The game features a colourful, and frequently deadly, variety of 22 weapons and handheld devices, which all need to be employed in different ways in the game depending on their individual strengths and weaknesses and the situation at hand. It's possible to carry as many weapons as the physical strength of your character will allow, and other weapons can be stored at locations within the game world, for example in vehicles that the player controls.

The player needs to gain experience with each new weapon type acquired before they can use it to its full potential. Once a player has spent time with a particular weapon type, they will find that their accuracy and the overall effectiveness of the weapon in combat will improve dramatically. In addition they will be able to upgrade weapons - for example magazine size, range, recharge time, etc - and use different types of ammunition e.g. explosive, silent etc.
