theHunter: Primal is a video game released in March 31 of 2015 by Expansive Worlds and Avalanche Studios, as a branch from their video game series theHunter. This game is set on a prehistoric world where the player must defend themselves from a variety of dinosaurs. The player loots the game world and can find several different weapons and firearms to use.
Most of the firearms in the game are reskinned models from theHunter: Classic.
The following weapons appear in the video game TheHunter: Primal:
Handguns
.44 Disciplinary Handgun (Taurus Raging Bull)
"Small but potent. Though it will not kill big beasts it will surely kill the smaller ones, like humans. For this is a killer's weapon. It is wise to remember that." (In-Game Description)
.308 Dueling Handgun (Thompson Contender)
"This innovative single-shot weapon combines the mobility of a handgun with the power of a hunting rifle. Amazing technological advancements have produced a weapon that is compact enough to be carried in a regular small weapons holster while capable of firing full sized .308 rounds. Suitable for both medium and big game." (In-Game Description)
Rifles
.308 Marksman Rifle (Remington 700)
"This is a good weapon. It has been on this world for a long time. It has had many owners. It had killed many, both beast and human. If you lose it, it might kill you one day." (In-Game Description)
.308 Anti-Personnel Rifle (Keppeler KS V)
"In the wars between the Houses this rifle took many lives. It still oozes from the anger of those days." (In-Game Description)
.50 Sniper Rifle (Barrett M82)
A heavy, bolt action .50 BMG sniper rifle. Directly designed after the Barrett M82, the in game weapon is obviously modeled after a semi-automatic bolt operation, yet is used as a straight-pull bolt action instead. This very large weapon can only be found at the Mt. Sisyphys Research Station at the top of the island's volcano. Its .50 ammo it fires can be found elsewhere however. This rifle has a magazine of 5 rounds.
"This is a coward's weapon. For those who fear the heat of battle but want to affect it. You will probably not hear this weapon being fired at you - because when the sound reaches your ears you are most likely already dead." (In-Game Description)
.700 Double Rifle(H&H Double Rifle)
"The Great Hunters used these powerful weapons. Well, the less-than-great of the Great Hunters anyway: The ones that died while trying to prove themselves to their noble kin. Hang on to this weapon if you find it. It is rare and can kill anything." (In-Game Description)
5.56 Assault Rifle
A lightweight automatic rifle with a magazine capacity of 20 rounds of 5.56 ammo, and featuring an integral holographic sight. This weapon can only be obtained through killing the Primal Rex, or in the spawn store after killing the Primal Rex and unlocking it.
A custom designed model for the game, it is colored black with green/yellow camouflage paint on the lower receiver. The overall shape of the weapon shares similarities with the Kriss Vector. A non-reciprocating charging handle is on the left side of the gun. It has a foldable, thumbhole stock and picatinny rail on the top of the upper receiver and under the handguard. Its iron sights are folded down, with an unremovable holographic sight very similar to an EOTECH attached to the top rail.
"At some point the professional hunters realized that savagery needs to be dealt with using savage weapons." (In-Game Description)
Shotguns
12 GA Crowd Control Shotgun (Remington 870)
The 12 Gauge Crowd Control Shotgun's model is designed from theHunter Classic's 12 GA Pump-Action, and has direct inspiration taken from the Remington 870. theHunter Classic later added the 12 GA Pump-Action (Primal) to their store in reference to the game. This pump-action shotgun has black polymer furniture and a 6 round tube capacity, capable of being loaded with both 12 Gauge Buckshot and Slugs. An attachable Red Eye Shotgun Sight can be found as well. This gun commonly spawns at Research Stations, Military Bases, and Crown Settlements. It it quite effective against almost all dinosaurs in the game. Buckshot easily takes down Velociraptors, Utahraptors and Quetzalcoatlus, while slugs will do considerable damage to Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus.
"As far as it is known, this gun was used to herd people to this world. To make them comply in an orderly fashion. These days the gun is mainly used for hunting because there are not enough people to herd on this world anymore." (In-Game Description)
12 GA Riot Shotgun
This gun can only be found when looting the world, it cannot be bought in the spawn store.
"Every now and then there would be great uprisings. Then the uprisings would be drowned in rivers of blood." (In-Game Description)
Bows and Crossbows
Wooden Bow
"The bow will perhaps help you bring in meat. The bow will help protect your meat from others. However, if these others have teeth larger than the arrowheads you fire at them, it is unlikely the bow will stop you from becoming meat yourself." (In-Game Description)
Talon Hunting Bow
This bow and its arrows can only be found when looting the world, it cannot be bought in the spawn store.
"The Powerful used this weapon not to hunt the Beasts, but to hunt the less fortunate. Every year men were released from pens and the Great Hunters would pick them off silently one by one." (In-Game Description)
Fang Hunting Crossbow

"When the Beasts proved too savage to hunt for sport, professional hunters arrived carrying silent weapons." (In-Game Description)
Melee Weapons
