Electro-Thrower

Electro-Thrower shoots a continuous electric beam that stuns enemies and keeps them locked down. It doesn’t use regular ammo, just charges from a portable station.

Lightning Spear

A melee weapon that chains electricity between enemies. It works well for crowd control and can double as a normal spear when the battery runs out.

Hardlight Saber

The Hardlight Saber is useful against shielded enemies. It can reflect projectiles sometimes and does extra damage to shields.

Explosive Sledge

This is a heavy melee weapon that uses explosive cartridges to deal area damage. It’s slow to swing but packs a punch and can clear groups of enemies. If you run out of ammo, it still works as a regular sledgehammer.

Antique Shotgun

A classic close-range gun that hits hard. The ammo is easy to farm from certain enemies or respawn zones, so you won’t run out quickly.

Black Hole Grenade

A throwable that creates a black hole, pulling enemies in and doing a lot of damage. It’s one of the few weapons that can kill Composers, who are usually tough to take down.

Lodestone Crossbow

Lodestone Crossbow deals decent damage and is great if you want a ranged weapon that won’t alert enemies easily.

Crowbar

Crowbar is versatile for melee fights and useful for breaking crates or sneaking up on enemies.

Frag Grenade

A throwable with high explosive damage. It’s hard to find, but when you get it, it can turn tough fights around.
