Lancer

E-Day has two Lancers: the hard-kicking MK1 / Retro with a blade bayonet, and the faster-firing Prototype Chainsaw Lancer. The campaign tells the story of how the chainsaw rifle came to be.

Gnasher

The E-Day Gnasher holds six shells and uses round-by-round Active Reload. You can top up one or two shells and resume shooting, making short reloads a useful part of close-range fights.

Longshot

Longshot returns for patient precision fire in E-Day’s campaign. Scope sway, shoulder switching and projectile travel time make the firing position and the target's movement part of lining up a shot.

Breechshot

Breechshot returns with a one-shot headshot kill in PvP, an interruptible round-by-round Active Reload and an axe attachment for executions. It is a separate weapon from Longshot.

Hammerburst

E-Day's Hammerburst uses an accurate six-round burst inspired by the original Gears of War. A Perfect Active Reload increases its rate of fire; its damage was increased for multiplayer launch after the August beta.

Snub Pistol

The Snub is E-Day's quick-draw sidearm for finishing a damaged enemy. Its launch rate of fire was reduced from the August beta, so old tap-fire demonstrations are not a reliable guide to the current firing pace.

Heavy & Special Weapons

E-Day's Heavy Boomshot is an oversized prototype; heavy guns slow movement but support most movement actions and can be removed from turret bases. New special weapons include the controlled-detonation Gut Puncher and the Imulsion-fueled Incinerator.
