Weapons are the main piece of equipment for Mechs. You can install up to 2 Weapons on a Mech. The corresponding Pilot can improve every Weapon's characteristics.

- Type - the category the Weapon falls into, based on its use or capabilities

- Perk - a unique characteristic of a Weapon - Power - an approximation of a Weapon's overall strength in combat (damage potential, unique properties, accuracy, etc.)
- Damage Per Magazine - Damage dealt before needing to reload, hitting at ideal range
- Damage per Shot - Damage dealt by a single shot, hitting at ideal range
- Fire Rate - number of shots the Weapon can fire in one minute (not including reloading)
- Optimal Range - distance at which the Weapon can deal the most Damage per shot
- Max Range - maximum distance at which Damage can be dealt
- Magazine - number of shots the Weapon can fire before needing to be reloaded
- Reload Speed - how quickly the weapon can be reloaded
- Accuracy - how close a shot will be to the center of the crosshair
