Contagion (VG): Difference between revisions
Contagion is a game produced by Monochrome Games that is the spiritual successor to Zombie Panic! Source, with several elements and references borrowed from the Resident Evil series, specifically Resident Evil Outbreak. The game was distributed via Steam and Desura on October 25th, 2013.
The following weapons appear in the video game Contagion:
The 9x19mm SIG Pro SP2340 has a capacity of 15 rounds and features a flashlight attachment. The Sig is the most basic of guns, with a big magazine size and reasonably easy to find ammo making it one of the more useful firearms.
The M1911A1 has a 7-round magazine and comes equipped with a flashlight and is modeled with adjustable night sights, nickel finish and wood grips. Somewhat curiously, the ammunition boxes are marked .357 Magnum. The game developers have indicated that this will likely change in a future update as it has caused confusion among players. The 1911 is a potent weapon and can serve as a replacement for the Sig if one can keep up their supply of .45 ACP.
An update released on December 12th, 2013 included a new weapon labeled simply the Revolver. The game developers indicated that it is similar to that found in Zombie Panic: Source. Its reloaded by two half-moon clips and does not feature a flashlight. The Revolver is a powerful piece to say the least, with heavy recoil to temper it's high power.
The Mossberg 590 appears as one of the games shotguns. Fitted with ghost-ring sights with tritium inserts as well as a flashlight attachment, the "Mossberg590" as the game calls it is a perfect all rounder weapon.
The over-under shotgun appears as the "Over & Under". While it doesn't have the higher firerate of the 870 or the Mossberg 590, it can fire both barrels very fast if the fire button is held down. The O/U is a decent weapon for normal modes and allows you to conserve ammo without getting too crazy, but ditch it if you get it in PvP.
A rather heavily modified Remington 870 appears in the game as the "Remington 870". Said Remington is modified with a usable flashlight, reflex red dot sight, silver finish similar to a Mossberg 500 Mariner, and not one, but two side mounted saddle shell holders. The Remington 870 is a mixed weapon, while boasting an easy to read red dot and flashlight, doesn't pack as many rounds as the Mossberg.
The Heckler & Koch MP5K is one of two 9x19mm submachine guns featured in the game. It features a 30-round magazine and a flashlight. While still a bullethose, the MP5K is a much better choice over the Tec-9, as it comes with a flashlight and is much more accurate.
The opposite to the MP5k, the Tec-9 appears as the "KG9", named after it's older cousin and comes converted to full auto. Boasting a 30-round magazine and higher rate of fire in comparison with the MP5k, it also boasts significantly reduced accuracy as well.
The AR-15 Carbine is a rather generic M4A1-style carbine rifle fitted with a RIS handguard and a flip up rear sight as well as a usable flashlight. It fires in full auto, like the following AKS-74u and is loaded from 30-round Magpul PMAG. The AR-15 is the most basic of rifles, reasonably accurate and doesn't fire too fast as to waste ammo.
The AKS-74U, serves as the opposite to the AR-15 and is named the "AK74u" in-game, and comes with either a 38-round magazine. It fires in full auto and doesn't get a flashlight attachment. While being more inaccurate and without a flashlight, the AKS-74U's fast rate of fire does make it very useful on the PvP "Hunted" mode.
The Browning BLR appears as the other rifle in .30-06, the "BLR". It doesn't mount a scope, but does allow use of iron sights. The BLR is a interesting choice, firing about as fast as the Remington 700 and allowing for some reasonably accurate shots, though it doesn't fire as fast as the M1 Garand.
The only suppressed weapon in the game so far is a FN SCAR-L, known as the "SCAR". Said SCAR-L comes with a rather small suppressor as well as a foregrip. The SCAR-L is another basic weapon with a slight twist. It fires in full and comes in use on "Hunted" maps as well as trying to sneak as the gunshots are pretty faint from any distance away.
The third weapon in the game chambered in .30-06 is the famous M1 Garand. Named the "M1 Garand", the Garand serves as the only semi-automatic weapon in the powerful .30-06 round. The Garand is a good weapon, with a fast reload and easy to read sights in comparison to the BLR.
The Remington 700 serves as the scoped hunting rifle of the game and comes chambered in .30-06. It boasts a fixed 4 round magazine and a scope, but no flashlight. The Remington is the generic hunting rifle, powerful, slow to load but accurate to long distances.
A M26 appears in the game as it's resident hand grenade. A decent explosive weapon, the M26 can very easily deal with 1-2 zombies and a hapless survivor if thrown well.
A IED appears as a weapon. It can be planted on wall and then is detonated by the in-game cell phone. The IED is a powerful explosive weapon, most likely due to being a block of C4 with a phone taped to it. It's powerful enough to deal with a decent sized horde of zombies as well as any survivor in a PvP match.
A modern, scoped crossbow can be found in-game. The crossbow is a basic weapon, allowing for long distance kills reasonably quietly, at a cost of being hard to use in close quarters and having a long reload.
The other bow-type weapon appears as the "Compound" and appears to be based off of the PSE Deer Hunter. The bow is another weapon to use when you've collected a ton of bolts. It's more suited for closer quarters than the crossbow, but is a bit harder to use.
