Descent 3/Weapons

Primary Weapons

1	Laser Cannon	The standard cannon. An upgrade is available to allow four lasers to be fired instead of the normal 2.	Super Laser	An upgraded version of the laser cannon.
2	Vauss Cannon	This cannon rapidly fires at a high velocity to instantly hit its target. This weapon uses ammunition rather than energy.	Mass Driver	Fires a single shell at a high velocity to inflict significant damage. This weapon uses ammunition rather than energy.
3	Napalm Cannon	Uses napalm fuel to cause enemies to catch on fire and take additional damage over time. This weapon uses ammunition rather than energy.	EMD Gun	Fires electro-magnetic energy, which tracks enemy targets.
4	Microwave Cannon	Fires microwave beams. Microwaves will disrupt the enemy, disorienting them for a short while.	Plasma Cannon	Fires plasma balls.
5	Fusion Cannon	Hold primary fire to charge the cannon, and release fire to launch the attack. Note that holding the charge too long causes feedback damage.	Omega Cannon	Short range, but drains enemy shields (adding energy to your own.)

Secondary Weapons

6	Concussion Missile	Fires an explosive missile.	Frag Missile	Fires a missile that breaks into shrapnel on impact. Inflicts significant damage on targets located near a wall or corner.
7	Homing Missile	Fires a missile that tracks a target.	Guided Missile	Fires a missile that is manually guided.
8	Impact Mortar	Fires a mortar. The mortar slowly moves a short distance before making a large explosion.	Napalm Rocket	Fires a rocket, which released napalm on impact. The napalm is affected by gravity.
9	Smart Missile	Fires a rocket. On impact, it releases plasma that tracks down a nearby target.	Cyclone Missile	Releases six-mini missiles that track enemy targets.
0	Mega Missile	Fires a missile that tracks it target and makes a large explosion.	Black Shark Missile	A superweapon. On impact, it pulls all nearby objects into a vortex, then explodes.
