Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but alien power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons at the cost of being heavier. The 'Quenchguns' foundry project will grant all Gauss primary weapons a +1 penetration bonus against all units, which helps make Gauss weapons even more effective.

==== Plasma ====


Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons available to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. They are also impervious to damage or destruction so commanders can feel safe bringing them on late game missions. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

=== Weapon Classes ===
Several classes of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon classes are, in descending order of base damage:
 
{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon
! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|Vulcan Cannons
| 250%
|-
|LMGs, Autocannons, and MEC Weapons
| 200%
|-
|Shotguns, SAWs and Sniper Rifles
| 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles and Strike Rifles
| 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles
| 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Carbines, SMGs, Pistols and Machine Pistols
| 75%
|}
 
== Primary Weapons ==
Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.
 
===Assault Rifles===
Assault Rifles are the baseline rifle, providing a decent balance of weight, accuracy and firepower. Their base ammo is 4 (increased by Ammo Conservation), and their base damage is 100%. Assault Rifles gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Battle Rifles===
Battle Rifles are heavier versions of Assault Rifles. They trade mobility and ammo capacity for increased damage output. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by Ammo Conservation), and their base damage is 125%. Battle Rifles gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===SMGs===
SMGs (Submachine Guns) are light weapons, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They are light-weight and have high crit damage. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by ammo conservation), and their base damage is 75%. SMGs gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10).

===Shotguns===
Shotguns have limited range but high damage against non-[[Abilities List (LWR)#Hardened|'''Hardened''']] targets. Their low base crit chances are offset by proximity/flanking bonuses due to [[Other Abilities (LWR)#Pinpoint Accuracy|'''Pinpoint Accuracy''']]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%. Shotguns gain extra aim for being in close proximity to a target (+10 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-10 aim per tile further than 10).

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to aim, mobility and crit. They cannot be steadied unless paired with [[Equipment#Weapon Attachment|Alloy Bipod]]. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Burst|Burst]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Shredder|Shredder]] abilities. Their base ammo is 5 and their base damage is 150%. SAWs gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have greater damage, ammo, and provide [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]], [[Abilities List (LWR)#Burst|Burst]], and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Shredder|Shredder]] abilities; but have even less mobility, aim, crit, and remove a small equipment slot. They cannot be steadied unless paired with [[Equipment#Weapon Attachment|Alloy Bipod]]. Their base ammo is 5 and their base damage is 200%. LMGs gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Strike Rifles===
Strike Rifles are lighter versions of Sniper Rifles, restricted in use to Scouts and Snipers. They support [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]], meaning Snipers can always fire at long ranges and Scouts can with the help of a Marksman Scope. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 125%. Strike rifles lose aim for being in close proximity (-20 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are only available to Snipers. Regular shots that operate at [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]] ranges and have lower Squadsight penalties (2 aim per tile instead of 5).  Note that reaction shots do not fire at Squadsight ranges. Sniper Rifles require 2 AP to fire, and thus cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%. Sniper rifles lose aim for being in close proximity (-20 aim per tile closer than 10).

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MECs]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal heavy damage tied with SHIV autocannons. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%. MEC weapons gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Autocannons===
Autocannons are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIVs]]. They deal heavy damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different SHIV configurations. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%. Autocannons gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Vulcan Cannons===
Vulcan Cannons are heavier Autocannons also only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIVs]]. They deal the heaviest damage, but suffer from long range aim penalties and heavier weight. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 250%. Vulcan Cannons gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10).

===Arc Primary Weapons ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives bonus damage and penetration against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 100/92/80% chances respectively. The Elerium Batteries foundry project improves this further. In addition, failed stuns on aliens at or below 4 HP will [[Other Abilities (LWR)#Maim|Maim]]. The Elerium Batteries foundry project also grants an extra ammo to both weapons. Arc Rifles lose aim for being in close proximity (-20 aim per tile closer than 10).

== Secondary Weapons ==
 
LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier except Gauss, and a machine pistol for Ballistic, Gauss and Plasma.
 
'''Units that cannot use secondary weapons''': Privates, Gunners, and SHIVs
 
'''Units that cannot use sidearms and have unique secondary weapons''': Rocketeers and MECs
 
All sidearms grant the '''[[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Maim|Maim]]''' ability.
 
===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by High Capacity Pistols) and their base damage is 75%. Pistols gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10). [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] eliminates the far range penalty.
 
There are no basic Pistol equivalents for the Gauss tier.

===Autopistols===
Autopistols grant increased base damage during critical hits in exchange for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by High Capacity Pistols) and their base damage is 75%. Machine Pistols gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10). [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] eliminates the far range penalty.
 
There are no Autopistol equivalents for either Laser tier.

===Arc Pistol===
The Arc Pistol is similar to its Arc Rifle counterpart, dealing less damage but with the properties of a pistol, making it effective at close ranges instead of long ranges. Arc Pistols gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10). [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] eliminates the far range penalty.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides a short-range, high-damage secondary weapon. It is useful for soldiers that need a powerful and accurate close-range weapon to defend themselves in a pinch, but won't fare as well in prolonged firefights at range. It receives a +3 damage upgrade with the Foundry project ''Quenchguns'', bringing it up to Gauss-tier damage. It has 1 ammo, and deals 150% damage. Sawed-off Shotguns gain aim for being in close proximity (+10 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-10 aim per tile further than 10, and additional -5 aim per tile further than 10 for being a sidearm). [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] eliminates the sidearm far range penalty.

Weapon Types

Weapon Tiers

Conventional/Ballistic

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

 Base Damage: 4

Arc

There are 3 Arc Weapons: the Arc Rifle, Arc Pistol, and the Stun Rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of each, the Stun Rifle is mandatory to win the game.

The Arc Rifle and Pistol only deal full damage against Mechanical units and have hefty penetration.

Beam Lasers

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.  Beam lasers have increased accuracy and higher crit. 

 Base Damage: 4  Bonus Stats: +10 aim, +20 crit  Note: Pistol gains more crit but no aim

Gauss

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but alien power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry. 

Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons at the cost of being heavier. The 'Quenchguns' foundry project will grant all Gauss primary weapons a +1 penetration bonus against all units, which helps make Gauss weapons even more effective. 

 Base Damage: 6  Bonus Stats: +0.6 weight

Pulse Lasers

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

 Base Damage: 6  Bonus Stats: +15 aim, +30 crit  Note: Pistol gains more crit but no aim

Plasma

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons available to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. They are also impervious to damage or destruction so commanders can feel safe bringing them on late game missions. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons. 

 Base Damage:
