In any game with tight corridors and sudden burst out attacks from creepy creatures shotguns are a soothing presence in your armoury.

Luckily they are much more powerful so you can go straight for headshots to take down enemies. These are much more powerful than your basic handguns but they are also slower to fire and reload and they tend to hold fewer rounds. M93R – this handgun becomes available once you have fully upgraded the M92F (store purchase).SIG P226 – this handgun becomes available after Chapter 5.1 (store purchase).H&K P8 – this handgun becomes available after Chapter 3.1 (store purchase).M92F – this is your standard issue pistol and you’ll be equipped with it from the start of the game.All of the handguns can be upgraded and their performance will be dramatically improved if you do upgrade. The best approach is to shoot enemies in the legs so they stumble forward and then you can quickly get in close and follow up with a powerful melee attack. Used correctly the handguns can be very useful. Handgun ammunition is scattered around the levels quite liberally. There are a few choices in the handgun category and you will most likely always have a handgun on you during the game.
