Weapon types, characteristics and overview

Type	Strengths	Weaknesses	Purpose/role
Machine gun	Fast turning speed High rate of fire	Low damage Moderate overheat Average accuracy and range	Good all-round weapon for close to medium range. High rate of fire combined with its flexibility makes it perfect for sustained damage output. It can shoot and disable enemy weapons.
Shotgun	Automatic weapons High damage	Average rate of fire Terrible accuracy Swift overheat Delayed/slow turning speed	It is a brawling weapon and is only suitable for close range engagements. High burst damage makes this type of weapon useful for hit-and-run tactics.
Cannon	Excellent range Excellent accuracy Excellent damage Splash damage destroys clusters of weapons and hardware	Slow turning speed Limited ammunition Bullet drop	Shooting from cover takes advantage of the long range and high damage output of a cannon.
Melee weapon	High damage Low energy costs	Contact range Impact based damage Useless against evasive targets	Since it is challenging to get within range, it is only effective for close combat. It is useful for stabbing enemies until they explode.
Autocannon	Excellent range and accuracy Good damage Good rate of fire Slow to overheat	Slow turning speed Uses some energy	An autocannon is suitable for medium to long range since it does not need to turn that much. An autocannon is basically a tiny version of a turreted cannon and behave as such a weapon.
Unguided rocket	Splash damage Quick reload	Limited ammunition Low accuracy Ballistic weapons	A rocket pod contains a salvo of unguided rockets that can be launched at the enemy. The rockets are devastating if all of them hit their targets.
