Introduction

Please note: all credit goes to Rebellion!

By the power of Ra! An abundance of amulets, a spectacle of special weapons! But what do they all do?

Each of the characters in Strange Brigade has four unique abilities associated with the amulets they wield. Besides their starting ability, these must be unlocked by collecting sets of relics scattered throughout the game. You can check your progress by looking in your journal, on the main Campaign menu.

Special weapons can be found in chests. There will be a fee to open these, but as long as you have the gold, you can keep trying your luck to find just the right gun for you.

Shotguns

Sometimes you find yourself overwhelmed, up-close and too-personal with the dread undead. When a regular shotgun isn’t quite the ticket, you need one with something extra. The Krakatoa sprays fire, even at a distance, and the Shockgun smites your foes with lightning. The Blunderbuss has no extra status effect, unless you count “into little bits”.

Krakatoa

  • Ammo: 1/20

Shockgun

  • Ammo: 2/18

Blunderbuss

  • Ammo: 12/00
