Pistols are secondary weapons carried by Sharpshooters, mainly as backup weapons when the Sharpshooter needs to move, but with Gunslinger perks they can become quite potent in their own right. These special gauntlets focus psionic energy into solid blades, and grow stronger as the user gains Focus. Shard Gauntlets are the exclusive main weapon for the Templars. While its range is somewhat shorter than an Assault Rifle and has a smaller clip size, the Skirmishers' ability to move and fire in any order allows them to excel in close combat. Clip size 3.īullpup Rifles are the exclusive main weapon for the Skirmishers. While they are less powerful than their Sniper Rifle cousins, they require only one action to fire and have no range penalties at all. Vektor Rifles are the exclusive main weapon for the Reapers. The War of the Chosen DLC gave them the ability to upgrade their weapons with add-ons, similar to the other playablable classes. Similar to the Grenadier's Cannon, they pack a punch and are capable of naturally shredding armor without any upgrades however, due to the SPARK's poor Aim skill, they quickly fall off at longer ranges. SPARK Weapons can only be equipped by SPARK units, introduced in the Shen's Last Gift DLC. Sniper rifles will be able to shoot as long as the enemy is in a teammate LOS, but with an aim and critical chance penalty Sniper rifles require two actions to fire/overwatch. Although not unique to sniper rifles, firing sniper rifle beyond normal sight range with squad sight skill will be penalized base on distance. Sniper rifles can only be used by Sharpshooters. They do high damage but have smaller clips than assault rifles. Clip size 4.Ĭannons are the heavy weapons carried by Grenadiers. They gain double aim bonus at close range relative to assault rifles, but suffer aim penalties at longer range.

They are high damage, short range weapons.

Shotguns can only be equipped by Rangers. They are generalist weapons, not excelling in any particular situation. Rifles are the standard issue weapons for Rookies, Specialists and Psi operatives.
