What the weapons and the booster do

  • BR-14 Adjudicator is an armor-piercing assault rifle. It works best against small groups.
  • R-36 Eruptor is a bolt-action rifle. Its shells burst into shrapnel on impact.
  • CB-9 Exploding Crossbow fires exploding bolts that deal the most damage on a direct hit. The bolts drop over distance, so aim a little high.
  • GP-31 Grenade Pistol is a sidearm that fires grenades. You reload it after each shot.
  • G-123 Thermite sticks to the surface it hits, then burns.
  • Expert Extraction Pilot brings the extraction shuttle to your beacon sooner.

The 3 armor sets cover every weight class: CE-07 Demolition Specialist is light, CE-27 Ground Breaker is medium and FS-55 Devastator is heavy.
