The Armory

The Uber-Armory is a large weapons catalogue that SPARTAN-984 uses and maintains. The weapons are divided by category and by character. It is also being made as a list of weapons for a game.

Blazefire model
Blazefire Saber - Lightning carries this gunblade upon recruitment: it costs no GMP.

Flamberge - Rank 2 Blazefire, costs 5000 GMP. Increases bullet damage through higher caliber rounds.

Axis Blade - Rank 3 Blazefire, costs 5500 GMP. Weight is decreased, allowing Lightning to move faster.

Enkindler - Rank 4 Blazefire, costs 6000 GMP. Weight is decreased further.

Omega Blazefire - Rank 5 Blazefire. The sword has been replaced with a special diamond-tipped titanium carbide blade, allowing the Blazefire to be much more resistant to wear and tear than usual while also allowing it exceptional striking power. However, it costs 7000 GMP to research.

Carbine model
Edged Carbine - Rank 1 Carbine, costs 6500 GMP. and is available for R&D once the Omega Blazefire is 50% completed. Lightning's l'Cie magic is amplified when she carries Carbine model gunblades: each rank increases the amp-up.

Razor Carbine - Rank 2 Carbine, costs 7000 GMP. The Razor has a sharper blade allowing for deadlier melee attacks.

Lifesaber - Rank 3 Carbine, costs 7500 GMP. This gunblade was made for Sanctum officers. During co-op, if Lightning revives someone with a Lifesaber as her weapon, they will revive with full health.

Peacemaker - Rank 4 Carbine, costs 8000 GMP. This gunblade amplifies the effect of the Lifesaber's revival: revived friends will also have full Psyche.

Omega Carbine - Rank 5 Carbine, costs 9001 GMP. The GMP cost is an in-joke, and upon it being finished Lightning will quote the internet meme herself. The Omega Carbine, like the Omega Blazefire, has had its blade replaced with the same type of diamond-tipped titanium carbide blade used on the Omega Blazefire.

Gladius model
Gladius - Rank 1 Gladius, costs 8500 GMP and becomes available for research when the Omega Carbine is 50% complete. The Gladius has a strengthened blade, meaning melee attacks deal progressively more damage.

Helter-Skelter - Rank 2 Gladius, costs 8500 GMP. The Helter-Skelter has been equipped with AMP technology, and each additional Gladius rank further increases Lightning's already pragmatic magic abilities.

Organyx - Rank 3 Gladius, costs 9000 GMP. Organyx has a massive damage boost, but it was too heavy for military use: as a result, Lightning moves more slowly when she carries Organyx.

Apocalypse - Rank 4 Gladius, costs 9500 GMP. Apocalypse carries Organyx's damage boost, while also lightening the load.

Omega Gladius - Rank 5 Gladius, costs 10500 GMP. The Omega Gladius, like the Omega Weapons before it, boasts a specially-developed diamond-tipped titanium carbide blade. The weapon is, despite weight-reduction, as heavy as Apocalypse.

Ancient model
Hauteclaire - Rank 1 Ancient, costing 10000 GMP and only becoming available for research after Lightning's loyalty mission succeeds. The weapon, though based on an ancient gunblade, is merely a copy: it still offers powerful damage increases over the Gladius model.

Durandal - Rank 2 Ancient, costs 10500 GMP. The Durandal is a lightened variant of Hauteclaire.

Lionheart - Rank 3 Ancient, costs 11000 GMP. The Lionheart, if the melee attack is used, can knock out enemies if they have one-quarter or less of their Stun HP remaining.

Ultima Weapon - Rank 4 Ancient, costs 11500 GMP. Ultima Weapon will stun enemies with one-sixth their Stun HP remaining.

Omega Weapon - Rank 5 Ancient, costing 15000 GMP and being the final Gunblade researchable. Omega Weapon has been given the same blade as before, and is the highest damaging gunblade: the melee attack, though suicide, is capable of destroying the copied Pupa in three hits.

Big Daddy armaments
Drill Rank 1 - The starting level Drill, which Alpha possesses.
 * Drill Rank 2 - A Drill equipped with side augers, allowing for increased damage.
 * Drill Rank 3 - This Drill has been equipped with cooling nozzles that decrease the fuel consumption rate of the Drill. The Rank 3 Drill can be dashed with.
 * Drill Rank 4 - The Drill has now had an electromagnetic dynamo built into it: it can reflect most gunfire by simply being spun.

Rivet Gun Rank 1 - The starting Rivet Gun. Alpha also possesses this.
 * Rivet Gun Rank 2 - This Rivet Gun has been rebuilt with an extended magazine, allowing for more Rivets to be fired.
 * Rivet Gun Rank 3 - This Rivet Gun has been fitted with a maximum-PSI compressor, allowing for higher damage.
 * Rivet Gun Rank 4 - The last stage Rivet Gun has been fitted with a heating mechanism which gives Rivets a slight chance of lighting enemies on fire.

Trap Rivet Gun - A derivative of the Rivet Gun firing trap ammunition, which lays out a laser once embedded in a wall. Upon something breaking the laser beam, a smaller Rivet will fire out of the Trap Rivet.

Heavy Rivet Gun - This Rivet Gun is deadlier than the standard Rivet Gun because it carries Magnum Rivets - heavier, deadlier rivets that can spear through multiple targets.
