All Heavy Weapons in The Outer Worlds 2

As more Heavy Weapons are revealed, we will update this guide with details on where to find them and how to use them effectively.

Armageddon

Armageddon is another science weapon revealed for The Outer Worlds 2. This weapon is described as firing masses made up of little arms that stick to enemies or the environment. These masses continue to hit their targets over and over again until they are destroyed, making it an unusual and aggressive option during combat.

Big Bang

The Big Bang is one of the largest and most devastating science weapons in the game. It uses material harvested from the rifts to shoot a giant ball of energy capable of vaporizing everything in its path. Because the ammunition for this weapon is extremely rare, it is a weapon best reserved for dangerous situations where maximum firepower is required.

Boarst Blaster

The Boarst Blast is a unique weapon that fires out large tumors like grenades. In fact, these tumors can explode just like a grenade. The tumors, if not exploded can be eaten by the player for a small bit of health though they are toxic. Overall, the firing speed looks slow but the tumor spread large so it could be a good AOE type of weapon. However, the range fall off on the Boarst Blaster seems to be it’s biggest issue and it might just be a fun weapon to use rather than a meta-defining one.

Bullet Blender

The Bullet Blender uses ammunition from your inventory, thus not requiring the player to reload. What makes this weapon unique is that using different ammunition causes the weapon to fire differently. As you can imagine, this might be y our go-to weapon when ammunition is plenty for a weapon type you do not use and you can’t afford to reload frequently in combat.

Popup Gun

One of the most humourous weapons, showing Outer Worlds 2 political theme is the Popup Gun. This gun fires drones that distract enemies with corporate advertisements, jingles, and slogans. Imagine walking through Las Vegas getting harrassed by endless amounts of people trying to hand you advertisements? Well, that’s the Popup Gun except with drones.

An interesting mechanic of the weapon is you can explode the drones upon reload. So while it has a silly concept, it might be effective and a bit silly. The Outer Worlds 2 is likely to keep poking fun at capitalism and corporate greed and this weapon is one way to do that!
