Weapon Descriptions

Weapon Name

Description
Rocket The is your basic weapon. You have almost unlimited quantities of it. The rocket is a long distance weapon that needs to be shot with pin-point accuracy.
Shotgun The shotgun is a close-range weapon. It can be very deadly at a short range. The bullets travel straight, gravity and wind doesn't effect it at all.
Grenade The grenade is also a short-distance weapon. It can be thrown and when it makes impact with the ground, it will explode, leaving a big hole in the ground. Can be very deadly if accurately thrown.
Bouncer This exploding rock can travel great distances. The rock will bounce 3 times when making impact with the ground, each time creating a fearful explosion. Great to use against enemy targets that stand in a straight line.
Cluster X3 The cluster X3 bomb explodes in the air when it starts descending. The first explosion causes 3 more bombs to be released which will fall to the surface and explodes on impact. This weapon is very useful against groups of troopers not too far away.
Cluster X12 The cluster X12 bomb is more deadly than the X3. It also explodes at decending position, but causing 3 cluster X3 bombs to be released. At ground impact, a total of 12 bombs will explode. This weapon is very useful against even bigger groups of troopers, but more expensive.
Suicide Suicide bombers....... If your trooper is brave enough, he can blow himself up, and try to take a few enemies with him. This bomb kills your trooper, and makes a huge explosion which leaves a big hole in the ground.
Ground BX3 The ground BX3 is fired like the normal rocket, but on ground impact explodes into 3 more bombs which will bounce away from the original impact point. Deadly against any trooper.
Ground BX12 The ground BX12 is a very powerful weapon. It travels the same as the Ground BX3, but explodes into 3 ground BX3 bombs when making impact. It gives you 12 bombs exploding in a medium size area. Again, even more deadly than the ground BX3.
Zapper The zapper is a electronic shockwave which doesn't destruct the ground. It is a long-distance weapon that shoots out electronic shockbeams which cause electronic explosions on impact. 5 beams that travel in an arc are produced when using this weapon. This weapon covers a big area, but doesn't do that much damage.
Lazer The lazer weapon shoots out a lazer beam that will travel in a straight line until it makes contact with the ground. Very powerful at a close range and when troopers stand in a line.
Teleport The teleporter gives a trooper the functionality to travel long distances without having to walk. Shoot the teleporter towards your destination point and the trooper will be teleported to the impact point. Be careful not to shoot the teleporter into the water or lava !
Heat Seeker The heat seeker will start seeking any form of heat when it starts to descend. Troopers are very hot, so this weapon is very accurate when shot into the air. The nearest trooper to the seeker will be in trouble.
IR Locker Infra Red locking rocket. Select your target by aiming in his direction. The IR locker will tell you that it is locked onto a target, and will display the selected target with a yellow box. Just press the fire button and the IR locker will do the rest.
Nuke A war game without nuclear weapons is not a war game. This weapon destoys anything around it on impact. It makes a huge explosion and makes a huge hole in the ground. Very expensive, but most deadly.
