'Crusader' - The Weapons Trivia Quiz

Answer: RP-32

The RP-32, one of the best overall weapons in the game is called the 'Pacifist'. It is an assault rifle that fires a .30 round. It's damage it's fair (though it's the weakest weapon in "No Regret"), it's accurate even at long range, has a high rate of fire and a large magazine. Plus it leaves a body to loot.

It's preset to fire a three round burst and features in both games. The RP-22 is called the 'Conciliator' and is identical to the 'Pacifist' except for the fact that it fires a two round burst The 'Conciliator' featured only in "No Remorse".

The BK-41 is called 'Peacemaker' and is a pistol which fires a .40 round and preset to a two round burst, making it a bit stronger than the standard BK-40 pistol. The SG-A1 is called 'Conformer' and is a shotgun, standard issue to Riot Control Troops and Urban Pacification Units.

The standard Ionic shield protects the wearer against all these weapons.

Answer: False

The LNR-81 "Liquefier" Catalytic Cartridge is one of the most advanced Projectile Weapons available. It fires a classified chemical agent that reduces all molecular bonds in the target. A human opponent is hence liquefied and reduced to a small pile of residue.

It pierces through Plasma shields which makes it a useful weapon against Enforcers with the disadvantage that you can't loot the body (since it becomes liquefied).

Answer: Cametron

Solartrons are the big bad yellow boys, with the most heavy armour and armament. Vetrons are Heavy Units seen throughout the games, strong opponents and Avatrons are Medium units seen in "No Regret".

Answer: GL-303

The GL-303 is just known as the GL-303 Grenade Launcher. The UV-9 Ultraviolet Rifle is nicked 'Pulsar', the AC-88 Riotgun is nicked 'Reaper' and the EM-4 Electromagnetic Pulse Rifle is called 'Vortex'. The GL-303 is the standard rocket launcher and carried by at least one member of a WEC Fireteam. No shields protect against this weapon and it can be used to blow through normal doors and duct grates. Be aware that blowing up doors sets of the alarm and that blastdoors can't be penetrated.

The AC-88 is one of the most deadly anti-personel weapons, in fact a semi-automatic shotgun. One blast at close range can take down most opponents, even Enforcers.

The drawback is relative inaccuracy at long range and the small clips. You run out of ammo really fast if you are not careful.

The Ionic Shield protects against the AC-88 but the weapon cuts through the energy supply fast draining the shield in seconds. The UV-9 is still experimental but already issued to Enforcers and LMC Elite Guards as well mounted on the Solartron Mech.

The EM-4 fires an electro-magnetic pulse than can inhibit servo-mech funtions or disintegrate a non-shielded human. Only Graviton shields protect against the UV-9 and EM-4.

Answer: PA-31

'Lightning Rods' carry the PA-31 'Adjudicator' Laser Rifle. The PA-21 'Arbitrator' Laser Pistol is issued to NCO's in specialised 'Lightning Teams'. The Laser Rifle has a high rate of fire and works well against Servo Mechs in particular. Be aware that the lase beam can bounce of certain surfaces like glass. Be careful you don't get hit by your own beam.

The PA-21 featured in "No Remorse" only and was less powerful. The PL-1 "Unifier" Plasma Rifle is the WEC's only plasma based rifle and can disintegrate a non-shielded human opponent.

It has a very high rate of fire and is extensively used by Police SWAT units. Plasma Shields are necessary to defend yourself against these weapons. The advantage of the Laser weapons is the fact that a body is left to loot.

This isn't true for the PL-1 or EM-4.

Answer: AR-7 'Rico'

The SW-404 is the name given to the weapon in the "No Remorse" manual, but all other sources dub it the AR-7 'Rico'. Presumably this was the name of the weapon initially but got changed later. The manual probably didn't get updated. AP-MRL probably stands for "Anti Personal-Multiple Rocket Launcher". What the SW or AR stands for, beats me. Like the GL-303 the AR-7 can penetrate all personal shields.

It's slightly less powerful though and on No Regret/No Remorse mode an Enforcer can even survive a direct hit. Direct hits with the Rico or GL-303 generally either set the target on fire or simply explode him, leaving no bodies to loot.

Answer: BK-16

The Cryoton utilizes the BK-16 "Crystallizer" Molecular Inhibitor which stops any molecular movement in the victim. The victim is thus frozen at the ultimate zeropoint (0 degrees Kelvin or -273 Celsius) and another hit makes it shatter. The weapon is fairly strong, pierces through Plasma Shields but leaves no body to loot.

Answer: 60

This makes the weapon one of my favourites, since the AC-88 does contain only 12 rounds per clip, which means that you have to reload often and are drained of your ammo real quick. It's also the largest magazine capacity for any weapon. Keep in mind through that the RP-32 fires in a three round burst (two round burst for the RP-22).

Answer: 20

If you cheat, you can carry 99 clips. This is true for all projectile weapons (BK-40, BK-41, SG-A1, AC-88, RP-22, RP-32, GL-303, AR-7, LNR-81, BK-16).

Answer: APP-5200

APP-7200 is the 'Cametron', APP-4450 is the 'Avatron' and AP-4210 is the 'Thermatron'. Thermatron's were the first dedicated Anti Personel Platforms. They are lightly armoured and armed only but are swift. The APP-4400 Vetron's were the first Heavy units, heavily armoured and armed with a varying degree of heavy weapons (including twin Reapers, twin Laser cannons and twin Rocket Launchers).

They are relatively slow though. The Avatron is a newer design and meant as a compromise between the light Thermatron and heavy Vetron.

The Solartron is the heaviest APP in the WEC's service, carrying more armour than the Vetron and armed with either twin UV-9's or GL-303's.

Answer: APP-4210

The others have been explained above and the APP-4100 is made up. The Thermatron is usually armed with an assault rifle caliber weapon (comparable to the RP-32) but rumours had it that the WEC was working on a plan to upgrade their Thermatrons with more deadly autocannons. The plans for this new prototype were stolen by the Rebel Silencer in "No Remorse" (the third mission).

Answer: Roaming Susan

The android is the MS-110, Roach the MS-35 and the Vetron is an APP (APP-4400). The Roaming Susan was one of the first Maintenance Servomechs and is extensively used to keep all the WEC's equipment in working order. It was originally armed with a .40 caliber small arm for site defense but recent rebel activities forced the WEC to upgrade it to a laser arm.

Answer: MS

The 'Roach' is the MS-35, the little black thing encountered in "No Regret". It's primarly used for carrying messages and is armed often with an integral EM-4. It's small size makes it somewhat difficult to hit but is generally not thought to be a high class risk. Watch out for the APP those, they exist only to hunt you down.

Answer: Broiler

XP-5 'Broiler' Microwave Projector. This weapon is very strong and has a good rate of fire. It doesn't drain as much energy as the UV-9, can pierce Plasma Shields but leaves only a bloody mess instead of a lootable body. Good weapon to plow through a horde of Enforcers though. Somewhat inaccurate at long range.

Answer: LNR-81

Advanced weapons as the EM-4, UV-9, XP-5, LNR-81 and BK-16 can penetrate the Plasma Shield, not to mention High Explosives and grenades. Unfortunately those weapons also leave no body to loot. Explosives and grenades can't be stopped by any personal shield.

Answer: False

This weapon, the predecessor of the RP-32 features in "No Remorse" only. It uses the same type of clips as its newer brother. The RP-32 does return and is your starting weapon in "No Regret".

Answer: UV-9

The GL-303 and AR-7 are cheaper, the LNR-81 doesn't feature in "No Remorse". All weapons can be bought from Weasel but if you look around very carefully in each level you can find them before you have the credits to buy them from Weasel. Also note that not all weapons are available but become available as your progress in the game.

Answer: Spider Mine

You need a 'Mine Det' to blow it up (highly recommended). Mine Dets blow up all Spider Mines, Spider Bombs and Limpet Mines in the area. The Mine Det is a new tool in "No Regret". Since "No Remorse" didn't feature shielded mines it was also not really necessary. Always have a few of them ready in case you get spotted by a camera and a Spider Mine is sent after you. You can determine if a Camera triggers Spider Bombs or Mines. If you see the typical hole in the floor it's a place for launching Spider Bombs. If the hole is glowing red it will launch a Spider Mine when triggered. Limpet Mines are standard mines which are often concealed on the floor. You can still make them out by looking careful or simply activate your VIR imaging chip. Betty's triggers small explosives that are shot in several directions at once creating small explosions all over the place.

Answer: Energy Station

The Cametron can mimic small powergenerators, Food Dispensers, the Large Computer Terminals and boxes. Cametrons are the latest servomechs in the WEC's arsenal. Their armour is tough, probably even as tough as the Solartron's and it needs several direct GL-303 hits to knock it out.

It usuallys mounts a fully automatic AC-88 which can cut through your shield very quick but some units have been observed with a GL-303. The fact that it mimics other objects make it hard to spot. But you can still determine whether somethings is an object or Cametron. If you see a row of boxes and out is slighty out of line, then it's a Cametron.

The same is true for power generators. If you see a Food Dispenser with no flickering light, it's a Cametron, same for a computer terminal.

It activates once you come close or when it gets hit. Alternatively Cametrons disguised as Computer Terminals activate then you try to use it.

Answer: True

For some strange reason you don't have to 'pump', greatly increasing the effectiveness of the gun. It's probably a bug, in both games but it never got fixed. It's recommended you spend most stages of the early game crouched, once you have found your SG-A1 especially on No Remorse/Regret difficulty.
