Weapon Information
Standard Weapons
Once again, X-COM is supplied with a diverse selection of standard weapons to wield in its war against the watery alien menace. However, unlike the first alien war, the new line of weapons are mainly geared towards fighting underwater.
Dart Gun
Jet Harpoon
Gas Cannon
Hydro-Jet Cannon
Torpedo Launcher
Thermal Tazer
Magna-Blast Grenade
Magna-Pack Explosive
Particle Disturbance Grenade
Dye Grenade
Gauss Technology
The line of weapons X-COM technicians have developed to combat the alien menace offer improved damage over the more conventional harpoon weapons. The earlier models of Gauss weapons offer high capacity ammunition magazines. They work well on land and at sea.
Gauss Pistol
Gauss Rifle
Heavy Gauss
Sonic Technology
The bulk of the weapons used by the alien invaders make use of ultra powerful and highly concentrated sonic waves that literally shatters matter in an instant. They are powered by a Zrbite power source. The amount of damage caused by sonic weapons completely outclasses everything in X-COM's diverse but meager arsenal.
Sonic Pistol
Sonic Blasta Rifle
Sonic Cannon
Sonic Pulser
Disrupter Pulse Launcher
Thermal Shok Launcher
Melee Weapons
The deadly Lobsterman threat was finally countered by a desperate but effective strategy: melee combat with power tools.
Vibroblade
Thermic Lance
Heavy Thermic Lance
Weapons By Ammunition Types
Ammunition types and the weapons that utilise them.
Armor-Piercing
Armor piercing rounds are standard rounds that specialize in piercing enemy armor. These come in the form of darts and shells propelled with compressed gas.
Dart Gun
Jet Harpoon
Gas Cannon
High Explosive
High Explosive (HE) is an area-effecting ammunition. Any unit or object within the blast radius will receive some amount of damage.
Gas Cannon
Hydro-Jet Cannon
Torpedo Launcher
Magna-Blast Grenade
Magna-Pack Explosive
Particle Disturbance Grenade
Phosphor
Also known as Incendiary. Phosphor ammunition creates an area-effect fire. The bonus of this form of ammunition is that it will continue to cause damage per turn until the fire dies out in addition to providing illumination. Phosphor rounds are half as effective underwater as they are on land.
Gas Cannon
Hydro-Jet Cannon
Torpedo Launcher
Gauss
Gauss ammunition fires is a high energy bolt at enemy targets with the same speed in or out of water. Gauss ammunition is relatively cheap high-end ammo and can be produced very quickly.
Gauss Pistol
Gauss Rifle
Heavy Gauss
Sonic
Sonic Ammunition is an alien based technology. It encapsulate a small amount of Zrbite to power the sonic weapons. Scientists are able to easily reverse engineer them for production.
Sonic Pistol
Sonic Blasta Rifle
Sonic Cannon
Stun
Unlike the other forms of ammunition, Stun ammunition doesn't actually inflict damage to its target. Instead, it will cause them to fall unconscious until the stun effect has "worn off".
Thermal Tazer
Thermal Shok Launcher
Drill
The alien based drills carry a chip of Zrbite, which provide a tremendous amount of energy that'll last the operational lifetime of any drill. They do not need any additional ammunition.
Vibroblade
Thermic Lance
Heavy Thermic Lance
