======================= - 4) Weapons & Items - ======================= The necessity to survive is often met by little to no resistance. In this game, it's met by a whole lot of resistance. This section will briefly go over the weapons & items available in the game. I'd like to give credit to:
- http://www.postalnetwork.org/
for a reference list of the official names of the weapons, and a reference list of the items.
________ /Weapons/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= NAME: Shovel POWER: ** ACCURACY: ** RANGE: * OVERALL: *** >> The shovel is the most powerful melee weapon in the game. It's the only melee weapon that causes full decapitations. This comes at the cost of a somewhat slower speed when swinging the shovel. Still, it's very useful, very funny, and has a quicker stab attack by right-clicking.
NAME: Baton POWER: * ACCURACY: *** RANGE: * OVERALL: ** >> The baton is the melee weapon for police officers and its usefulness comes in the fact that it is small and quick to attack. As a melee weapon, it hardly packs a punch, and it's best to both melee kick and melee swing when using this item.
NAME: Stun Gun POWER: *** ACCURACY: ** RANGE: * OVERALL: **** >> The stun gun is a rare but useful weapon in that it doesn't necessarily kill people (unless you decide to hold down the taze to kill someone). Initially, it can harm and stun people by a quick jolt of electricity. If you hold it down, you eventually fry the person and give them a nice smoked death.
NAME: Pistol POWER: ** ACCURACY: **** RANGE: **** OVERALL: **** >> The pistol, as default as it sounds, is a great weapon to use even later in the game. This weapon has extreme accuracy when crouched, and since it is so common, has practically limitless ammo. Very useful on long-range targets, and becomes less useful the closer an opponent is. Still a premiere weapon for getting precise headshots.
NAME: Shotgun POWER: *** ACCURACY: ** RANGE: ** OVERALL: ** >> The shotgun suffers from spread-itis. It is the only weapon in the game that can incinerate the head of an opponent with one direct shotgun blast, regardless of the armor status of the target. However, you must be extremely close for this to happen, and the shotgun suffers in taking down targets quickly and efficiently. You will take a lot of hits if you only wield a shotgun, and it must be pump-reloaded.
NAME: Rifle POWER: *** ACCURACY: *** RANGE: *** OVERALL: **** >> The rifle is another situational weapon. It wreaks havoc when you are being overrun in that you can fire in bursts manually, or decide to go full-auto. The weapon is somewhat uncommon, and you'll expend ammo like a rich kid at a penny candy store. Nonetheless, it is very useful later on in the game when the abundance of rifles is common. Great for getting automatic fire headshots. It suffers in range though, and has natural deviation on long-range shots. There is no way to switch it to semi-auto fire.
NAME: Gas Can POWER: *** ACCURACY: * RANGE: ** OVERALL: ** >> A quirky inconsistent weapon that is fun to use in certain situations, and frustrating in others. What you do is hold down the left click to spill gasoline (on the ground, on a target, anywhere). Then, you must right-click to toss a match in the gasoline spilt area. This will cause fire to arise. The fire can spread onto yourself though.
NAME: Grenade POWER: ***** ACCURACY: ** RANGE: **** OVERALL: **** >> Grenades in Postal 2 wreak quite a bit of havoc. You have to hold down the primary fire button to charge up your throw. They explode after a set distance of time (~5 seconds) or will explode if they come within contact of a living body. You can also drop them directly on the ground by right-clicking. This is useful for setting up ambushes in doorways.
NAME: Molotov Cocktail POWER: **** ACCURACY: * RANGE: ***** OVERALL: *** >> The molotov cocktail is a wine bottle ignited with a white rag causing a napalm-like fire to arise. It is tossed like a normal grenade, however, when it impacts the ground, it causes fire to spread. The fire can spread to yourself causing massive damage. Molotovs are best used in tight corridors or on groups of people. Be prepared to fire bullets at the people who get caught on fire and try to run at you.
NAME: Scissors POWER: * ACCURACY: *** RANGE: *** OVERALL: ** >> Scissors are an odd weapon. They can be thrown like throwing knives, or used in a secondary attack where they will continually bounce around a room. However, damage is minimal, and they're quite rare, so using them in a gun-toting battle is a rarity. Still, they are representative of the game developers.
NAME: Hunting Rifle POWER: ***** ACCURACY: ***** RANGE: ***** OVERALL: **** >> The Hunting Rifle is another rare weapon that one shot kills enemies ONLY when zoomed in. The gun is worthless when not zoomed in. There is also a switching delay when going from zoomed to un- zoomed, or vice versa. The scope is somewhat sluggish as well. This brings down the overall rating a bit, but it pierces armor and delivers beautiful headshots.
NAME: Diseased Cow Head POWER: *** ACCURACY: ** RANGE: ** OVERALL: ** >> This is a rare weapon that consists of an old rotten cow head. When tossed, it explodes causing an orange poison to float amongst the air. If people stand in it long enough, they will get sick and puke up their own blood causing them to die. You can also drop one on the ground and shoot it from a distance for a larger radius. Hard to use in a combat-intensive situation, but fun to observe on the streets of Paradise.
NAME: Bazooka POWER: ***** ACCURACY: **** RANGE: ***** OVERALL: ***** >> The bazooka is pretty much the dominant weapon in the game. It fires a lone rocket that causes a massive explosion (identical to grenades), except it can be targetted. The rocket is fired based off of how much fuel is used. If less fuel is used, the rocket will travel a shorter distance. If charged fully, the rocket will track its target with a heat-sonar detector. Great for chasing down innocent screaming civilians. If fired in secondary mode, the rocket fires in a straight pattern.
NAME: Napalm Launcher POWER: **** ACCURACY: ** RANGE: *** OVERALL: **** >> A very rare weapon that can have devastating effects. This launches a napalm-spewing rocket that bursts into napalm everywhere. This is like a molotov cocktail x 2. Note that if you secondary fire this weapon, it causes the rocket to bounce a few times before imploding, leaving a huge radius of fire everywhere. This weapon can kill yourself so do not fire close to yourself.
______ /Items/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= NAME: Kevlar Vest OVERALL: **** >> This is armor designed to block bullets. It has the equivalency of 100 armor points. Very useful in any combat situation, but you'll only find it in occasional spurts.
NAME: SIC Body Armor OVERALL: ***** >> This is armor designed to be twice as good as Kevlar. Holds up to 200 armor points, but is VERY rare and you'll only find this once an occasion. If you do get it, prepare for an intense battle as that's why it's usually placed there.
NAME: Donut OVERALL: ** >> This is a healing item. Heals about 5 health, however, it can be used to bribe or distract cops. Simply drop one on the ground, and
