Weapons

Weapons are one of the cornerstone items in Ashes of Phoenix. Almost nothing is as important as the choice of your weapon, as well as correct usage of such. In most cases, the weapon entirely dictates the play style you will follow.

All weapons are categorized as in one of the 5 Weapon Skills, them being Small Guns, Big Guns, Energy Weapons, Melee as well as Throwing. Exceptions to this rule are spears. Which depending on the firemode chosen, can either be used as a melee weapon, or a throwing weapon.

Projectile Weapons

Most weapons shoot some type of projectile. In most cases a bullet, though there are weapons that shoot explosive rockets. Beams of Laser or Plasma. Or even more exotic stuff like needles.

These type of weapons have a magazine, that upon being emptied, has to be reloaded. Weapons might only be able to be fired in single-shot mode, some in full-auto and some both. Projectile weapons that mimic a bullet and be fired in Single-shot mode, usually can be Aimed with, while projectiles that mimic an explosive charge, like rockets, can be aimed at a specific Tile on the battlefield.
