Tranq Sniper Rifle

  1. Location: The Lone Commander, Sub Order 101.

Shortly after your arrival in Australia, you’ll gain access to an exceptionally helpful and sleep-inducing sniper rifle. However, to obtain the blueprints required for its manufacturing, there’s a straightforward task that needs completing for The Lone Commander, who resides close to the government base.

The Tranq Sniper Rifle offers an efficient way to neutralize adversaries from great distances. Unfortunately, it lacks a silencer completely. Yet, selecting the appropriate ambush spot can let you swiftly incapacitate alarmed foes before they approach you closely. It’s beneficial to employ the Tranq Sniper Rifle at the start of an engagement to quickly subdue several enemies. However, do keep in mind that this weapon is effective only on human targets, and armored adversaries may require more than one shot for elimination.

Machine Gun [MP Bullets]

  1. Location: Reward for finishing Order 24.

Upon linking the Pizza Chef to the Chiral Network, you’ll unlock the universal weapon. Additionally, fostering a bond with him up to a three-star level will grant you blueprints for an advanced variant of the rifle (Level 2).

This Machine Gun boasts exceptional precision over medium distances, a feature that, coupled with its high damage output and large ammunition capacity, makes it an excellent choice for extended, grueling conflicts, such as those against bosses. Its ability to harm any kind of enemy gives it value even in uncertain situations. While Sam’s movement speed is somewhat restricted when using the Machine Gun, the trade-off for versatility and efficiency is often worthwhile.

Bola Stun Gun

  1. Location: The Government’s Base and Inventor (level 4).

This tool is ideal for those who prefer a stealthy style in combat. It discreetly launches a rope that binds adversaries, avoiding alerting other enemies. It’s effective at moderate distances and manages BTs particularly well.

You’ll get an enhanced version of the standard launcher as a reward for establishing a connection with the Inventor on the island that scores four stars. This upgrade is beneficial because the Bola Stun Gun becomes more powerful against human adversaries, and additionally, it inflicts damage on mechs, making it a versatile weapon to use in various situations.

Grenade Launcher

  1. Location: Reward for completing Order 34.

Instead of describing the previous weapon as its opposite, let’s say “This weapon is a loud launcher that fires explosive ammunition.” It will be beneficial in various conflicts, but we highly recommend using it particularly against BTs, particularly the larger ones.

Grenades inflict substantial harm when they strike, making them valuable in confrontations with more formidable foes. But remember to keep a safe distance, as the blast could cause injury to you and the person handling it.

Blood Boomerang

  1. Location: Reward for completing Order 16.

In any given situation, the most effective tool is the one readily available, and in this case, you can almost always depend on a boomerang. Empowered by Sam’s blood, it serves as an efficient means to dispatch lone BT quietly. Upon being thrown, it returns straight back into the hands of the main character, ensuring that you will essentially never lack ammunition… unless you don’t carry enough blood bags along.
