Weapon Types

Semi-Automatic

Beam Spray Gun

Beam Spray guns are Federation only weapons. Despite all of Zeon's moaning and groaning about them, they are the equivalent of shotguns. Deadly in close quarters, beam spray guns shoot 5 bullets per shot so the damage number is multiplied by 5. If all 5 shots hit, there is a good chance of knocking down an airborne target. They are also capable of staggering opponents preventing them from reacting properly.

Improved Beam Spray Gun

Support Beam Spray Gun

Shotguns for mobile suits that cost less than 240. They generally just deal less damage than the Shotgun, but mostly the same attributes apply.

Mega Particle Cannon

Beam Sniper Rifle

Semi-automatic sniper rifle which doesn't do as much damage as standard sniper rifles. However, this sniper rifle behaves more like a long distance beam rifle. The beams have larger hitboxes and behave more predictably making this the ideal rifle for the sniper who would rather be near the front lines playing a hit and run style.

Beam Cannon

3-Point Burst

Fully Automatic

Beam Pistol

Dual-wield Short Beam Rifle

Assault Beam Rifle Ver. 1

Assault Beam Rifle Ver. 2

Mega Particle Cannon

Irradiation Beam Sniper Rifle

Fires a steady beam which does a constant stream of damage resulting in a very high DPS. However, the precise aiming required to track a moving target combined with the fact that this rifle can only be used while crouching makes it impractical as a primary weapon. It does however, boast the longest range in the game making it ideal for shooting at enemy snipers, drop ships, turrets, and battleships from a safe distance. Combined with the Range Extension passive, the Type-L can almost cover a quarter of the map.

Chargeable

Charge Beam Rifle

Improved Charge Beam Rifle

Charge Mega Particle Cannon Ver. 1

Charge Mega Particle Cannon Ver. 2

Charge Beam Sniper Rifle

The one-shot one-kill rifle. Power is quadrupled when fully charged and will kill most suits in one shot. Reload is low and charge times are long, but this rifle is the gold standard for sniping.
