First you have to select a payload. Use the console command "payload". Then you have to light up the entry point and call the airstrike (console command "airstrike", look in the direction where the airstrike will arrive. Must be sky, of course). The pilot will tell you the approximated time of arrival (Depends how far the pilot is). THEN light up the target (look in the direction and wait there for the airstrike to arrive). The airstrike will be called off if you die.

Console commands:

22. Auto-Shotgun
Like the normal shotgun, but shoots bursts of three shells.

Fire rate: Good (Burst)
Damage: Medium

23. Freezer
Chill out! The freezer's here. Shoot someone with it and it'll make him/her/it look COOL. You can charge up the freezer by holding the fire button. It uses one slug per second. For full charge, hold the fire button for 10 seconds. It'll beep and you'll know you're ready to turn someone cold-blooded. For each second you charge the freezer, the time how long the target will be frozen increases by two. E.g. Load it for 2 seconds, your target will freeze for 4 seconds. So when you hear a beep, run like hell! Got it?

Fire rate: Charge
Damage: A little
Ammo used: 1 slug / second

24. Disruptor
Ok. So I shoot this guy with this disruptor thing and what do I see? The cells start homing towards the guy, slowly gaining him as he makes a poor attempt to evade 'em. Ok, what do I see next? I see this guy lying on the floor, looking like a god damn Swiss cheese!

Fire rate: Excellent
Damage: Medium
Ammo used: 2 cells

25. Nail Bomb a.k.a. Eraser Bomb
What do we have to say? You throw it, it jumps above your head, explodes and shoots nails all over. You know, those spiky little things that sting...

Fire rate: As fast as you can throw grenades
Damage: Medium
Ammo used: 3 grenades

26. Flak Grenade
Like the nail bomb, but spits out flaks.

Fire rate: As fast as you can throw grenades
Damage: Medium
Ammo used: 4 grenades

27. Rail Bomb
Like the other grenades, but the target feels considerable pain ;) . In other words it jumps high in the air, shoots rail slugs all around it and then explodes.

Fire rate: As fast as you can throw grenades
Damage: Er...high, we'd say...
Ammo used: 5 grenades

28. Bio Grenade
Yup, the every soldier's favourite in one handy grenade! The behaviour of the grenade is same as the other grenades. Anyway, here's a short field manual for using the bio grenade : 1. You have to get some grenades for the bio grenade 2. Find your enemies 3. Get a wicked grin over your face as you pull the pin 4. Watch and listen that joyful (if you are sadistic enough) play between your enemies and the bio grenade(s)...

Fire rate: As fast as you can throw grenades
Damage: High
Ammo used: 5 grenades

29. EMP Grenade
You can't do much damage with this one, but it's actually meant for destroying proximity mines, motion detectors, laser tripwires and detpipes in the range of 500 units.

Fire rate: As fast as you can throw grenades
Damage: Tickles me
Ammo used: 3 grenades

30. Cluster Grenade
Works like the Cluster Bombs but in a handy little package which you can wrap up and take to your friends.

Fire rate: As fast as you can throw grenades
Damage: High assuming all clusters hit the target
Ammo used: 4 grenades

31. Freeze Grenade
Toss this one at some unlucky bastard to freeze him and his friends surrounding him for 5 seconds. But remember to stay away or you'll freeze yourself.

Fire rate: As fast as you can throw grenades
Damage: Slight
Ammo used: 3 grenades

32. Wall Piercing Railgun
Oooh yeah... Just when you feel like you're safe behind that wall, a guy comes and rails the shit out of ya. You get the idea. It's not a new weapon, merely a new feature for the old faithful railgun we all used to love... Oh, and the slug slows down as it travels inside the wall, so if you shoot through a fall it won't cause as much damage as a straight hit.

Fire rate: Slow
Damage: High / Depends
Ammo used: 1 slug

New features

1. Lasersight
Lasersight is like the normal crosshair, but with more accuracy. It appears as a red dot. If you see one in your HUD, run. Sniper Rifle and Lasersight is a deadly combination for campers. The lasersight has two modes: Normal and Spotlight. Spotlight mode is quite useful especially when you play with Lights Out!

Console commands:
"lasersight" Turn on Lasersight, switch modes

2. Tractor Beam
You can use Tractor Beam to throw the enemy in front of you around with high velocity. The damage depends on how high you throw him, or where you throw him ;)

"pull" Pull with Tractor Beam

3. ID Command
ID Command displays the name and range of players.

When activated, you can jump like in moon.

Console commands:
"storelocation" Store your current location
"teleport" Teleport to the stored location
