Yet, no amount of experience can prepare you for what you’ll encounter inThe Callisto Protocol.
These deformed, otherworldly monstrosities will make your stomach churn.
Not to mention send chills down your spine and make your heart skip a beat.
Admittedly, there are not a whole lot of weapons to choose from inThe Callisto Protocol.
Which, evidently, is the case majority of the time.
However, the Stun Baton is also one of the best weapons during the early-mid stages of the game.
That is if you’re good at utilizing the dodge mechanic.
Assault Rifle
Typically assault rifles are your go-to weapon in any shooting game.
However, that’s not so much the case.
Leaving it one step behind the pack.
However, a couple of upgrades due make it more worthwhile.
But you’ll quickly come to find it’s just not as effective as our top three picks.
Hand Cannon
You get the Hand Cannon during the Outbreak Chapter.
The only downfall is that it is more or less a skill shot-bang out weapon.
Meaning you’ll want to make every shot count.
However, that’s not the feature that makes it one of the best weapons in the game.
You’ll find the Hand Cannon most powerful when you get the TK23 Boom Bullet upgrade.
As we can’t count how many times the explosive rounds have bailed us out against tough late-game enemies.
This is all thanks to its high damage which fires a cluster of rounds with remarkable area damage.
Take this gun to the late-game atrocities you’ll encounter and they’ll be the ones fleeing from you.
you’re able to obtain it after crawling through a vent in the Aftermath chapter.
Its only downfall is the mag capacity which is quite small and will constantly require reloading.
It wields high damage, similar to the Skunk Gun, but with a much bigger mag size.
With the explosive round upgrade, the Riot Gun will one-shot every enemy, except bosses of course.
However, the feeling of one-shotting a Biophage will never get old.
This gun will be your go-to savior against mobs of enemies, high-level mutations, and horrific bosses.
