All of our favorite weapons from Unreal Tournament 2003 are back and better than ever. New weapons have been added and all the old ones have been updated with improved models and graphics.
Sheild Gun
A close-combat weapon that, when used properly, can deal decent amounts of damage. Get up-close to your target and unleash a deadly plasma attack or use the alternate fire mode to generate a personal shield.
Assault Rifle
The basic weapon you always start with. The Assault Rifle doesn't do much damage overall but it's secondary fire mode shoots leathal grenades that cause splash damage and can pierce armour!
Biorifle
A real nasty weapon this one that can be just as deadly to you as your opponents. It shoots globs of green slime that stick to the floor, walls and ceiling before exploding. Anybody that comes in contact with it suffers reasonable damage and you can carpet huge areas with the stuff. Use the alternate fire mode to build up a huge amount of slime and deal huge amounts of damage on a target.
Shock Rifle
A strong weapon when using either fire mode. The primary fire shoots plasma beams at your opponents while the secondary fire shoots slow-travelling balls of plasma that explode on contact with a target. Combine these two, shoot a ball of plasma then ignite it with the primary fire to get an awesome combo attack.
Link Gun
My personal favorite from UT2003, in primary mode it's a rapid fire plasma rifle but in alternate fire it's a whole different animal. Aim at opponents and hit them with a deadly plasma stream, aim at a teammate and the beam will "boost" with your teammate - creating a strong plasma stream. Be careful though, while "boosting" a friend you are unable to defend yourself!
Minigun
A small and portable minigun that deals leathal damage with it's high speed fire mode. The primary fire mode is a very fast projectile weapon but is inaccurate while moving and while attacking at long range. The secondary fire mode is a slower attack that allows for greater accuracy.
Flak Cannon
A very powerful weapon at close range, it will rip your target to shreds with a few accurate blasts. The secondary fire mode launches flak grendades that detonate on impact showering the area with flying shrapnel. Use this too much and the game will call you a "flak monkey".
Rocket Launcher
A slow but powerful weapon. You need to be a pro to hit a moving target with this one because the missles travel so damn slow. Use primary fire to launch a single missle, use secondary to increase the payload and spread your rockets. If you hit primary fire while holding down alternate fire you will fire your rockets in a tight spiral! Very useful against non-moving targets like power generators.
Lightning Gun
A powerful sniper-rifle that shoots bolts of electricity. This weapon is slow reloading but can deal huge amounts of damage, especially if you get a headshot. Use the alternate fire to zoom.
Sniper Rifle
Just like the Lightning Gun but shoots bullets, not electricity.
Ion Painter
A very diffcult weapon to use well, the Ion Painter shoots a targetting beam at your target "painting" them. Keep the beam on the target and an orbital satallite will shoot an ion beam at the painted target.
Mine Layer
A nice addition to the game, this weapon shoots spider-like robots that carry explosives. Primary fire launches the little mines a short distance and they sit and wait for vehicals or personnel to come wandering too close. When a vehical comes close the mines run at them and explode on impact. When a player comes too close on foot the mines leap at their faces and implant a small explosive before scuttling away again. Using the secondary mode you can paint a destination for your mines and they will run to that area and detonate.
AVRiL
A weapon designed for one thing... vehicle destruction. Primary mode launches a rocket and if you are locked on the rocket will track and follow it's target until contact (with the target or a cliff face/wall). The alternate fire allows you to zoom and track your target.
Target Painter
Similar to the Ion Painter and works pretty much in the same way but allowing surface areas to be targetted for carpet bombing. Very powerful, maximum destruction.
Grenade Launcher
The grenade launcher is capable of firing 8 grenades at a time, either leaving for later detonation or shooting directly at a target. Grenades fired at vehicles and infantry will stick to the target until detonated. Shoot grenades with primary fire, use alternate fire to detonate.
Translocator
A device used to transport a player instantly across the map, the use of this "weapon" is limited. Primary fire will launch your translocator or teleport you, secondary will show you a camera view of where the translocator is. Be wary using the camera mode with this though, while using it you are blind to your immediate surroundings!
Redeemer
By far the most powerful weapon in the game, the Redeemer is a mini-nuclear warhead with a very impressive blast radius. Before it reaches it's contact point be sure you are somewhere else. Primary fire lauches the rocket in a straight line whereas alternate fire will let you guide the rocket yourself.
