The knife is very useful for breaking through glass, breaking crates/barrels, locks and disabling bear traps. ----------------------------------- 3.Handguns ----------------------------------- 1.

Cost Lv1 0.4 - 0.10 - 2.37 - 30 - Lv2 0.5 $7000 - 1.93 $5000 50 $7000 Lv3 0.6 $14000 - 1.17 $15000 100 $15000 Lv4 0.8 $18000 - - 150 $20000 Lv5 1.0 $24000 - - 200 $25000 Lv6 1.2 $35000 - - 250 $35000 2. Mine Thrower: Mines are launched by this weapon. Just a little similar to a standard grenade as it will explode and damage any enemies nearby after a short period of time. Unfortunately, ammo is really hard to find and therefore, its rare. Ammo type: M.Thrower Ammo Value: 28,000ptas Power Cost F.S Cost R.S Cost Cap.

Rocket Launcher: With a single fire, it will cause serious damage to anyone with this strong weapon, but you can only launch one shot because there is no specific ammo available for it, so basically this means that, once you've used it, you cannot use it again, you simply cannot upgrade it or anything. Ammo type: N/A Value: 8,000ptas 4. Rocket Launcher (Special): Very similar compared to the original rocket launcher but this one is valued much more and a bit more stronger. Ammo type: N/A Value: N/A 5. Infinite Rocket Launcher: Exactly like the original rocket launcher, but the difference between this rocket launcher and the standard rocket launcher is that this one has infinite quantity of rockets. It can stay in your stock forever. Ammo type: N/A Value: 1,000,000ptas 6. Chicago Typewriter: This secret weapon is available after finishing the 'Assignment Ada' and 'Separate ways' mini-game. It kills all enemies with only a few shots and the best thing is that it has infinite ammo, so you can fire as many as shots as you want. It's considered as the top weapon in the entire game and it is very identical to the TMP due to its firing stats. Ammo type: N/A Value: 1,000,000ptas Power Cost F.S Cost R.S Cost Cap. Cost Lv1 10.0 - 0.10 - - - - - 7. Handcannon: This is an impressive gun that should kill ganados with only a single shot. It is very powerful and very useful against stronger enemies and bosses.

P.R.L. 412: Not particularly helpful, as it only destroys the plaga instead of the body from enemies. Ammo type: N/A Value: N/A ----------------------------- 8.Grenades ----------------------------- You cannot purchase or upgrade Grenades from the merchants. The only way to earn a grenade is to find one yourself. This won't be challenging as you will find these types of grenades lurking everywhere. HAND GRENADE: This is used for clearing out large groups of enemies, it is thrown to wherever you want to aim at and then a few seconds later, it will explode. INCENDIARY GRENADE: This is exactly Used like a hand Grenade, but it will only burst enemies into flames. FLASH GRENADE: Again, this is used exactly the same as the previous grenades, but this will quickly get enemies blind for a little while. ----------------------------- 9.Misc Items ----------------------------- Stock Red9: Combined with a Red9 to increase its handling.
