Deimos Rising Player Guide - Weapon Selection
To succeed in your mission you will need to master the art of changing weapons quickly and selecting the appropriate weapon for the target. The following weapons will become available to you as you progress:
![[Ion Cannon]](images/IonCannon.gif) |
Ion Cannon
The default air weapon, it launches pairs of projectiles straight ahead of the VacFighter. Useful for dealing with large numbers of lightly shielded enemies at a distance. When powered up, it releases a formidable stream of projectiles that can cut a swathe through oncoming hordes. Watch out that you don't overload it though!

Bacta Gun
A powerful weapon designed for close-range work, it fires an array of Bacta flares which spread out from the VacFighter. This weapon is ideal for dealing with light-to-medium shielded enemies that have a fast horizontal movement. Its short range also makes it a very useful money gathering tool as coins from enemy destruction will appear fairly close to the VacFighter. The tradeoff is that the powerup is not especially powerful, although it is still very effective at short range.

Rear Gun
A tactical weapon with a dual action. In normal firing mode, this gun fires pairs of projectiles to the front and the rear of the VacFighter! Ideal for those enemies that manage to get behind you! Also, the projectiles are rated for use against more heavily shielded targets, allowing you to cut through the strongest robodroid armour. When powered up, it launches Plasma Drones which hover for a short period, wreaking havoc on any enemy who strays too close to them. They can be used to lay traps for oncoming enemies, or be used as a defensive screen.

Photon Beam
An extremely powerful weapon featuring high velocity, high-energy projectiles that will obliterate all but the toughest Martian foes. Note that unlike all the other weapons, the powerup for this weapon cannot be overloaded, and has a much larger storage capacity. You can thus hold and unleash a stream of blistering energy without fear of self destruction!
