(3)Introduction In my FAQ I'm going to give the weapon descriptions as told by the game book. I will tell you my opinion of the gun. Then I will then give you the weapons damage, fire rate, and reload rate. Damage will be scored out of 5. Fire rate and reload rate will be scored out of slow, decent and fast. Also included it where to aim at on your enemies. (4)Weapons ---Monkey Wrench--- "A plumber's best friend, the monkey wrench is surprisingly effective in close combat and it essential for opening manhole covers." My Opinion: Surprisingly the monkey wrench is a powerful weapon. A few swings with this and the Russians will go down. The only downside is that you have to be close to use it. Aim for the enemies chest area. |-----------|-------| |Damage | 4/5 | |Fire Rate | Decent| |Reload Rate| N/A | |Clip Size | N/A | |-----------|-------| ---Revolver--- "This six-shot revolver is an American classic that packs a sizeable wallop. My Opinion: More powerful than the pistol but the revolver lacks in clip size compared to the pistol. I wouldn't recommend this over the pistol due to the clip size. Aim for the enemies chest area. |-----------|-------| |Damage | 3/5 | |Fire Rate | Decent| |Reload Rate| Slow | |Clip Size | 6 | |-----------|-------| ---Pistol--- "The Soviet standard sidearm fires 17 semi-automatic rounds per clip." My Opinion: I prefer the pistol over the revolver due to how much larger a clip it has. The damage is not as good but if you can go for headshots you won't have a problem. Aim for the enemies head. |-----------|-------| |Damage | 2/5 | |Fire Rate | Fast | |Reload Rate| Fast | |Clip Size | 17 | |-----------|-------| ---Shotgun--- "This semi-auto shotgun it a close-range weapon that spreads it's blast over a wide area. The magazine holds 8 shells." My Opinion: The shotgun is powerful at close range. Don't bother using it from far away because you won't hit anything. It can kill adversaries in one hit if your close enough. Just remember, the closer you are the more damage you do. Aim for the enemies chest area. |-----------|-------| |Damage | 4/5 | |Fire Rate | Decent| |Reload Rate| Slow | |Clip Size | 8 | |-----------|-------| ---Assault Rifle--- "The most commonly used rifle in the Red Army. This basic but effective weapon holds 30 shots and does the job in most firefights." My Opinion: The assault rifle used is similar to a modern AK-74, which replaced the AK-47 before the fall of the USSR. You may also notice that the AK-47 looks like the CV-47, the Chinese licensed version of the AK-47. You will be using the assault rifle a lot since that's what most of the Soviet's use during the course of the game. It's a good overall gun to use. Aim for the enemies head. |-----------|-------| |Damage | 4/5 | |Fire Rate | Decent| |Reload Rate| Fast | |Clip Size | 30 | |-----------|-------| ---SMG--- "The sub machine gun used by the Soviet Special Forces fires it's 40 round clip in the blink of an eye. Light and fast, this weapon is inaccurate but devastating. My Opinion: The SMG is a good primary weapon to use if you don't like the assault rifle. Extremely fast and powerful, it also boasts a fairly big clip. However you will have to get close to use it because it is terribly inaccurate. Aim for the enemies chest. |-----------|-------| |Damage | 5/5 | |Fire Rate | Fast | |Reload Rate| Fast | |Clip Size | 40 | |-----------|-------| ---Sniper Rifle--- "Accuracy and power define the 7.62 mm Red Army sniper rifle. This weapon is equipped with a telescopic zoom that can zero in on human targets several blocks away. My Opinion: Find a high vantage point and use the sniper rifles scope to stay out of danger. It's your fault if you miss a shot because the sniper rifle is deadly accurate. Never use it close up during a fire fight and always make sure you have a back up weapon. Aim for the enemies head. |-----------|-------| |Damage | 5/5 | |Fire Rate | Slow | |Reload Rate| Slow | |Clip Size | 7 | |-----------|-------| ---Molotov Cocktail--- "A crude incendiary weapon consisting of a glass bottle filled with flammable liquid, usually gasoline, and a rag stuffed in the mouth of the bottle. The rag is lit before throwing the bottle at the target. The bottle shatters on impact, spilling the burning liquid over the target." My Opinion: Very dangerous, and it can even hurt you if you are caught in the blast radius. Keep your distance and throw it. It's very powerful and will set foe's on fire. Toss a few where enemies are grouped together. If possible get up high before you can throw it since it goes in an arc. Aim for the enemies feet. |-----------|-------| |Damage | 5/5 | |Fire Rate | Decent| |Reload Rate| N/A | |Clip Size | N/A | |-----------|-------| ---Fragmentation Grenade--- "A simple but deadly device, the fragmentation grenade consists of a cast iron ball packed with black gunpowder. A short fuse it activated by pulling the pin before throwing the grenade. The resulting explosion hurls shreds of hot iron in every direction." My Opinion: Equally as deadly as the molotov cocktail. Be sure not to be caught in the blast radius. Anything near it when it explodes will be hit with shrapnel. The fragmentation grenade is even capable of blowing up enemies into the air. As with the Molotov, use the fragmentation grenade on bunched up enemies and get a high vantage point if possible due to arcing when thrown. Aim for the enemies feet. |-----------|-------| |Damage | 5/5 | |Fire Rate | Decent| |Reload Rate| N/A | |Clip Size | N/A | |-----------|-------| ---C4 Plastic Explosives--- "This innocent looking stuff, similar to the appearance of gray modeling clay, packs enough punch to destroy entire buildings. C4 is highly prized and can be hard to obtain." My Opinion: You can't use the C4 when you want to, only on mission objectives you have to blow up. Be sure to be far away when this stuff goes off. If caught in the blast you will take damage or die. |-----------|-------| |Damage | 5/5 | |Fire Rate | N/A | |Reload Rate| N/A | |Clip Size | N/A | |-----------|-------| ---Mounted Machine Gun--- "The Red Army machine gun is a great weapon-if standing behind it. It provides constant long range area fire while partially shielding the operator." My Opinion: Grab this bad boy when you get the chance. There are 2 version of this weapon, mounted and un-mounted. You can find this in a bunker or some of the heavily armored Soviets carry it. Both act the same except one is moveable. The machine gun can inflict heavy damage and has a big clip but is inaccurate and slows you down. Use it to take out groups of enemies. Aim for the enemies chest. |-----------|-------| |Damage | 5/5 | |Fire Rate | Fast | |Reload Rate| Slow | |Clip Size | N/A | |-----------|-------| ---Rocket Launcher--- "The RPG 7V grenade launcher is no peashooter. This unwieldy weapon is heavy, ugly and inaccurate, but it makes up for all it's shortcomings with one redeeming feature: the ability to penetrate armor." My Opinion: Just like the machine gun, pick up the RPG whenever you can. The RPG shoots basically grenades except they are propelled and can go farther than you can throw a grenade. Use it to take out groups of enemies. Aim for the enemies feet due to splash damage. |-----------|-------| |Damage | 5/5 | |Fire Rate | Slow | |Reload Rate| Slow | |Clip Size | 1 | |-----------|-------| (5)Special Thanks - God (For allowing me to write this) - CJAYC (For making Gamefaqs.com) - Electronic Arts (For making Freedom Fighters) - Microsoft (For making Xbox what it is now) - LUE (For supporting me in writing this FAQ.
