* {{BFG}}: The XMV-850 minigun, SKAS-21 super shotgun, JL-21 MRL 'Peacemaker' rocket launcher, J2329 HAMR portable mortar (the [[UpToEleven biggest of the Big]], as its recoil is so high that you take damage if you fire it from the shoulder), [=RX22A=] flamethrower, [=HVC-MK9=] lightning gun, M75-TIC Railgun, R20 Bulldog Assault Cannon, and the E-V 9000 Plasma Cannon (which is a ShoutOut to [[VideoGame/{{Doom}} the original BFG]]).

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: The Dark Star and Nova Staff. They're essentially magic staffs. One has a chainsaw.

* AllThereInTheManual: The flavor text of each gun alludes to some sort of war between what's essentially a cross of the [[Franchise/{{Halo}} UNSC]] and the [[Series/{{Firefly}} Alliance]], against various alien races - namely, the plasma-firing Skrith (who appear to be some sort of cross between the [[Franchise/{{Predator}} Yautja]] and the [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Covenant as a whole]]); the Cryon, where the info from the flavor text of the Spectre states they're synthetics covered in organic or psuedo-organic material, like the Franchise/{{Terminator}}s; and the Krao, who we don't know much about other than the Skrith command them on the basis of WeHaveReserves, and battles against them go as expected (the M353 and M925 machine guns were used to slaughter millions of them in a particularly bloody "Wasteland Siege", and one captain apparently managed to [[OneManArmy hold off six companies' worth of them]] with the M290 shotgun). WordOfGod is that {{zeerust}} [[TitleDrop ballistic weapons]] were fielded because they penetrated Skrith shields, which are made for deflecting plasma and lasers, far easier than their regular energy guns. In addition, it's implied that the weapons in-game are mostly outdated: the anti-materiel rifle says it's been supplanted by two other, modern anti-materiel sniper rifles, which aren't in-game.
