Primary Weapons are main weapons used by soldiers. They vary in use and appearance. They are used along with Secondary Weapons. Each class can use 2 types of Primary Weapons.
Rifles[]
Rifles (known more commonly as Assault Rifles or ARs) are balanced weapons with multiple uses. They can be used at the very start in the game. They aren't outstanding in any particular field, but some of them have really big firepower. They can be full-auto, semi-auto and burst fire. They are used by Engineers and Medics.
Duals[]
Duals are double weapons that alone could be better as secondaries, but together have great firepower. They vary use, as they can be pistols, SMGs, machine pistols and shotguns. They can be used by Gunslingers and Ninjas.
Snipers[]
Snipers (or Sniper Rifles) are long rifles designed for long-range combat situations. Most sniper rifles are bolt-action rifles, however some of them are semi autos. Sniper rifles usually boast great damage and are capable of one-shotting their opponents; for semi-autos they make up for their worse damage with their rate of fire. They can be used by Gunslingers and Snipers
Shotguns[]
Shotguns are close range, inaccurate scatterguns that spread multiple pellets at once. They have high damage when pellets connect and they are the most powerful weapons in close combat. They can be used by Ninjas and Juggernauts.
Machine Guns[]
Machine Guns (or MGs) are weapons with very fast fire rate, good damage and lots of ammo (some of them can't even be reloaded). However, they also have low accuracy and mid range, so their firepower is effective only in close combat. They can be used by Mercenaries and Medics
Explosives[]
Explosives are mid to long range weapons that explode on impact and cause area of effect damage around the impact location. The Mercenary and the Engineer can use explosives.
Elementals[]
Elementals are short weapons with a high rate of fire. Most elemental weapons apply status effects. The Juggernaut and the Elite can use elemental weapons.
Experimentals[]
Experimentals are futuristic, Sci-Fi like weapons, with various effects. The Elite and the Sniper can use experimental weapons.
