Weapons

[toc]

In the multiplayer all weapons, gadgets, explosives, etc fall under one of four categories. They are Assault, Engineer, Medic, and Recon. There are a few extras that fall under “all” category which means you can put them in any of the four kits. I will list just about everything you need to know about each weapon and what category they fall under.

To unlock some of the guns you either have to rank up by gaining XP in multiplayer or by gaining score in certain kit categories. To do this you get kills and do objectives using a certain kit. The score never goes down only up. Some special guns only unlock with a code or being a “battlefield veteran” by playing other battlefield games on your same EA account. Go tohttp://www.badcompany2.ea.com/veteran to try and unlock them.

I will try to give you all the stats on all guns such as how many bullets per mag/clip are in each weapon, their rate of fire in rounds per minute (RPM), how long it takes to reload in seconds(S RT = Seconds reload time), and the power of each bullet from each weapon. I will calculate the reload time from the moment you reload until the gun comes back up ready to be fired. Almost all weapons get a certain camouflage depending on the map you’re on. I will give the range of each gun in meters. Lets say there’s a gun with 20-30 damage and a range of 50-100M. This means at point blank range to 50 Meters the gun will do 30 damage. Then the power steadily drops off until it reaches 100 meters and the gun’s damage will do 20 points of damage. With shotguns it’s a bit different. Default shotguns use shotguns shells with buck in them. 6 or 12 bullets depending on the shotgun, the damage you do on an enemy depends on how many of the bullets in the shell you get on the enemy. I explain further in the All kit section.

All guns give a certain amount of damage per bullet. The damage drops off at longer distances. Headshots give 2.1x damage with the exception of most of the sniper rifles and some shotguns. I will list their multipliers on each gun. Bullets don’t seem to effect all vehicles. The ones they do don’t effect vehicle health as much as people’s health. Each player has 100 points of health and I will tell you how much power each gun has per bullet by labeling two numbers BP (Bullet Power), minimum to maximum damage. I gave the damage value based on the 25% increase of damage after the patch.

All Kits

Weapons that fall under the “all kits” categories mean they can be used in any kit. Because they can be put in any kit it means they can use that kit’s primary gadget. When it comes to the secondary gadget, these weapons can use all the secondary gadgets in that particular kit with the exception of the assault secondary gadgets. Instead it uses C4. The specializations these guns can use vary a bit depending on the gun. Shotguns usually have high power and lower accuracy. They are best suited for CQB for their low range. Shotguns have longer range than most games, but if it’s far enough without 12 gauge slugs then you won’t take any damage away from the enemy. Without slugs you spray your shell within the circular cross hair on the screen, so if you don’t get the full spread on an enemy you will not do full damage. Depending on the shotgun there will be a x6 and x12 multiplier on how many of the bullets of the shell hit the enemy.

They can all use:

  1. Lightweight Combat Equipment
