Handguns

Master handguns in RoboCop: Rogue City. Learn about the Auto-9, other sidearms, upgrades, and effective combat tactics.

Handguns are the backbone of RoboCop's arsenal, offering reliability and versatility in almost any combat scenario. From his signature Auto-9 to other sidearms, mastering these weapons is essential for survival in Old Detroit.

The Auto-9: Your Primary Handgun

The Auto-9 is RoboCop's standard-issue sidearm. It's a semi-automatic pistol with a good balance of rate of fire, accuracy, and damage. While it might not boast the stopping power of a shotgun or rifle, its consistent performance makes it an invaluable tool. You can upgrade the Auto-9 through the skill tree and by finding weapon mods, significantly enhancing its effectiveness.

Other Handgun Variants

As you progress through RoboCop: Rogue City, you may encounter other types of handguns. These can include:

• Revolvers: Often slower to fire but with higher individual shot damage.
• Machine Pistols: Offer a higher rate of fire, similar to SMGs but in a handgun form factor.

Each handgun has its own statistical profile, affecting damage, fire rate, accuracy, and magazine capacity. Experiment with different handguns to find one that suits your preferred combat style.

Effective Use of Handguns

Handguns are best suited for:

• Close to medium-range engagements.
• Finishing off weakened enemies.
• Situations where ammunition for heavier weapons is scarce.
• Maintaining accuracy while on the move.

Handgun Upgrades and Mods

Investing in handgun upgrades via the skill tree can yield significant benefits:

• Increased Damage: Makes each shot more lethal.
• Larger Magazine Capacity: Allows for longer firing bursts before reloading.
• Faster Reload Speed: Reduces downtime between engagements.
• Improved Accuracy: Crucial for landing precise shots at range.

Weapon mods found in the environment can further enhance these stats. Look for mods that increase critical hit chance or add elemental effects if available.

Combat Tactics with Handguns

• Aim for the head: Headshots deal critical damage and can quickly neutralize enemies.
• Utilize cover: Pop out from cover to fire, then retreat to reload or regenerate armor.
• Combine with abilities: Use your tactical visor to identify weak points, then exploit them with your handgun.
• Switch when necessary: If facing heavily armored enemies or large groups, don't hesitate to switch to a more appropriate weapon.

Ammunition Management

While handgun ammunition is generally more plentiful than that for heavy weapons, it's still important to manage it effectively. Prioritize using your handgun for standard encounters and save heavier ammo for tougher situations.
