- 711-MarkCL Rivet GunThe 711-MarkCL Rivet Gun was a high-pressure rivet launcher built by Timson Tools for deep space miners and engineers. A repair tool by design, it became a survivor''s weapon in the Necromorph outbreaks, pinning creatures with rivets that could be detonated into a storm of shrapnel.
- Bullpup RifleThe Bullpup Rifle was the standard issued rifle of the Sovereign Colonies Armed Forces. Carried by Legionaries during the expedition to Tau Volantis, it was a fast firing, accurate weapon that long outlived the soldiers who first fielded it.
- Contact BeamThe C99 Supercollider Contact Beam was a heavy mining tool, a miniaturized particle accelerator built to pound and shatter the toughest ore and meteors so the minerals inside could be extracted. Survivors used its charged kinetic discharge against the strongest Necromorphs.
- DetonatorThe Detonator was a seismic survey tool that deployed laser tripmines onto almost any surface. Built for drilling prospection, it was reworked by survivors of the Necromorph outbreaks into a trap that detonated when its laser beams were broken.
- DivetThe Divet was a compact automatic pistol issued as a standard sidearm to crew and security personnel of the Concordance Extraction Corporation. It fired laser-sliced lead slugs and was used widely by P-Sec officers during the Aegis VII and Ishimura incidents.
- Handheld Graviton AcceleratorThe Handheld Graviton Accelerator, better known as the Force Gun, was a short range kinetic mining tool that blasted rock apart and shifted debris in zero gravity. Survivors of the Necromorph outbreaks used its concussive blast to hurl the creatures back and tear off their limbs.
- Javelin GunThe Javelin Gun was a telemetric survey tool built by Timson Tools to fire titanium spikes at high speed with great accuracy and piercing power. On the Sprawl it became a survivor''s weapon, pinning Necromorphs to walls and electrifying its planted spikes to clear the creatures in numbers.
- Kinesis ModuleThe Kinesis Module, also called G.R.I.P., was a small plug-in device that let engineers grab and move heavy objects through an artificial gravity field. It was standard equipment for space construction work and became one of the few improvised weapons survivors had against the Necromorphs.
- Line GunThe IM-822 Handheld Ore Cutter Line Gun was a wide-beamed mining tool built to shear apart heavy ore that lighter equipment could not cut. Survivors of the Necromorph outbreaks repurposed its broad horizontal beam and its laser mines as a weapon.
- PFM-100 Hydrazine Torch FlamethrowerThe PFM-100 Hydrazine Torch Flamethrower was an industrial tool built to melt the ice that trapped ore inside comets and frozen meteors. Survivors of the Necromorph outbreaks repurposed its long cone of hydrazine flame as a weapon.
- Plasma CutterThe Plasma Cutter was a family of handheld mining tools built to cut through ore and rock with a focused bolt of ionized plasma. Compact and precise, it became the most common improvised weapon of survivors during the Necromorph outbreaks.
- RipperThe RC-DS Remote Control Disc Ripper was a mining tool that hovered a diamond-coated tungsten sawblade on a gravity tether to hack through solid rock. Notoriously dangerous in untrained hands, it became a close-range weapon in the Necromorph outbreaks.
- Seeker RifleThe Seeker Rifle was a long-range marksman rifle carried by EarthGov security forces and Earth Defense Force soldiers. Built for precision fire at a distance, it could sever the limbs of a Necromorph with a well-placed shot.
- SH-B1 Plasma SawThe SH-B1 Plasma Saw was a hand-portable mining tool built for excavation and ore extraction, cutting through rock and metal with a sheath of plasma riding on rotating superconducting teeth. On the Sprawl the agent Vandal turned one on the Necromorphs.
- Submachine GunThe Submachine Gun was a compact standard-issue sidearm of the later 26th century, carried widely by both the Circle and EarthGov forces. John Carver handed one to Isaac Clarke at the start of their journey to Tau Volantis.
- SWS Motorized Pulse RifleThe SWS Motorized Pulse Rifle was the standard-issue service rifle of the Earth Defense Force Marines, a triple-barreled rapid-fire weapon firing ultra-low caliber rounds designed for shipboard combat. It became one of the most common arms carried by survivors of the Necromorph outbreaks.
