Red Faction

Faction	Image	Name	Description	Singleplayer?	Multiplayer?
		Control Baton	This crowd control weapon can serve as a truncheon or a stun gun.	Yes	Yes
		Riot Shield	A body-sized translucent shield that is used by the riot guards of Ultor. The riot shield is lightweight but can withstand blast and gunfire damage for a brief period of time.	Yes	Yes
		Sniper Rifle	Capable of semi-automatic firing only, this sniper rifle comes standard with an UNVS-8 scope that provides the user with up to 12x zoom. The rifle also features a wind velocity offset that corrects for wind conditions. This weapon is capable of inflicting critical wounds when a head or torso shot is achieved. It is also capable of penetrating light armored vehicles.	Yes	Yes
		Submachine Gun	This weapon is slightly larger than the handgun and is capable of full automatic fire. Heavier than the handgun, the machine pistol offers better control in full auto mode, though it remains inaccurate at medium or long range. Ultor officers (the guard commanders) get assault rifles as standard weapons.	Yes (Both modes)	Yes (12mm mode only)
		Shotgun	This weapon is a military-grade shotgun capable of semi-automatic and full automatic fire. Recoil in semi-automatic mode is slightly less than a civilian 10-gauge shotgun. Fully automatic fire is more difficult to control because of the recoil compensator's response time.	Yes	Yes
		12mm Pistol	This basic semi-automatic handgun packs a serious punch against unarmored targets. The handgun can penetrate body armor but with significantly less impact. This weapon is standard issue for Ultor security guards and officers. The Handgun can be fired underwater.	Yes	Yes (Silencer unavailable)
		Grenade	This weapon is a high explosive anti-personnel device with a kill radius of 5 meters. This weapon has a 4-second timer that starts when thrown. Hand grenades are highly effective against unarmored personnel and moderately effective against armored personnel.	Yes	Yes
		Assault Rifle	This weapon is designed to offer all the benefits of a full-length rifle in a compact design. It is capable of firing three-round bursts or full automatic fire. Compared to fully automatic fire, three-round bursts offer increased control and aim but potentially decreased force, unless fired at close range. The high-velocity armor-piercing shells inflict massive damage on unarmed targets and will penetrate body armor easily. This is the standard rifle issued to Ultor soldiers.	Yes	Yes
		Flame Thrower	This weapon is based on the Ultor Defoliator, used for clearing plant growth. It shoots a flaming stream of fuel that sticks on contact and burns for up to 30 seconds. This weapon has been modified to shoot a flame twice as far as the cost of faster fuel consumption.	Yes	Yes
		Remote Charge	This is a medium-sized, high-explosive remotely detonated charge. It has a kill radius of 10 meters. Only one charge can be detonated by gunfire or blast damage. They are effective against unarmored and armored personnel as well as light vehicles.	Yes	Yes
		Rocket Launcher	The weapon is capable of firing its rockets in "dumb" or "homing" (i.e., heat-seeking) mode. Once homing mode is selected, it takes approx. 2.75 seconds for the thermal imaging sensor to achieve target lock. The weapon beeps when locked onto a target. Once fired, the rocket tracks the target until contact or until it runs out of fuel.	Yes	Yes (Homing mode unavailable)
		Fusion Rocket Launcher	Huge shoulder-mounted weapon that fires a single powerful shell capable of massive amounts of damage.	Yes	Yes
		Precision Rifle	Single fire, explosive round with precision accuracy.	Yes	Yes
		Heavy Machine Gun	A terribly inaccurate, but fast firing weapon. Holds tons of ammo and best used when raw firepower and maximum supression is required.	Yes	Yes
		Rail Driver	This weapon was brought to Mars by Col. Masako's mercenaries. Capable of firing metal slugs at ultra-high velocity, the rail gun can penetrate walls.	Yes	Yes
