Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (2008)

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is an open-world third-person shooter video game developed by the now defunct Pandemic Studios (known for games like Full Spectrum Warrior or The Saboteur). It is a sequel to Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. The game takes place in war-torn Venezuela following a coup by a powerful businessman. The player assumes the role of a betrayed mercenary trying to get revenge on his/her employers after a set up.

The game was released by Electronic Arts in 2008 for the PC, Xbox 360, PS2 and PS3 platforms.


The following weapons appear in the video game Mercenaries 2: World in Flames:


Handguns

Beretta 92FS

The AN tanker has a low-detail Beretta 92FS in a shoulder holster. It does not feature in the game as a usable weapon.

Norinco QJY-88

The QJY-88 machine gun is used by the PLA. Has exactly the same stats as the RPK, but a glitch allows it to shoot a virtually straight stream of bullets, giving it amazing accuracy.

This programming mistake happens with most of the guns, excluding those with a "fast" reload animation, where only the charging handle is pulled but the magazines are not messing with.

RPK

RPKs with 75-round drum magazines are used by the PLAV and VZ factions. It appears as "Automatic Rifle" in the game.

Sniper Rifles

Barrett M95

The Barrett M95 is available through the .50 Cal Anti-Materiel Rifle Kit from the AN. For some reason, it fires in semi-auto instead of being bolt-action (although there is a short delay between shots).

Norinco QBU-88

The QBU-88 is used by the PLA faction of the game. Statistically identical to the SVD. The gun has an interesting reload animation: the characters only pull the charging handle, but do not change magazines at all.

SVD Dragunov

Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum

What appears to be a slightly changed Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum appears only in the PS2 version of the game, it is the only new weapon as the PS2 version of Mercs 2 only has guns from Playground of Destruction otherwise, it does not appear in the main "NextGen" versions of the game, it is called the "Covert Sniper".

Milkor MGL Mk 1L

The Milkor MGL Mk 1L grenade launcher is seen in the hands of UP Mercenaries and can be attained via the "Grenade Launcher Drop". It appears that the reload animation of the launcher was recycled from the M4 Super 90's, because the characters do not open the cylinder, but insert the grenades as if it had a tubular magazine.
