Weapons (LW2)
Sword
Swords are used only by the Shinobi class.
Combat Knife
The Combat Knife is a melee weapon carried by Gunners.
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.
All SMGs provide 3 mobility and reduced detection radius

Pistol
The pistol is now a utility slot item and can be equipped on any soldier.
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.
Sawed-off Shotgun
The Sawed-off shotgun is the close range secondary weapon of the Ranger class. It can do colossal damage, especially if both barrels are used at once, but has extreme accuracy penalties beyond a few tiles. These shotguns cannot be reloaded.
