Primary Weapons

SMG

The Submachine Gun can be used by most classes. It does lower damage than assault rifles, has a smaller clip and has more falloff at range, but increases mobility. It also slightly decreases infiltration time for the soldier carrying it.

Using an SMG increases the soldier's Mobility by 3, and reduces enemy detection radius for that soldier by 20%.

Arc Thrower

The Arc Thrower is the secondary weapon of the Assault class. They do no damage, but will stun organic enemies if it hits. Importantly, it has normal range penalties, giving a shotgun equipped Assault an option to use at range.

Perks allow the Arc Thrower to deal armour-ignoring damage to mechanical enemies (MECs, Drones) and reduce their hack defense.
