Just Cause 2 Weapons

This article has been evaluated to be at quality level 5.
This article may seem complete to the untrained eye, but the gaps in information are still large enough for this elite team of Panauan Ninjas to hide inside of.

This article is about all the weapons in Just Cause 2. For any other kind of weapons see weapons - disambiguation.

The weapons, featured in the DLC "Boom Pack". Strangely the Quad Rocket Launcher is backwards.

Introduction

There are at least 23 different weapons in Just Cause 2, varying from small arms to assault rifles and heavy weaponry. Each weapon has different stats, such as magazine size, damage, accuracy, and rate of fire. All handheld weapons, except Happy Bubble Blaster, rapid-firing rocket launcher used by Pandak Panay and DLC weapons, can be found in crates across the entire Map and on Panauan soldiers. Portable miniguns can often be found on military bases. DLC weapons can only be bought from the Black Market.

Differences from the weapons in JC1

Unlike Just Cause (1), no weapon in Just Cause 2 have manufacturer or model names and are simply named as weapon types. For example, in Just Cause (1), there were two assault rifles, the Adler FF M-72 and Haswell Gen2 Vindicator. The manufacturers were Adler and Haswell and the models were FF M-72 and Gen2 Vindicator. In Just Cause 2, there are two assault rifles. One is simply named "Assault Rifle", which is based on the M4 assault rifle. The Bull's Eye Assault Rifle also doesn't have manufacturer and model names and "Bull's eye" may be just a nickname.

This difference means the weapons in Just Cause 2 are simpler and easier to talk about and understand. It also means that there are fewer kinds of weapons available. There are 10 standard weapons in Just Cause 2 to the 18 in Just Cause (1), although with the addition of DLC, there are 2 more types of rocket launchers, another type of grenade launcher, another type of assault rifle, another type of revolver and an uncertain class of weapon, matching the 18 from the first game and also providing a greater variety.

Weapons can also now be called in via heavy drop and can be upgraded via the Black Market.

One of the loading images shows a Panauan grunt in front of a Propaganda Trailer, holding what looks like an AK-47. This rifle doesn't appear in the game.
