Make sure you include two things in the subject line "Your Unreal Championship FAQ" and what site you are reading the guide from. That way I can tell that it isn't spam, and if you ask a question already found in the guide that either the host hasn't updated or you're a lazy, stupid pile. If you are a webmaster looking to host this guide, don't. The only two sites that are allowed to have this guide are Gamefaqs.com and Ign.com.

I'll give you some info and ratings (all are out of 5 stars) on them, then the best ways to use them. Let's get started shall we? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shield Gun -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real Name: Kemphler DD280 Riot Control Device Primary Fire: Shield Secondary Fire: Plasma Wave Rate of Fire (Primary): N/A Rate of Fire (Secondary): ** Damage done in primary fire: N/A Damage done in Secondary fire: 1/2 of a * (that may be over exaggerating) Affinities:(not like they'll help this piece of Sh!t weapon) Ammo: starting and max at 200 Damage: N/A Fire rate: N/A The Shield gun is simple a POS. It doesn't do a very good job of blocking anything and it really doesn't do any damage. I think snapping a rubber band would do more damage to the opponent than this. The best use of this weapon is in a Close quarters setting, with your opponent having either no ammo for his good guns, or if he had his pull-away cord yanked out by his cat. A good strategy for this weapon is sneak in close to your opponent then use the "Hey look over there" trick then yank out his cord and Pummel him while he jumps to replace the cord. Seriously. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A S S A U L T R I F L E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hah! I said ass. Real Name: AR770 Primary Fire: Rapid Fire Secondary Fire: Frag Grenades Rate of Fire (Primary): *** Rate of Fire (Secondary): * Damage done in primary fire: * Damage done in Secondary fire: *** Affinities: Ammo: 160 bullets and 8 grenades to start and 320 bullets and 16 grenades max Damage: Much higher Fire Rate: Higher than usual The assault rifle is one of the three weapons you start with. It works well against lightweight fast species, but not so well against a juggernaut, unless of course that juggernaut happens to only have a shield gun. The best use for this gun is in for Domination mode. It works well to throw in a grenade and wait till it explodes then while the enemy is still in shock run in and frag the sucker with the primary fire (make sure you capture the point first). Another good use for this gun is in Bombing run, when the enemy is alone running the bomb, you can stand behind him and shoot him, as to not waste the ammo for your good guns in case two juggernauts with rocket launchers show up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mini gun -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real Name: Schultz-Metzger T23-A 23mm rotary cannon Primary Fire: Rapid Fire Secondary Fire: Rapid fire with more damage Rate of Fire (Primary): ***** Rate of Fire (Secondary): **** Damage done in primary fire: ** Damage done in Secondary fire: *** Affinities: Ammo: start with 200 bullets, 500 max load Damage: Slightly higher Fire Rate: Not very noticeable, but it's there The Mini gun is the cliche "Spray and Pray" weapons of Unreal Championship. Weapons like this you walk in to a room full of enemies and you let loose with a barrage of bullets and hope you hit something. Because if you don't, you better strap on your running shoes because you're going to have a room full of pissed off opponents after you. The best way to use the mini-gun is in a crowded or tight room, however it, like most Spray and pray guns, has a wind up time of a second or so to get going. So make sure you hold the fire button for a split second before entering the room to achieve optimal efficiency with it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flak Cannon -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real Name: MK3 "Negotiator" Flechette Cannon Primary Fire: Flechette Barrage Secondary Fire: Flak grenade Rate of Fire (Primary): ** Rate of Fire (Secondary): * Damage done in primary fire: **** Damage done in Secondary fire: *** Affinities: Ammo: 30 to start, 100 max load Damage: One hit kills Fire Rate: add another * or 2 to the above rating The Flak cannon is called the Negotiator because it's just that, a room-clearing weapon. Throw in a flak grenade or two, then follow up with a few burst from your primary fire. If used correctly, this is the best room-clearing weapon of the game. Another great thing about this weapon is in primary firing mode, the barrage will bounce, so if your opponent is against a wall and you miss, the barrage will bounce off the wall and have a chance of hitting him. The best use, as said earlier was as a room clearing device. With the flechette grenades and the ability to bounce the flechettes off the walls, you never even have to see your enemy to frag him. This weapon seems to be have been designed for optimal use in Domination mode. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lightning Gun -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real Name: High-power energy weapon Primary Fire: Single shot burst Secondary Fire: Zoom and fire Rate of Fire (Primary): * Rate of Fire (Secondary): * Damage done in primary fire: **** Damage done in Secondary fire: **** Affinities: Ammo: 24 to Start, Max of 60 This is the only sniper weapon in the game. To me, it's pretty cheesy as a kill can be acquired rather quickly with this gun that seems to hone in on it's enemies while the charge is in mid-flight. It's almost as cheesy as the Far sight from perfect dark, but it can't see and shoot through walls so it come close. This weapon is good for any range of combat but it excels in long range, where you can zoom and fire, and have your opponent not really know where you are or where to shoot. You can also use it as a good support weapon, because of it's slow rate of fire, it isn't recommended you use this to clear a room by yourself with it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rocket Launcher -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real Name: Trident Tri-barrel Rocket Launcher Primary Fire: Single Rocket Secondary Fire: Dual / Tri Warhead launch (hold until desired amount loaded and release) Rate of Fire (Primary): * Rate of Fire (Secondary): * Damage done in primary fire: *** Damage done in Secondary fire: ***** Affinities: Ammo: 24 to start, 96 max load Damage: One hit kills with a single rocket Fire Rate: This makes this thing super cheesy to use. This weapon is a rather big innovation among FPS Rocket Launchers, the rockets damage was toned down a little, but loading three rockets and hitting all of them is likely to kill your opponent. The best use for the rocket launcher is to stop an onslaught of juggernauts, a tri launch will be enough to kill the juggernaut if all the rockets hit. This weapon can also be handled well in a wide open area, as if you keep your hairs close to the enemy the launcher will "lock - on" allowing for a tracking missile of sorts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shock Rifle -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real Name: ASMD Shock Rifle Primary Fire: Small fast shots Secondary Fire: Big Slow Shots Combo Fire: Plasma Ball (Fire the secondary shot, then when the ball is in range, fire the primary to cause an explosion) Rate of Fire (Primary): **** Rate of Fire (Secondary): ** Rate of Fire (Combo): * Damage done in primary fire: * Damage done in Secondary fire: ** Damage done in Combo Fire: *** - **** depending on range of the plasma ball. Affinities: Ammo: 40 to start, 100 max carrying Damage: Noticeably higher Fire Rate: Much Higher, especially the combo The Shock rifle is an interesting weapon, it basically is a well-rounded weapon. You can use the secondary fire at close range to ensure a good hit, the primary against any range of fighting, and the combo for room clearing. The best use for this weapon, is well anything, the only thing this weapon can't do is snipe, and if you were skilled enough, it could do that too. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T.A.G. Rifle and Ion Cannon -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real Name: Variable Altitude Phased Output Remote Weapons Platform (VAPOR WeP) Primary Fire: Paint target Secondary Fire: Zoom and Paint target Rate of Fire (Primary): * Rate of Fire (Secondary): * Damage done in primary fire: N/A Damage done in Secondary fire: N/A Damage done by the Ion Cannon: ************** Affinities: N/A This gun will destroy anything Period. Basically what you do is aim and pull the trigger wait a few seconds, then the Ion cannon rains down fiery goodness. One good thing to do is run like hell if you are close to where the blast will happen. The best way to use this weapon is to pull the trigger and tell your opponent to kiss his ass goodbye because he isn't dodging this one. The best way to use this is when there is heavy defense and camping going on, campers suck, and this is the ultimate Anti-camper weapon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Translocator -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real Name: Translocator Primary Fire: Fires a Disc, Camera of Disc, Destroy Disc Secondary Fire: Teleport to disc location Rate of Fire (Primary): N/A Rate of Fire (Secondary): N/A Damage done in primary fire: N/A Damage done in Secondary fire: N/A Affinities: N/A The Translocator is a pretty lame weapon, beyond getting out/into a hot spot quickly, this weapon is more or less useless. I don't use them at all, but they have their uses. Sadly you can't use this to run the flags as the flags won't go through. The best use for the translocator is to get into some high areas to snipe and camp for oncoming enemies. Another good tactic to use this for is to launch the disc and keep running past it from your enemies, then use it to turn the tables and get behind them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ball Launcher -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real Name: Ball launcher Primary Fire: Fires Ball Secondary Fire: Lock on for passing with the primary feature Rate of Fire (Primary): * Rate of Fire (Secondary): N/A Damage done in primary fire: N/A Damage done in Secondary fire: N/A Affinities: N/A This, like the shield gun, is one of the few non-weapon items in the game. Basically it's used for bombing run. I don't recommend you ever fire the ball though, unless you know for a fact you won't make it into the portal, because your team mates can never seem to score, and running the ball through is worth more than 2 times as much points. The best use for this weapon is to launch the ball up in an arc, then use a high damage gun to kill all of the people trying to stop you while running towards the ball, pick up the ball and keep on running. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BioRifle -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real Name: BioRifle Primary Fire: Single fire sludge attack Secondary Fire: Chargable Sludge bomb Rate of Fire (Primary): **** Rate of Fire (Secondary): *-*** depending on charge Damage done in primary fire: * Damage done in Secondary fire: **-**** depending on charge Affinities: Higher Rate of fire This weapon, In my opinion, is as good as the shield gun, useless. The fact that you start with the gun should prove that point. If it really was a good gun, they'd make you search for it. The best way to use this gun is to cover a choke point with the sludge and laugh as your enemies try to get you. This is a pretty cowardly tactic and shouldn't be used by the worst of the worst players. The secondary fire is good for running, dodging and charging, then turning for a quick surprise that will surely cripple your opponent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Link -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real Name: The Link Primary Fire: Rapid pulse laser beams Secondary Fire: Constant steam/ Support beam Rate of Fire (Primary): **** Rate of Fire (Secondary): ***** Damage done in primary fire: * Damage done in Secondary fire: * Affinities: Ammo: 80 start, 240 max Damage: Raises the damage power a little Fire rate: higher in primary fire This weapon is interesting, but extremely useful, while it's a pretty weak stand alone weapon, you can follow one of your team mates and use the secondary fire to "support" him. Basically it will increase his attacks against the enemy he is firing at. The best use for this weapon is following an ally around and using the secondary fire option when he is in a firefight. Don't get too obsessed with it, as you could be of more help with a rocket launcher in an out-numbered fight. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- About the Author -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- (Correct as of June 11th 2003) Hello, thank you for reading this guide. If you cared enough to read this far, I might as well entertain you. I'm a 16 year old Virgo and I will be a senior (when the school year starts again) at Millard North High School. In my free time I am either on the Gamefaqs message boards (Current events, The FAQ contributor Social Board, or the punk board), or playing my Xbox, Ps2, or my NES. With whatever time is left, I sell tacos in a little shack by the side of the road for little more than minimum wage (I recently got a Raise now I make $6 an hour! WOOO), which is slowly taking over my life with it's "OMG WE GIVE j00 more hours than j00 wantz0rz Benny FWARG!" attitude. Then I use my time machine to travel back in time, and fit playing hockey into my schedule. This will be my fourth FAQ/Walkthrough, and I feel that writing walkthroughs has really given me something better to do than watch some of the crap on television now days. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Legal Stuff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This FAQ is for personal use only.
