New Weapons

 * Argenti r.II Rifle
 * Class: Rifle
 * Faction: Colonial

 * Fuscina pi.I
 * Class: Rifle
 * Faction: Colonial
 * This unique rifle fires three rounds in rapid succession. The Fuscina is the first of its kind, designed for laying down suppressive fire during assaults on fortified enemy entrenchments.


 * KRR3-792 Auger
 * Class: Sniper Rifle
 * Faction: Colonial
 * A Kraunian rifle modified for long-range engagements. It doesn’t have the range or stopping power of other marksman rifles but more than makes up for it with unmatched reliability in a range of environments and a superior effective rate of fire.


 * Catara mo.II

 * Faction: Colonial
 * A titanic light machine gun capable of scattering infantry lines with ease, the Catara is a modern weapon for the modern Colonial.


 * KRN886-127 Gast Machine Gun

 * Faction: Colonial
 * This classic submachine gun is sturdy and irreplacable as a general tool for close-range engagements. The Pitch Gun earned its namesake from Mesean sailors who employed the weapon to successfully defend against a night raid on the Geraston docks.


 * Ignifist 30
 * Class: Anti-Tank RPG
 * Faction: Colonial
 * This single-use rocket can be fired a short distance. Designed to punch holes into tanks, the Ignifist is the perfect tool for infantry anticipating armoured resistance.

 * Daucus isg.III

 * Faction: Colonial
 * The Bomastone is a ‘stick’ style fragmentation grenade with a handle designed to aid in lobbing over moderate distances.

 * Faction: Warden
 * Standard-issue Warden rifle. This bolt-action firearm is as robust as they come and has seen over a century of use on the battlefield.


 * Blakerow 871
 * Class: Rifle
 * Faction: Warden
 * The Blakerow is a carbine with a high rate of fire compared to its bolt-action predecessor. This increased fire rate does come at the cost of innate stopping power; however, its versatility and lightweight frame more than make up for any perceived shortcomings.


 * Clancy-Raca M4
 * Class: Sniper Rifle
 * Faction: Warden
 * A heavy-duty, long-range marksman rifle. The Clancy-Raca has one hell of a kick but is fitted with a powerful scope, allowing infantry to survey the battlefield and provide support from a safe location.


 * Fiddler Submachine Gun Model 868
 * Class: Submachine Gun
 * Faction: Warden
 * The Fiddler Submachine gun is a widely used urban combat weapon. Its high rate of fire and compact frame make it ideal for close-quarters engagements.


 * Aalto Storm Rifle 24
 * Class: Assault Rifle
 * Faction: Warden
 * Widely considered to be the first storm rifle, the Aalto is a marvel in Caoivish engineering. With its two fire modes, it can be used as a rapid-fire assault weapon, or an mid-range rifle.


 * Malone MK.2
 * Class: Machine Gun
 * Faction: Warden
 * This heavy machine gun is bulky enough to require a steady surface to maintain stability. The Malone series of machine guns are unmatched defenders on the battlefield.


 * 135 Neville Anti-Tank Rifle
 * Class: Anti-Tank Rifle
 * Faction: Warden
 * The Neville is unmatched in its versatility as a portable, magazine-based anti-armour firearm.

 * Faction: Warden
 * This variant of the Bonesaw MK.3 is specially designed for use with tripod mounts. This affords it with increased stability and maximum potential range.


 * Cutler Launcher 4

 * Faction: Warden
 * The Cutler Launcher is capable of firing an unguided, rocket-propelled grenade over short distances with startling efficiency. Its simple design allows for easy deployment and storage.


 * A3 Harpa Fragmentation Grenade
 * Class: Grenade
 * Faction: Warden
 * This anti-personnel fragmentation grenade is designed with pull-pin mechanics and a timed fuse for user safety. Serrations in the casing allow for a better grip and increased fragmentation effectiveness.


 * Cascadier 873
 * Class: Pistol
 * Faction: Warden
 * This unique sidearm fires in three-round bursts. The Cascadier may not have the stopping power of its cousins, but it more than makes up for it with its lightweight frame, concealability and fire rate.
