The Weapons:


The different weapons are sorted roughly by their strength and abilities into so-called "classes". Each class uses one of the weapon slots on your numbered keys and shares them, as it also shares the spawnpoints in the maps. This means you e.g. will find the crossbow sometimes at the place originally the shockrifle will
show up and once you picked up both you also can switch between them bypressing their select key (in this case the "4") multiple times.


Bastard Sword:

Weapon Slot - 2
Type - Melee

Bastard Sword

Primary Fire:
Attack - The Bastard Sword is very deadly, but for obvious reasons, you must be close to your enemy to score hits. At first this seems to be a major drawback, but with the swords defensive properties, it’s a much better weapon than it appears. A lot of people just hold down the fire button all the time when using the sword, but timing your attacks is much more effective, especially if your opponent also has one. Some practice time with the bots should help you get a feel for it. It has five different attack animations, and four defense animations, which add to the realism.

Alternate Fire:
De
fense - The block feature is used by pressing the alternate fire button and is very effective against most types of attacks, such as the sniper rifle. You must be facing the attack for the defense to be of any use. A good player will defend himself as he approaches and wait to time his attack when he’s in your face. (Hint: with a bit of luck and some practice, most types of projectiles can be blocked... try it! :)

Crossbow:

Weapon Slot - 4
Type - Ranged\Melee

Crossbow


Regular Arrow-Bolts
Explosive!
Posion!

Yes, I said both ranged and melee :) This deadly new version of our crossbow has a new feature. Spikes that project about 2 feet in front of the weapon and cause extra damage if your target is up close and personal. There will be three types of arrow-bolts for the crossbow... We call them arrow-bolts because our crossbow fires slightly larger bolts than normal.

Primary Fire:
Aim, shoot, and kill. Descriptions of ammo types is listed below…

Alternate Fire:
With a press of the button you now have a Sniper scope! Aim, Ziiiinnnng, BOOOOOOOOM! ( BOOM only occurs with explosive arrows, of course! ;)

Regular Arrow-Bolts:

I am a bit reluctant to call these regular, as these are great. They're quiet, and have no flash to give you away. With the scope (the alternate fire key) it’s an excellent sniping weapon. They hit hard and the crossbow fires faster than a Railgun too, so as you can see these "regular" bolts aren’t too shabby :) These will stick into surfaces for a while if they miss a player.

Explosive Arrow-Bolts:

Silent and quick again but now with explosive tips! Needless to say these are very deadly. These bolts fly a lot faster than rockets do, so you don't have to lead so much. This weapon is going to be fun :)

Poisonous Arrow-Bolts:

The ultimate disabler. Pop someone with one of these and he will be unable to pay attention to YOU for a while. Players who have been poisoned may occasionally hurl a nasty green glob at YOU, or anyone unfortunate enough to be in its way. The glob does a good deal of damage, so try to avoid it.

We look smart! =)  Explo arrow in action

Proximity Mines (The Proxy):

Weapon Slot - 8
Type - Smart Weapon

The Proxies!

Primary Fire:
When hand thrown, the Proxy is immediately active and aggressive. They will hop around laughing and roaring, while they hunt for a victim. Some weapons can harm them....but which ones you have to find out for yourself! :)

Alternate Fire:
When alternate fire is used the Proxy will stick to what you shoot it at and lower its face shield to hide and wait for victims to approach. When a victim is close enough, it will activate and leap out at them. Pretty smart little guys huh? My best advice when faced with a school of them is to RUN!

The Flak2 (AKA: The Claw):

Weapon Slot - 1 for Melee, 8 for Projectiles Type
Short Range\Melee

The CLAW!


...when used in melee....

Primary Fire:
As a multi-purpose projectile launcher, the Claw is currently fitted to fire flak ammo and proxy mines, but soon multiple grenade types will show up!

Alternate Fire:
This playerpush mode shoots out a proxy at a very high rate of speed, still in its eggshell. They will slow with floor and wall collisions, and once they slow to a certain speed the shells will open and the proxy will activate. Hitting a player with one of these causes a big push (hence "playerpush") and some striking damage. Once the proxy activates it will target whatever is in range (including the unfortunate who just got knocked back.

Melee Mode:

Once you have picked up the Flak2 you can also use it as a melee weapon if you should have no ammo anymore... just switch to weapon slot 1, get near a player and press fire... should rip out a pretty nice piece of flesh ;)

Smile!  Even accurate while making big jumps! =)

Chaos SniperV2:

Weapon Slot - 0
Type - Long Range\Ricochet

The Chaos Sniper



Ammo A


Ammo B

Primary Fire:
The Sniper Rifle is used without aiming via the scope. Headshots are just like the regular UT sniper rifle, but what makes our Chaos Sniper so special is the ricochet feature. If you make bank shots like a pool shark, then this is the weapon for you. If you’re good with UT's sniper rifle already, then what we are doing is allowing you to take your sniping to go to the next level. You’re welcome :) Bullets and ricochets are noisy however, and that "wheeeeeee - ting!" sound lets the target know a sniper's on the loose! The rifle has 2 ammo types, as described below.

Alternate Fire:
The scope is used and can be zoomed in with either of two settings (set in the ChaosUT modconfig Menu) The first mode is the normal smooth zoom, and the second is what we call ZoomStops, with this mode the zoom jumps from 1x to 3x, 6x, 9x and back to 1x.


Ammo Type 1: Normal sniper ammo with ricochet feature

Ammo Type 2: Rocket-Propelled Bullets or RPB’s These are extremely fast, leave a nice smoke trail which points back to the shooter, and can penetrate multiple unarmored targets.

When the bullet comes back...
Two in a row...
Three in a row!!!
