Latest revision as of 22:19, 31 December 2022
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.
Colt M1911A1
An M1911A1 pistol is engraved on Blanco's belt's plate.
IMI/Magnum Desert Eagle Mark XIX
Jamaican Pirates are using Desert Eagle Mark XIX pistols. It incorrectly holds 15 rounds and, strangely, its performance is identical to the P226's.
Luger P08 Artillery
A Luger P08 Artillery is used by General Carmona in several cutscenes. This weapon is not usable by the player.
SIG-Sauer P226
As in real life, the Venezuelan Army uses SIG-Sauer P226 pistols. They are also seen in UP or PLAV hands. Appears simply as "Pistol" in the game.
Smith & Wesson Model 500
Blanco carries a Smith & Wesson Model 500 with wooden grips. Can be obtained by the player after killing Blanco. Also can be obtained by players in "Blanco's Favorites" supply drop with cheats. Very powerful, often a one hit kill.
Submachine Guns
Chang Feng CF-05
An early version of the Chang Feng CF-05 SMG is carried by Chinese sailors and officers, as well as tank drivers and rocket carrying troops. The CF-05 holds a correct 50 rounds, but offers low damage and lame accuracy.
Heckler & Koch MP5SD3
The internally-suppressed Heckler & Koch MP5SD3 is one of the many purchasable Supply Drops in the game (Known as "Covert Kit")
IMI Micro Uzi
