Weapons
Pistol
The Pistol is effective for fighting all types of enemies. Although it seems basic, it grows very powerful in later levels. Takes a long time to level up after level 10. Works great with the Split Mod.
Shotgun
Short-range, spread fire weapon. Small Buckshot projectiles do less individual damage. Best used at close range to guarantee all the shells hit their target. Leveling up the Shotgun will increase its range.

It always comes back to you! Boomerangs can go through walls. Great for situations where you need to take cover. Capable of hitting enemies multiple times.
Flamethrower
Emits a destructive fireball. Great for situations where you need to strafe backwards. Can hit enemies over and over. Levelling up increases the size of the fireball.
RPG
Does explosive splash damage, making aiming less important. Rocket projectiles have a detonation timer. Heatseeking tiers take the most direct path towards their target. Levelling up makes the rockets fly faster.
Bow
Fires projectiles in a slight arc. Cally's favorite weapon for years. The final tier of the bow has a special ability. Best tool for finding hidden areas.
Discgun
Disc projectiles can hit enemies more than once. Projectiles bounce more times as the Discgun levels up. Great for combining with Equipment Mods. Final tier causes maximum chaos.

This is the fastest shooting weapon, but its damage is light. Starts off by shooting in a wide spray. Will grow more accurate. Will shoot faster as you level it up. Great for using while strafing.
Blaster
Blaster Projectiles begin an explosion timer when the first projectile hits an enemy. From there, you should try to get as many hits as possible. The more projectiles attached to an enemy, the bigger the explosion and damage. Shooting rapidly will have the best effect.
Scanner
You used the Scanner to recover this dossier tip. All enemies must be cleared from an area to scan. Refer to the bar above the weapon swap to see if there are enemies left. A great source of information about the world of Cally's Caves 4.
Scrap Cannon
