Weapons
Press R1 to bring up the Main weapon and the X button to fire it. Press R1 and the Circle button to use the Sub weapon. Make sure your Sub weapon is facing the enemy before you fire it, as you do not want to injure yourself in the line of fire.
R1 acts as an auto-lock immediately aiming at the nearest target. L1 acts as a pivot swinging you around to aim at the target behind you. Use this feature when you are attacked on two fronts. Always recharge your weapon and sub weapon at the Save Shops along the way.
Please note that Sub weapons and underwater weapons cannot be used while you are running. My advice as your guide is to buy every weapon in the Save Shop. There is enough EP out there in the jungle and its fun to try all the weapons.
Hand Gun
Regina starts the game with this standard issue weapon. It is a single-handed 9mm gun that you can fire while you are running. This is an effective weapon to begin with but we recommend you upgrade as soon as you can. You can only hit one Dinosaur at a time with this gun.
Large Stungun
Regina begins the game with this Sub Weapon. It is very useful for opening electronic gates and doors. It can also be used to stun Dinosaurs. While they are recovering from the shock blast them with a main weapon.
Large Stungun with Power Battery Upgrade
You can buy this upgrade when you play as Regina. It gives your Stungun added power. Save your EP you do not need it.
Shotgun
Dylan begins the game with this weapon and it's a very effective weapon. The shells wide spread range is excellent as you can hit a few Dinosaurs at once. This is great for Counter Attacks and Combos. You can use this weapon all through the game and its not expensive to Recharge.
Machete
Dylan starts off with this as his Sub weapon. Its useful for cutting away vines that are holding doors and gates closed. I do not recommend you use this weapon to kill Dinosaurs with. Use this Sub weapon to open gates and doors.
Heavy Blade Machete Upgrade
This is a heavier more powerful version of the Machete. It's available only when you play as Dylan. Save your EP you do not need it.
Flame Launcher
My favorite weapon as its effective on every Dinosaur. Buy it as soon as you can. You can effectively eliminate herds of Dinosaurs with this weapon. Simply sweep back and forth with R1 and the X button pressed down and you will hose fire onto the Dinosaurs killing them quickly. Great for Counter Attacks and Combo's. This is the best weapon for killing Allosaurus's. This is a two handed weapon. You cannot run fast with this weapon.
Firewall
This is an excellent defense Sub weapon buy it ASAP. You can put up a wall of fire between you and the attacking Dinosaurs. Then you can blast them with a main weapon while they are still burning. If you are attacked on two fronts use the Firewall on one front and L1 to spin round and blast the other front with a main weapon.
Sub Machine Gun
A two handed weapon that only Regina gets to play with. You can shoot while you are running which is nice. The firepower is not great but the rapid-fire rate is good for shredding most Dinosaurs. A nice feature is that you fire at two enemies at once as you have two guns and they both track different Dinosaurs. Useful for when you attacked by large numbers of Dinosaurs.
Antitank Rifle
The Antitank Rifle packs a huge punch but it is very slow to reload. It is good on single smaller enemies but do not use it against fast packs of Dinosaurs. If you can pin down a group of Dinosaurs you can take out all of them in one shot, but you will have to have them cornered to do so. Its good for blasting Inostrancevia in the belly once you have flipped them over.
Missile Pod No Picture available
This is fun, fun, and fun. An absolute must for the Dinosaur hunter. It fires three homing missiles at once. This is the weapon to blast Pteranodons out of the sky with. It is a two handed weapon and is heavy so you will not be able to maneuver to well when you fire it.
Solid Cannon
This weapon fires an electronic energy blast at Dinosaurs destroying their cell tissue. You can only have this weapon when you play as Dylan. It's good for killing Dinosaurs at close range. You can also run through the ball of energy once you have fired it leading Dinosaurs into the deathtrap. You can use Sub weapons with this weapon, as it is a single-handed weapon.
Rocket Launcher
This is the most destructive weapon in the arsenal but I found it two slow and too heavy to effectively use. Only Dylan can fire this weapon. Its fun to blast Allosaurus's with once, but you have to change weapon after one hit or you will get eaten, as the reload time is too long. Use this to move the Giganotosaurus out of your path in the end battle.
Heavy Machine Gun
Regina gets to fire this weapon. It's a single-handed weapon allowing you to use a Sub weapon. It's got a great rapid-fire attack rate and is a must to buy. It packs an awesome punch against multiple Dinosaur attacks. It's effective against most Dinosaurs and works well with the Chainmine Sub weapon.
Chainmine
You have to buy this weapon to blast your way out of the Cave. It is also the only weapon that can flip over the Inostrancevia. It fires five mines into the ground flipping over any enemy that stands in its way. Its a single handed Sub weapon. A must for the mission.
Underwater Weapons
As Regina is the only T.R.A.T. member with aqua skills she gets to play with the underwater weapons.
Shockwave
This underwater Sub weapon sends an electrical shock through the water immobilizing targets. It has an unlimited supply of ammo. Use this to stun the Mosasaurus then fire the Needle gun at them to kill them. When you fire this Sub weapon the blast will knock you back so be careful if you are on high walkways.
Needle Gun
This is a very effective weapon against the Mosasaurus. It fires three needles into the killer fish. The ammo supply is unlimited which is nice allowing you to rack up a huge amount of EP for free.
Aquagrenade
You must purchase this weapon in order to kill the big Plesiosaurus and blast the concrete pillars down, so you can escape the Underwater Third Energy Facility. It fires torpedoes and is the most powerful underwater weapon available. Do not use this weapon on the Mosasaurus as it's a waste of ammo. Torpedoes cost EP where as needles are free.
Recovery Items
Hemostat
Stops the bleeding but does not recover your health. Keep a few in your health file at all times. When you have the Inner Suit or the Light-Weight Body Armor you no longer need this item.
Med Pak S
Recovers a little health. This Med Pak will recover half of your HP. Do not buy these items as you can find them throughout the game.
Med Pak M
Fully recovers your health but does not stop the bleeding. Once you have the Inner Suit or the Light-Weight Body Armor this is all you need to buy. Do not buy this item until then but when you do have the armor or the suit fill your health file with this item.
Med Pak L
Fully recovers your health and stops you're bleeding. Until you have the Inner Suit or the Light-Weight Body Armor fill your health file with these items. Buy this item at Save Shops.
Resusc Pak
You can return to life with your health fully restored. If you have this in your health file and you get killed you can use this item to continue. Keep a couple in your health file but do not waste them as they cost 3000Normal and 10000Hard.
