Weapons
Close Combat
Close-combat weapons are small, lightweight, silent, and easily
concealed. Their drawbacks are the fact that they are the most
difficult ones to use because you need to get within
arm’s reach of the enemy. Sneaking is necessary
to succeed with this type of weapon.
Handguns
Pistols and revolvers are small, relatively lightweight and easily
concealed. You can kill at a greater distance than the close-
combat weapons but the weapon makes a lot of
noise unless it is silenced. Another great thing
about the guns is that you can shoot two
at a time if you happen to be trapped in
a fierce firefight. You can carry up to 6 pistols
concealed at a time.
Sub-Machine guns (SMG)
Sub-machine guns are medium-sized, concealed weapons. Their size
prevents you from carrying more than 2 concealed at a time.
They fire a lot more bullets that any of the other
weapons (except the minigun), but they are not
as precise.
The high rate of fire can be a drawback
if you do not carry enough ammunition.
Rifles
Rifles are large weapons that
shoots precisely on medium
ranges. They are heavy and cannot be concealed.
Assault rifles are fully automatic if you keep the Fire
button pressed.
Shotguns have a much lower rate of fire and a short range but they are absolutely
devastating at close range.
Sniper Rifles
The sniper rifle is the most accurate and dangerous
weapon. Drawbacks are slow reload time and the
inability to use it at close range.
