From the very beginning of X-COM, the technology of X-COM is outmatched by

the aliens. It seems as if the scientists are always playing catch-up, trying to hastily

create new weapons to get an advantage over the aliens, and to ultimately replicate

the alien technology itself, using their own weapons against them. Here, you will

find all the weapons available to X-COM troopers, from the basic M-18X Assault

rifle, to the highly dangerous HE-110 High Explosive Charge. Weapons are

categorized by availability, with what X-COM starts with foremost, followed by

technological advancements.

The Basics

X-14A Automatic Pistol

This sidearm packs a bit more punch than the average pistol. The pistol is designed for stopping power, but

by no means an offensive weapon. Rather, it is a reliance of heavy weapons personnel for close-combat,

as well as medics, and others that are not able to carry a rifle. The X-14A is designed only to carry armor-piercing

bullets, in order to penetrate whatever defenses the aliens might have. Ammo Cost:$70

M-18X Assault Rifle

The standard firearm for X-COM squaddies in the early days of the fight. Sufficient for taking down the early

aliens, but may be beyond its capabilities when attempting to tackle later foes. As with the X-14A, the M-18X is only capable of carrying armor-piercing rounds. Ammo Cost:$200

XVL Heavy Cannon

The XVL Heavy Cannon was designed with heavy firepower in mind, but with multiple shots to eliminate the

need for reloading, as is the case with the BZ-102 Rocket Launcher. With this enhanced ammo capability,

the XVL gave up some firepower. Loadable with armor piercing, high explosive, and incendiary rounds, it still packs

punch for even the most hardened X-COM squaddie to appreciate it. Ammo Cost:AP: $300 HE: $500 I: $400

AXL Autocannon

The AXL takes the philosophy of the XVL to the extreme. The ammo capacity for the cannon was increased

to fourteen shots. The cannon is even capable of firing short bursts, making it the ideal weapon for

suppressing the more durable aliens. The AXL is also capable of firing armor piercing, high explosive, and incendia

rounds. Ammo Cost:AP: $500 HE: $700 I: $650

BZ-102 Rocket Launcher

When X-COM needs heavy firepower, it pulls out this monster. Caution must be exercised, as its effects are

so devastating, unwanted friendly or civillian casualties could easily take place. However, when faced with

the current alien threat, sometimes the only option is to use this heavy weapon, and when they do, the aliens don't

stand a chance. Ammo Cost:AP: $600 HE: $900 I: $1,200

DTF Hand Grenade

No X-COM soldier hits the battlefield without these invaluable weapons. The digital timer fuse (DTF)

grenades do not pack more firepower than the current military standard grenade, but have a high-precision

digital timer capable of detonating the grenade any time between impact and a maximum of twenty-three seconds.

Used properly, these can deliver the aliens a nasty surprise.

DPF Proximity Grenade

The DPF is one step even beyond the DTF. Whereas the DTF grenade relied upon an internal timer, the

DPF proximity grenade is triggered by any movement within four feet. This makes the DPF ideal for

guarding the rear of a squad in close quarters, or to cover all possible exits of a UFO or alien-infested building.

HE-110 High Explosive Charge

Intended originally for demolition purposes, this explosive has also found a use dispatching aliens in the

thick of combat. Equipped with a timing mechanism similar to that of the DTF grenade, it is possible to set

the charge up to six minutes, and such may be necessary if used to bring down large buildings and other structures

STF Smoke Grenade

Equipped with the DTF timer, a small, smoke-producing grenade obscures the vision of both ally and enemy

alike. However, there are times when impromptu cover is neccessary, and the STF is the trick. It is possible

to substitute other chemicals for the smoke agent, but it an X-COM directive not to do so. Unknown alien chemicals

may have an adverse reaction with tear gas, nerve gas, or other terrestrial chemicals, so the risk can not be taken o

creating a sudden explosion, or an extremely lethal gas that could kill aliens and humans alike without warning. Any

X-COM personnel tampering with the STF in such a way will be court-martialed immediately.

Electro-Stun Rod

Similar to a modern stun gun, the stun rod operates on the same principle. A non-lethal shock is sent

through the tip of the rod when discharged, enough to sufficiently knockout a target, and do little permanent

damage. This object has not yet been tested on larger targets, and it is unknown if some aliens may even have an

immunity to electro-shocks.

1The incendiary rounds have weak casings, designed to burst on impact. If it hits the target successfully, roll a die.

the roll is greater than the target's DR, the round penetrates into the target, and releases its incendiary chemicals

insidethe target, and burns the target from within. Use the larger damage amount for this. And if the die roll was le

than or equal to the target's DR, then use the lesser of the two as damage of the actual impact, and add flame

damage starting next round.2DPF Grenade detonates when its motion sensor detects any movement within 5 feet of its position.3In addition to normal damage, target must make a health check at -1 (cumulative) every time the damage penetrat

DR, or fall unconscious.
