There are currently ten weapons that can be used in Gun Raiders and all weapons are accessible to all players.
Weapon Wheel
Players can change their current weapon by holding down the A or X buttons to bring u the weapon wheel and selecting a weapon from the list. The first page of the weapon wheel shows six weapons. Pressing the A/X button again brings up the second page of the weapon wheel.
Alternative Fire
In addition, some weapons have an alternate fire option, which can be toggled using the B/Y buttons:
- Assault Rifle – shoots in bursts instead of continuous fire
- SMG – turns on a laser sight
- Sniper Rifle – quicker rate of fire but less damage
- Shotgun – very powerful single shot (close range)
- Grenade Launcher – switches to harmless smoke grenades that create an opaque dome to hide from opponents
- Dual Pistols – fire three shots at once (sort of like a mini-shotgun)
- Minigun – slower rate of fire but more damage
- Katana – switches to spirit mode, which gives a speed boost and health regeneration but reduces damage
The weapons are very well-balanced, with each offering certain advantages and disadvantages.
Knife and Revolver
All players have access to a revolver, which is usually located in a holster on the right hip. And the knife can be spawned directly in either hand by holding down both the grip and trigger together.
