can situate themselves securely and guard a given area using normal and reaction fire.

==='''Rocket Launchers'''===

===SAWs===
−
Sometimes you just have to make a good first-time impression. Sometimes you just happen to not have the right key for a door. Sometimes you just want to give those aliens a running start on their way back - do not fret, Xcom have some portable rocket launchers for you!<br>
+
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are similar to the vanilla LMGs, and are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility and cannot be steadied. When suppressing a target with a SAW or LMG, the Gunner gains the benefits of the Opportunist perk to reaction fire triggered by the target's movement vs the now exposed target - ignoring the cover the target left from.
  
−
Rockets are fairly simple to use - pick your ability, aim and fire. There is always some guaranteed scatter which is limited by the soldier's Aim and Abilities. While mostly used by Rocketeers, Engineers also have the ability at later stages of the game to carry a rocket launcher. Carrying one forfeits your sidearm. For more information regarding rockets read below. 
+
Unlike the larger LMGs, SAWs can be fired directly after moving or performing other costly actions, such as reloading. SAWs cannot fire at targets beyond visual range.

They are high damage and have extended range equal to marksman rifles and LMGs, but do not confer the squadsight perk, so only MEC classes that have squadsight can use the extra range. Even MECs with squadsight can only overwatch fire up to visual range.

==='''MEC Secondary Weapons'''===
+
===LMGs===
 +
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are the larger version of SAWs, also exclusively restricted to Gunners, dealing even more damage and carrying even more ammunition. LMGs can fire up to 20% beyond visual range, and grant the Squadsight perk to the Gunner, allowing all Gunners to benefit from this extra range, though overwatch shots are still restricted to visual range. When suppressing a target with a SAW or LMG, the Gunner gains the benefits of the Opportunist perk to reaction fire triggered by the target's movement vs the now exposed target - ignoring the cover the target left from.
  
−
With each upgrade of the MEC suit the number secondary weapon slots increases. As such, they can play a vital role in area control, squad support or neutralizing targets. Be advised that unlike vanilla in Long War you have to build the systems yourself and they do cost a lot of meld.
+
LMGs cannot be fired directly after moving or performing other costly actions, such as reloading, and since Gunners do not have access to the Snapshot perk, they cannot overcome this downside. LMGs also cannot be steadied, forcing the Gunner into a turret like role, where any movement basically consumes the Gunner's entire turn.

==='''SHIV Turrets'''===
+
==MEC and SHIV weapon types==
−
Similar to the SAW but considerably more powerful, these heavy and expensive guns are the only weapons that the SHIV can use. While they suffer from the low base aim of all SHIV units, they can shred through enemies at close range, restrict enemy movement options when in overwatch mode thanks to certain equipment, and can deal massive damage to mechanized forces when equipped with HEAT ammo.
+
===MEC primary weapons===
−
{| class="wikitable" width="90%"
+
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (Long War)|MEC Troopers]]. They deal high damage, even more than Shotguns and LMGs. MEC Troopers with the Squadsight perk can fire up to 20% beyond visual range, though overwatch shots are still restricted to visual range.

== Steadying ==
+
===SHIV weapons===
−
Many weapons have an extra action available: Steady Weapon. This is a standard action, which will end the turn when used, which grants +20 aim for the next shot. The bonus is discarded if the soldier moves or switches weapon. This essentially allows a soldier to fire a carefully aimed shot over two turns. The use of perks such as '''Light 'Em Up''' and '''Double Tap''' only apply the bonus to the first shot taken. Note that sniper rifles can be steadied after moving, even if the operator cannot fire them. Steady Weapon's Aim bonus also applies to fired rockets, reducing rocket scatter.
+
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (Long War)|SHIV units]]. They deal high damage, just as much as the MEC primary weapons, but suffer from the low base aim that all SHIV units share. However, the SHIVs modular design allows them to enhance the weapon with a variety of perks, allowing them to perform key roles in the right situation, such as using HEAT Ammo against robotic targets.

== Explosives ==
+
{|class="wikitable" width="100%"
−
In Long War explosives no longer do fixed damage to all targets in their radius. The further a target is from the center of the blast, the less damage it will take. This also applies to cover and cover in general is a little tougher than in vanilla.

This behaviour can be 'reverted' to the original mechanics by taking the '''Tandem Warheads''' perk, which causes the perkholder's explosives do to full damage across their entire blast radius. The perk is normally available to [[Engineer (Long War)|Engineer]]s, [[Rocketeer (Long War)|Rocketeer]]s, and [[Archer (Long War)|Archer MEC]]s; it can sometimes be obtained on other classes via the ''Training Roulette'' Second Wave option.

Long War uses a revamped system for rocket accuracy. Aim is used when firing rockets to determine the chance of them landing on target, rather than the fixed 90% chance in vanilla. Rather than the vanilla behavior of a missed rocket veering wildly off course, Long War rockets never "miss" but will veer off course a random amount based on the soldier's Aim, with higher Aim giving less scatter. Lower range means less scatter, and the soldier achieving 120 Aim yields no scatter at any range. Rockets can also be fired after moving, but with increased scatter and reduced range.  Rockets can not change height through scatter.

The hit chance shown while aiming is not a literal % hit chance, nor is it the maximum scatter distance. "Scatter" instead indicates the standard deviation on the X and Y axis. You can expect 68% of your rockets to hit within the standard deviation, 95% to hit within 2 times the standard deviation, and 99.7% to hit within 3 times the standard deviation.  Rockets can exceed even this degree of deviation, but the chance is negligible.

Soldiers Weapons Long War.png

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

Certain weapons, including SMGs, Carbines and most Rifles, can be steadied. Soldiers wielding such a weapon can perform a new action: Steady Weapon. This action ends the soldier's turn, and grants a +20 aim bonus to the next shot, which is lost when the soldier moves or switches weapon. Basically, the Steady Weapon action allows soldiers to perform a carefully aimed shot over two turns. When using perks that allow multiple shots, such as Double Tap and Light 'Em Up, the bonus only applies to the first shot. Note that weapons that can only be fired as the first action, such as Sniper Rifles, can still be steadied as the second action. Finally, the aim bonus also applies to firing rockets, reducing their scatter.

Weapon tiers

Main article: Weapon Tiers

Long War has 5 weapon tiers available - Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser and Plasma.

Soldier weapon types

SMGs

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are the lightest available weapon types and grant a +3 mobility bonus, but deal the least amount of damage, have the lowest chance to crit, and have small magazines. Unlike Carbines, SMGs do not grant an aim bonus. Their high mobility but low damage makes them very useful for classes that rely more on their abilities than their primary weapons, such as Engineers, Medics and Rocketeers. While Assaults and Scouts could benefit from the increased mobility, they generally require a solid weapon that packs a punch, like a Shotgun or any Rifle.

Carbines

Carbines are lighter versions of Assault Rifles, though not as light as SMGs. They grant a +1 mobility bonus and a +6 aim bonus, but deal less damage and have a smaller chance to crit than Assault Rifles, though not as small as SMGs. Like Laser Weapons, Carbines are excellent for lower ranked troops, though more experienced troops should switch to other weapons for more damage. Note that the aim bonus does not apply to Rocket scatter.

Assault Rifles

Assault Rifles are the standard rifle, similar to the vanilla Rifles, providing a decent balance of mobility, accuracy and firepower.

Battle Rifles

Battle Rifles (or heavy rifles) are heavier versions of Assault Rifles. They deal more damage than Assault Rifles, but incur a -1 penalty to mobility, and a -10 aim penalty when shooting after a costly action. They are best used by soldiers that can offset the aim when needing to fire as the second action in a pinch.

Shotguns

Shotguns are similar to the vanilla Shotguns, providing high damage and a high chance to crit, though they suffer more from damage reduction than other weapons. Shotguns incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, but to offset that, they gain twice the aim bonus at close range, making them viable in close quarters even without flanking, and surprisingly effective against airborne targets that cannot be flanked while flying. They fit best in the hands of mobile soldiers, such as Assaults and Scouts, that can move up close and fire.

The Arc Rifle is a special type of rifle that can be used to disable enemies through Disabling Shot, at the regular 2-turn cooldown. It has very low damage, designed to whittle down an already wounded target to increase stun chance without the risk of killing it, and has very limited ammunition. It can be useful early on when raiding small UFOs, to keep enemies disabled, providing enough chances to stun them with Arc Thrower.

Marksman Rifles

Marksman Rifles are lighter versions of Sniper Rifles, restricted in use to Scouts and Snipers. Like Sniper Rifles, Marksman Rifles incur aim penalties at close range but perform well at long range. In the hands of a Scout with the Marksman's Scope or a Sniper, they can fire beyond visual range, assuming a squadmate can spot the target, though only up to 20% further, whereas Sniper Rifles have unlimited range.

Unlike Sniper Rifles, Marksman Rifles can be fired after moving by soldiers without the Snapshot perk, and can fire beyond visual range with overwatch shots. Lastly, Marksman Rifles have a slightly smaller chance to crit than Sniper Rifles.

Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Like in vanilla, Sniper Rifles incur aim penalties at close range but perform well at long range. Their maximum range has been increased from vanilla, causing it to practically be infinite, as long as a squadmate can spot the target. However, overwatch shots do not benefit from Squadsight, and can only fire up to the visual range.

Sniper Rifles cannot be fired directly after moving or performing other costly actions, such as reloading, unless the soldier has the Snapshot perk. However, these weapons can be steadied after moving, providing a bonus on the first shot during the next round. Lastly, unlike the Marksman Rifles, Sniper Rifles incur a small penalty to mobility.

SAWs

SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are similar to the vanilla LMGs, and are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility and cannot be steadied. When suppressing a target with a SAW or LMG, the Gunner gains the benefits of the Opportunist perk to reaction fire triggered by the target's movement vs the now exposed target - ignoring the cover the target left from.

Unlike the larger LMGs, SAWs can be fired directly after moving or performing other costly actions, such as reloading. SAWs cannot fire at targets beyond visual range.

LMGs

LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are the larger version of SAWs, also exclusively restricted to Gunners, dealing even more damage and carrying even more ammunition. LMGs can fire up to 20% beyond visual range, and grant the Squadsight perk to the Gunner, allowing all Gunners to benefit from this extra range, though overwatch shots are still restricted to visual range. When suppressing a target with a SAW or LMG, the Gunner gains the benefits of the Opportunist perk to reaction fire triggered by the target's movement vs the now exposed target - ignoring the cover the target left from.

LMGs cannot be fired directly after moving or performing other costly actions, such as reloading, and since Gunners do not have access to the Snapshot perk, they cannot overcome this downside. LMGs also cannot be steadied, forcing the Gunner into a turret like role, where any movement basically consumes the Gunner's entire turn.

MEC and SHIV weapon types

MEC primary weapons

MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to MEC Troopers. They deal high damage, even more than Shotguns and LMGs. MEC Troopers with the Squadsight perk can fire up to 20% beyond visual range, though overwatch shots are still restricted to visual range.

SHIV weapons

SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to SHIV units. They deal high damage, just as much as the MEC primary weapons, but suffer from the low base aim that all SHIV units share. However, the SHIVs modular design allows them to enhance the weapon with a variety of perks, allowing them to perform key roles in the right situation, such as using HEAT Ammo against robotic targets.
