Red Rock Resistance Ranged Weapons Overview
We take a closer look at the ranged weapons available in our Red Rock Resistance game demo.
In Battle Drones, our twin-stick shooter, there is a wide range of weapons for you to use. This article covers some of the first weapon types you will see in the game.
There are both melee and ranged weapons, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Melee weapons can deal great damage without limiting your movement or combat speed. However, you’re limited to close-range combat and put yourself at risk for enemy attacks. Ranged weapons have varying attacking distances and power, allowing you to navigate enemy attacks more strategically.
Today we will focus on three ranged weapons: pistol, rifle, and shotgun.
Pistols/handguns
Characteristics
Range: Average
Firing Speed: Fast
Reload: Fast
Power: Moderate
Ammunition: Low Capacity
Pistols are low-calibre weapons that fire rapidly but have an average range. Reload time and cooldown are generally short. Therefore, the pistol is considered a quick weapon. Its downside is the fact that it has relatively little ammunition in the magazine and it needs to be replaced frequently, and the range of the weapon is not very large. Deals moderate damage.
Handgun
Heavy Pistol
This upgraded version of the first pistol has less ammunition and a bit longer reload and cooldown time. However, it shoots with a longer range and deals more damage.
Assault Rifles
Rifles are versatile guns that have large magazines, short cooldown time and satisfactory damage within mid-range. Reload time and cooldown are short. The rifle is a very fast, deadly weapon. It has a very large magazine and a greater range than a pistol. However, it deals slightly less damage.
Range: Long
Firing Speed: Very Fast
Reload: Very Fast
Power: Low
Ammunition: High Capacity
Base Assault Rifle
The upgraded assault rifle has the same specifications, however, it deals a bit more damage. Plus, it has a laser pointer making it easier to aim at the target.
Shotgun
The shotgun deals immense damage with massive power, however, at a short distance. Also, it has only two pieces of ammunition in the magazine and a long reload time. The shotgun is able to pierce up to three targets, and pushes the enemy backwards!
Characteristics
Range: Short
Firing Speed: Slow
Reload: Very slow
Power: Very High (multi-hit & push back)
Ammunition: Very Low Capacity
