Main article: Bullseye
Chimera 5 420 317

Primary Fire: Energy Round

Secondary Fire: Homing Tags

The Bullseye, including its upgraded counterpart, in Resistance 2 have been completely redesigned, losing less of the 'rectangle' design appearance.

Main article: Bullseye Mark II
R2 Bullseye Mark II

Auger Mark II[]

Main article: Auger Mark II
Auger MkII

Primary Fire: Penetrating Radiative Rounds

Secondary Fire: Force Barrier

Not very different from Auger Mark I, except for the ability to see enemies on the other sides of walls. Its shield is considerably larger and rounder, making it much more defensive.

In co-op, it can be unlocked for the Soldier and Spec-ops commando classes at levels 10 and 18 respectively. It does lower damage compared to its single-player counterpart, but holds twice as much ammo.

HE .44 Magnum[]

Main article: HE .44 Magnum
Chimera 10 420 317

Primary Fire: .44 Semi-Automatic

Secondary Fire: Remote Bullet Detonation

This revolver first appears to be an ordinary handgun. However, using the secondary fire detonates the bullets, which is a very useful feature for setting traps.

In co-op, it is unlocked for the Medic class at level 18. Against elite forms of chimera it is recommended that the player fires all six bullets into said enemy, then press R2/RB to detonate them all at once.

In multiplayer, it is the only side-arm available for either faction. Generally, it is wise to fire at least three bullets into an opposing player, before detonating them.

HVAP Wraith[]

Main article: HVAP Wraith
Minigun

Primary Fire: Fully Automatic

Secondary Fire: Force Barrier

The HVAP (High Velocity, Armor Piercing) Wraith fires 1200 rounds per minute, and is the deadliest of all hand-held weaponry. It also boasts the first successful infusion of human and Chimeran tech, deploying a force barrier capable of stopping any type of munition.

In co-op, it is the standard weapon for the Soldier class. Points are awarded for absorbing damage with the force barrier. As a Soldier levels up, the force barrier capacity increases.

L210 LAARK[]

Main article: L210 LAARK
Laark 210

Primary Fire: Rocket

Secondary Fire: Shredders

The L210 LAARK is an updated version of the L209 LAARK. The difference is it no longer has the air brake ability, so the rocket can no longer deploy submunitions, but the alternate fire shoots out the submunitions and no longer uses the rocket, but a totally different ammunition. They are less powerful than in R:FOM, but in Competitive, it serves as "easy xp".

In co-op, it is unlocked for the Soldier class at level 28.

MP-47 Pulse Cannon[]

Main article: MP-47 Pulse Cannon
Resistance 2362

Primary Fire: Energy Beam

Secondary Fire: Concussion Blast

The Pulse Cannon fires a focused, long-distance energy beam with unparalleled stopping power. The secondary mode fires a powerful, short-range concussive blast capable of shredding most biological enemies. In co-op and competitive modes, it can be received as special weapon when the respective berserk bar is filled. However it is not called the pulse cannon, instead called snake eyes.

L23 Fareye[]

Main article: L23 Fareye
Chimera 18 420 317

Primary Fire: Semi-Automatic

Secondary Fire: Focus Mode

The L23 Fareye is an advanced sniper rifle developed by the British. It was later used by SRPA after 1951.

Marksman[]

Main article: Marksman
Chimera 12 420 317

Primary Fire: Three-round burst

Secondary Fire: Drone

This sniper fires a three Ion rounds burst automatically while the trigger is held down. The secondary fire shoots out a small autonomous drone which projects short electrostatic orb bursts at nearby targets.

This weapon is the standard weapon for Spec-ops commandos in Co-op.

Rossmore 238 Combat Shotgun[]

Main article: Rossmore 238 Combat Shotgun
Chimera 17 420 317

Primary Fire: 1 Barrel

Secondary Fire: 2 Barrels

An updated version of the Rossmore 236, it now features a box magazine and a pistol grip, and has reduced recoil. It is seen in Resistance 2. The only other change is the secondary fire does not fire both barrels simultaneously, but one right after another. That means if you miss, you could still possibly hit them with the other barrel. It is only found in the campaign when needed, and it is useful against Leapers and Chameleons.

In co-op, it is unlocked for the Soldier class at level 2 and the Medic class at level 10. It has a faster single pump, more starting and spare ammo and higher accuracy than its single player counterpart, but lower damage, twin barrel rate of fire, capacity an increased reload speed.

V7 Splicer[]

Main article: V7 Splicer
Chimera 20 420 317

Primary Fire: Saw blade

Secondary Fire: Heated saw blade

This human-built weapon fires electro-magnetic saw blades that knife through Chimera. The secondary fire, when held down, spins the saw, charging it to the point of being super-heated. When fully charged it automatically sends the saw flying forward, dealing a heavy blow to any Chimera unlucky enough to be in its path. It is unlocked for Medics in co-op at level 28.

XR-13 Bellock[]

Resistance-2-4e26615a4304f

The Spider grenade is a new weapon featured in Resistance 2. When the grenade has landed, it spreads a napalm-like substance which burns everything in it's path.
