Automatic guns are high-rate-of-fire weapons designed for suppressive fire, crowd control, and overwhelming force in sustained combat. This category includes submachine guns, assault rifles, and light machine guns, capable of firing multiple rounds with a single trigger pull. In Cosmic Odyssey, these weapons often feature recoil compensation, heat dissipation systems, and modular targeting tech, allowing users to maintain accuracy during extended engagements. Though they consume ammunition quickly and can be harder to control, their ability to saturate an area with fire makes them ideal for close-quarters battles, ambushes, and suppressive tactics. Favored by commandos, vanguard troops, and heavy assault specialists.
Automatic guns cannot be magical.
Blunt weapons are melee arms designed to deliver crushing force rather than cutting or piercing. This category includes clubs, maces, batons, and warhammers, typically wielded with one or two hands depending on size and build. While they generally lack the finesse of swords or knives, blunt weapons excel at breaking bones, denting armor, and staggering opponents. In Cosmic Odyssey, many are reinforced with dense modern alloys, allowing them to remain effective even against contemporary combat gear. Their impact can bypass certain defenses, making them especially useful against heavily armored foes or constructs. Often favored by enforcers, riot troops, and brawlers, blunt weapons offer raw, brutal efficiency in close-range combat.
Bows and crossbows are precision ranged weapons that rely on mechanical force to launch projectiles over long distances. This category includes traditional longbows, compact shortbows, and both manual and semi-automatic crossbows. Bows offer rapid firing and adaptability, while crossbows provide higher accuracy and armor-piercing bolts at the cost of reload time. In Cosmic Odyssey, modern variants often integrate advanced materials and targeting aids, making them viable even against lightly armored or shielded opponents. These weapons excel in silent takedowns, hunting, and tactical engagements where stealth, control, and reliability are essential. Favored by rangers, infiltrators, and specialized marksmen.
Handguns and shotguns are close- to mid-range firearms designed for versatility, speed, and stopping power. This category includes pistols, revolvers, signal flare guns, and both pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns. Handguns offer quick draw and rapid fire, ideal for sidearm use or tight quarters. Shotguns, while slower to reload, deliver devastating force at short range and are highly effective against unarmored or lightly armored targets.
In Cosmic Odyssey, these weapons are often enhanced with smart targeting, variable ammunition, and recoil dampeners, making them adaptable across combat scenarios. Favored by operatives, enforcers, and those who expect combat in confined or unpredictable environments.
Knives are compact melee weapons designed for speed, concealment, and precision. Ranging from utility blades to combat daggers, they are typically used one-handed and excel in close-quarters combat or stealth operations. Their short reach is offset by their speed and effectiveness in confined spaces. In Cosmic Odyssey, modern knives are crafted from advanced materials that allow them to penetrate light to medium armor, making them deadly in the hands of trained users. Often favored as off-hand weapons, they are commonly paired with a larger primary weapon or used for rapid follow-up strikes. Scouts, assassins, and survivalists also rely on them as tools or backup arms in situations where agility and subtlety are key.
Large melee weapons are oversized blades and blunt instruments designed for overwhelming power and reach. This category includes greatswords, mauls, greathammers, and oversized axes, typically requiring two hands to wield effectively. These weapons deliver devastating strikes capable of cleaving through armor, barriers, and even multiple enemies in a single swing. In Cosmic Odyssey, they are often reinforced with advanced materials to maintain structural integrity and maximize kinetic transfer. While slower and more cumbersome than smaller weapons, their sheer impact makes them ideal for frontline assault, brute force tactics, and breaking enemy lines. Large melee weapons are favored by berserkers, heavy infantry, and warriors who rely on strength over finesse.
Rifles are precision firearms designed for mid- to long-range engagements, offering a balance of accuracy, power, and rate of fire. This category includes hunting rifles, tactical carbines, and advanced semi-automatic models. Rifles excel at engaging targets at distance with reliable penetration, making them effective against both organic and armored opponents. In Cosmic Odyssey, rifles are often equipped with scopes, smart-link systems, and custom ammunition for enhanced performance across varied environments. While less maneuverable in tight spaces, their versatility and stopping power make them a primary choice for marksmen, soldiers, and tactical units operating in open terrain or structured combat zones.
Swords are versatile melee weapons prized for their balance of speed, reach, and cutting power. Typically one to two meters in length, they include one-handed blades like short swords and sabers, as well as two-handed weapons such as longswords and bastard swords. Most are wielded with one or two hands depending on style and strength. Swords excel in close to mid-range combat, offering sweeping attacks, thrusts, and defensive parries.
In Cosmic Odyssey, swords are forged from advanced alloys designed to cut through modern armor, ensuring their continued relevance on the battlefield. Historically symbols of honor and personal mastery, they remain favored by duelists, guards, and elite warriors for their adaptability and precision.
Thrown weapons are designed for short- to mid-range attacks using muscle power alone. This category includes hand-axes, javelins, darts, and throwing knives - each optimized for flight stability and penetration. They are typically lightweight, balanced for accuracy, and quick to deploy. In Cosmic Odyssey, many thrown weapons are enhanced with modern materials or microtech for improved performance and armor penetration. Though limited by range and the number a character can carry, they offer flexibility, stealth, and surprise in both open combat and ambush situations. Thrown weapons are favored by scouts, hunters, and skirmishers who value mobility and precision over sustained firepower.
