Alan Wake 2 is 2023 survival horror game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Epic Games, a direct sequel to 2010's Alan Wake, and set in the same universe as Remedy's previous game Control.
13 years after famed crime novelist Alan Wake disappeared, FBI Special Agent Saga Anderson is dispatched to the small town of Bright Falls, Washington to investigate a series of grisly ritualistic murders. Amidst her investigation, which quickly takes unexpected and terrifying turns, Saga finds pages of a manuscript detailing the events of her investigation as well as events yet to pass. All the while, Alan Wake remains trapped in the otherworldly Dark Place, trying to write an exit through Saga's adventure in the real world.
The following weapons appear in the video game Alan Wake 2:
Overview
In contrast to the more action-horror themed gameplay of previous installments, Alan Wake 2 is more survival horror in its presentation. Inventory management akin to the Resident Evil series must be performed, with various supplies found throughout the game world, along with slower-paced combat. As in previous games, the primary enemies are "Taken"- humans, animals, and objects possessed by a dark force, who are vulnerable to light. Players control two protagonists, Saga Anderson and Alan Wake, who each have unique weapons. Saga can upgrade her weapons using manuscript fragments found throughout the game.
Each weapon also has different animations when used in conjunction with a flashlight. Handguns are held with a flashlight using the Harries technique.
Handguns
Colt Python
The Colt Python with a 4" barrel returns from the previous two games, and is Alan's signature sidearm. It is once again simply known as "Revolver". It shares generic "pistol ammunition" pickups with the Glock 19, which are marked as 9x19mm rounds. It is automatically acquired in Initiation 2: Casey.
Glock 19
Saga Anderson's sidearm is the "Service Pistol," based on the Glock 19. It is the first weapon the player acquires. A slightly modified version of the Glock 19, known as the Glock 19M, is the current-issue FBI sidearm.
It holds an incorrect 12 rounds in a magazine, which can be upgraded to a still-incorrect 18 rounds. Upon upgrading the magazine capacity, the Glock gains what appears to be a 17-round magazine. Another upgrade gives it the ability to fire full-automatic.
Shotguns
Double Barreled Shotgun
The sole long gun available to Alan is a full-length 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun.
Sawed-Off Double Barrel Shotgun
The first long gun Saga acquires is a Sawed-Off Double Barreled Shotgun under the name "Sawed-off Shotgun". It is found in Return 2: The Heart, in a locked case shortly after the first encounter with a Taken.
Other
Crossbow
An unknown make of crossbow is available to Saga, found in Return 3: Local Girl in one of cult stashes. Per video game tradition regarding crossbows, it deals immense damage to single targets, but is hampered by its long reload times. It can be upgraded to hold two bolts at once.
