Tribes 2 |
Blaster
A simple coherent-pulse energy carbine, the blaster draws power from
the user's energy cell, providing limitless ammunition. Its high rate
of fire and long range make up for the relatively small damage each
energy projectile delivers. The blaster is unaffected by water -
blaster projectiles maintain velocity, range, and damage despite being
fired under or into water.
|
|
Chain Gun
The chaingun churns out explosive micro-flechettes in a conical
pattern and can quickly chew up a target at short range. At longer
range, however, the weapon loses much of its effectiveness.
|
|
Plasma Gun
Spitting out superheated balls of plasma that explode on contact, the
"plascannon" is capable of immolating a target in one shot. A
versatile weapon, it is useful at both close and medium range, as well
as either indoors or outdoors. Its explosive charges deal damage in a
radius around the target.
|
|
Laser Rifle
The laser rifle (aka longrifle) is a deadly sniper's weapon that, like
the blaster, feeds off an armor's energy supply. It has almost
unlimited range and strikes instantly. The amount of damage dealt is
proportional to the amount of energy stored in the armor's power cell,
so if used faster than it recharges, it become far less effective. The
more energy discharged with a shot, the more damage the target
suffers. A complex and power-intensive weapon, it can only be used by
a tribesman in light armor carrying an energy pack.
|
|
Spinfusor
The spinfusor (also known as the Stormhammer) fires a high-explosive
disc-shaped charge over an almost unlimited range. Its rate of fire is
average among tribal weapons, as is the disk's velocity. The disk
explodes at the point of impact and damages anything within the
explosion's radius.
|
|
Grenade Launcher
The grenade launcher lobs grenades much farther than warriors can
throw them by hand, and each explosive round does damage in a radius.
Rounds take a second or two to arm, and thus may be bounced around
corners or over hilltops. Once the grenade has armed itself, it
explodes on contact.
|
|
Shock Lance
Our melee weapon. This unusual weapon is used in close quarters to
deliver a massive electrical shock to an enemy, and can only affect an
enemy at point-blank range. Precise placement is critical. Unless the
user succeeds in striking the more thinly shielded rear of a target
armor, the weapon does significantly less damage. The Shock Lance,
used in conjunction with our cloaking pack, makes for stealthy,
one-strike kills when sneaking up upon unsuspecting enemies.

Electron Flux Gun (ELF)
The Electronic Flux Gun, or ELF, is a short-range energy weapon. It
deals little direct damage, but rapidly drains a target's energy
supply, which renders energy-based weaponry and equipment useless
while severely hampering a targeted warrior's mobility. It is commonly
used to soften an enemy objective's defensive force fields or to slow
a fast-moving enemy warrior.
|
|
Mortar
Capable of lobbing highly explosive shells over long distances, no
other personal weapon used by the tribal warriors can match its
destructive capability. Because of the mortar's great weight, only
Heavy Armor can carry it -- and then only with limited ammunition.
This weapon is especially effective when used in tandem with a
targeting laser, as the targeting laser gives the mortar (and grenade)
launchers a guide as to where to shoot.
|
|
Targeting Laser
The Targeting Laser does no damage itself. Instead, it allows the user
to "paint" a target for a teammate equipped with another weapon, such
as the mortar. It draws energy from the warrior's main energy reserve
and will stop working whenever energy runs out.
|
|
Missile Launcher
Only medium and heavy armors may use the missile launcher. Missiles
track flying targets (even friendlies if no enemy targets are visible)
after a few seconds to achieve a lock, or fire in a straight line if
no flying targets are present. Damage is severe, but the rate of fire
is very slow, and the launcher carries sparse ammunition.
|
|
Basic Grenade
A timed explosive charge thrown by a warrior. Each warrior carries six
grenades as part of the standard loadout.
|
|
Concussion Grenade
This grenade does little damage but produces a powerful concussive
force that pushes warriors away from the point of detonation and can
knock weapons out of the victims' hands.
|
|
Flare Grenade
Flare grenades use a slow-burning thermal charge to provide light.
They are used to mark a spot with bright light or to decoy a guided
missile away from its target.
|
|
Whiteout Grenade
Flash grenades are hand grenades that blind nearby warriors (friend
and foe alike) who happen to face the blast. The severity of blindness
afflicting a warrior depends on how close she was to the point of
detonation. Ineffective beyond 20 meters.
