Hellgate: Pistol Weaponary

Blaze Pistol
Damage Type: Fire SplashBlaze Pistol

Designed to deliver a massive, timed explosive, the Blaze Pistol is a fusion of ancient formula, careful craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. Resembling a small handheld crossbow, the tip of the Blaze Pistol's arrow-like projectile is forged from Palladium, allowing it to anchor itself in the thickest demon hide. The shaft of the bolt is filled with alchemical Greek Fire and is made to literally degenerate upon detonation, eventually delivering the widest and deadliest blast possible to unsuspecting demons who thought the impact alone was all they had to worry about. The results are spectacular and well worth the wait.

    Firestarter
    Damage type: Fire (Direct) Firestarter

    By unleashing a concentrated stream of Greek Fire, this small and highly portable weapon can quickly ignite combustable material or enemies. The attack of the Firestarter is concentrated so while it can only be employed against a single foe at a time, the likelihood of the target becoming superheated to the point of explosive combustion is high.

    Grappler
    Damage Type: n/a
    Grappler
    Designed as a companion sidearm for the Templar, the Grappler does just what its name implies. Firing out tether of braided Palladium, the device securely latches onto its target and draws it quickly into melee range. This is a particularly useful item against demons that attack from the skies as it can instantly negate their greatest tactical advantage.

    Grenadier
    Damage Type: Physical (Direct) & Fire (Splash)
    Grenadier
    This weapon infuses ancient myth into a highly-modified grenade launcher. By utilizing rounds filled with the long-forgotten alchemical solution known as "Greek Fire", the Grenadier is well suited to burn their unholy targets to the ground. In practical terms, the weapon lobs grenades that combust into a fiery splash and fill the targeted area with extremely hot, long-burning fire that is strangely resistant to the effects of water and chemical extinguishers.

    Named after the famous 17th and 18th century British siege/assault troops that gained a reputation of being courageous and fearsome soldiers, the Grenadier is a tactical support weapon that is commonly employed by the Templar. While other types of ammunition have been created, the Holy Fire round is standard issue.

    Plagueblaster
    Damage Type: Toxic (Splash)
    Plagueblaster
    A bizarre invention that looks more like a mad scientist's portable lab than a weapon. The Plagueblaster has an abundance of ways it can be modified, further lending to its obviously experimental nature. The rapid fire bursts of highly toxic, explosive projectiles make it a deadly experiment indeed.

    Rebounder
    Damage Type: Physical (Direct & Splash)
    Rebounder
    As a demonic creation, the inner workings of this weapon remain a mystery. The short, swift blasts that the weapon fires are part energy, part physical in nature and have a peculiar elasticity to them. Controlling the weapon is also somewhat difficult which results is a wild firing pattern whose shots bounce and ricochet before fading into the netherworld from whence they came.

    Scorcher
    Damage Type: Fire (Splash)
    Scorcher
    The Scorcher uses the alchemical elements known as Greek Fire to destroy its target with spectacular effect. Designed as a short-range support weapon, it is commonly used in conjunction with a melee weapon.

    Shockwave
    Damage Type: Physical
    Shockwave
    The Shockwave represents another ingenious use of the HARP technology. Emitting an electrically charged sonic wave that focuses the sonic patterns of the weapon, this device both damages and stuns any targets in its wake. The single-click, radius burst effect of the Shockwave that is centered on the user makes this an extremely simple mechanism to operate. The one drawback to the weapon is the relatively small (fifteen to twenty feet) radius of effect.

    Spike Bolter
    Damage Type: Physical (Direct)Spike Bolter

    The six high-speed rotating barrels afford the Spike bolter a ridiculously high rate of fire which more than makes up for its wide projectile spread. Designed to deliver a massive amount of sharpened Palladium needle-like bullets, the velocity drives the tiny missiles through the thickest of demon hide, much as a toothpick can blast a hole through a telephone pole.

    Vulcan Bolter
    Damage Type: Fire (Direct & Splash)
    Vulcan Bolter
    The Vulcan personal defense sidearm is one of the advanced military weapons used in the last days of the invasion. While surprisingly effective against smaller demons, its deployment to battlefield personnel was a case of "too-little too-late". While man's most advanced technology proved incapable of stopping the demons, the Vulcan Bolter is highly useful and deadly weapon in the hands of a well-trained adventurer.

    Corrupt Blade

    Damage Type: Toxic (Direct)Corrupt Blade

    Secured from fallen demons, these dark blades can be controlled and wielded by a warrior with enough strength of mind and soul. The arcane runes etched in the jagged, ebon blade glow with vile power, emitting small wisps of noxious fumes. The mere touch of this sword can be deadly, and when delivered with force, it is devastating.

  • Cricket Bat

    Damage Type: Physical (Direct)Cricket Bat

    A common item used for generations on pitches around the world, these sanctified versions can crush the skull of a demon as swiftly as England winning the Ashes. Blessed with ancient rites and invocations, the wood of these bats are harder than steel, yet maintain their lightness of weight and expert balance. A simple weapon, but one that gets the job done.

    Max mod slots:

  • 1 relic


  • FirebrandFirebrand

    Damage Type: Fire (Direct & Splash)

    The massive serrated edge of this sword gives it a unique and deadly silhouette. When the eternal essence of flame is conjured, encircling and dancing about the blade, it becomes a devastating weapon - using the very fires of hell to combat the dark demons that walk the earth.

    Max mod slots:

  • 1 relic
  • 1 fuel


  • Molten Edge
    Damage Type: Fire (Direct)
    Molten Edge
    The eldritch energies that confine and shape the fiery blade of this weapon allow its owner to wield the very essence of fire against his enemies. The heat emitted by the Molten Edge enables it to easily slice through the thickest armor plating, although it takes great training to use it without grave injury.

    Max mod slots:

  • 2 fuel
  • 2 relic


  • Negotiator
    Damage Type: Physical (Direct)
    Negotiator
    The most ancient of the Templar swords, this mighty blade is crafted to cleave through the hardest demon defenses. It is imbued with holy energies and is forged from pure Palladium, making it both light enough to wield one-handed and sharp enough to slice through almost any substance. Its design is the pinnacle of style and substance.

    Max mod slots:

  • 3 relic


  • Shock Blade
    Damage Type: Electric (Direct)hysical (Direct)Shock Blade

    This martial weapon relies not upon the sharpness of its edge to dispatch its target, but the summoned element of lightning. Imbued with the very essence of the skies, electrical energy dances across the Shock Blade once it has been drawn. The powerful discharge it generates when striking an enemy has been known to completely disrupt the neural systems of demons, giving the wielder an opportunity to press their attack as the vile creature recovers.

    Slicer

    Damage Type: Spectral (Direct)Slicer

    Driven by an arcane power source that taps directly into the spectral plane, the Slicer cuts a path through demons in a very unique way. The projectiles from this weapon accelerate over time, picking up speed as they move and reflect off of physical surfaces. This allows errant shots a second or even third chance to strike their target.

    Trident Launcher

    Damage Type: Fire (Splash)Trident Launcher

    This portable missile launcher launches up to a trio of high-explosive projectiles that can strike a single or multiple targets depending upon the range at which it is fired. Named after the fabled weapon of the Greek god Poseidon, the Hindus call the trident the trishul which is associated with Shiva, and is a symbolic weapon against evil.
