Rare inconsistently call the pistol a shotgun or a pistol. Its more often called a shotgun (all of the ammo crates).
In the maps, just the weapon code means ammunition. Weapon code with "-F" means full ammunition. Weapon code with "+" means increased capacity.
These are the main weapons, in order of increasing usefulness.
Shotgun (Pistol)
Basically the weapon you use when all of your better weapons are out of ammo.
It only fires 6 shots, then you have to wait.
Ideal for shooting things that don't shoot back,
eg. wall switches, windows.
Machine Gun
Ideal for downing large numbers of flying units.
Removes any need for accuracy and timing.
Not so good against armored or shielded opponents.
Tri-Rocket Launcher
The best weapon so far. Blasts armored and shielded bugs with no problem.
Weapons of dubious usefulness at any time.
Plasma Shotgun
Takes time to build up a charge,
then the result is less powerful than the Tri-Rocket Launcher.
Grenade
Its best to just let the bugs use them,
and try to shoot them before they reach you.
The bugs are good at making yours blow up just as you throw them.
Useless unless the enemy is in a very confined space.
Non weapons used like weapons.
Fish Food
Makes fish grow bigger. Booby prize.
If running low on ammunition or health, don't be afraid to back track to an earlier room and replenish.
Don't be too fussed about getting killed. Even tho you have to do the whole level again, you don't loose any keys or weapons you have found. This means you can skip areas, and you have an easier time of it. Besides you have to come back and do every level again, as somethings are just impossible the first time thru.
