Serious Sam 3: BFE (Before First Encounter) is an upcoming first-person shooter game in development by Croteam. With a history before the events of The First Encounter, the game promises to take the player to old known places, as well new locations and new monsters.
The following weapons appear in the video game Serious Sam 3: BFE:
The Desert Eagle Mark XIX is used by Serious Sam as the default handgun. According to the Weapons Trailer, it is called the "SOP38 Semi Automatic Pistol" and holds an impossible 10 rounds per magazine; this is the weapon's only limitation, since it seems to have inherited the "techno-magical ammo replenisher" of his old revolvers and never runs out of ammunition. When Sam finds it for the first time, he states: "Mr. Smith, Mr. Wesson, glad you could make it."
The Hawk Pump Tactical Shotgun is seen used by Serious Sam in the trailer. It is simply referred to as the "12 Gauge Pump Action Shotgun." It shares the "5.56x40mm" magazine well marking of the HK416, presumably making it the only shotgun in the world chambered in 444 gauge. While it has iron sights fitted, they cannot be used; it also has an equally useless rail mount and has a spare shell holder which is always empty. It is only ever shown being fed using magazines anyway; these have a capacity of ten rounds, despite looking like they could barely hold three.
The Double Barrel Shotgun returns, back to full glory from the sawed-down abomination it was in Serious Sam 2. It is referred to as the "Double Barrel Coach Gun." Being a classic Doom-style "super shotgun" it has only one trigger which fires both barrels together for a larger spread than the Hawk Tactical but more than double the damage. Like the Hawk Tactical, the iron sights cannot be used.
The Heckler & Koch HK416 appears in game with a EOTech sight and a vertical foregrip, using a 40-round magazine. It is referred to as the "M29 Infantry Assault Rifle," implying it is supposed to be a Heckler & Koch M27 IAR, though it lacks the extended handguard and longer barrel distinctive of this version; it does, however, have the correct lowered rate of fire (600 RPM as opposed to 700–900 RPM for the standard HK416).
The French made FR F2 appears as the "Raptor 16mm Sniper Rifle". Like its ingame name states; it uses 16mm rounds, although the weapon itself is unaltered both scale wise and design wise from the original design. It fires semi-automatically despite the fact it is a bolt-action weapon. It features a small hi-tech scope.
The Hand Held M134 Minigun returns from the previous games. It is referred to as the "XM214-A Minigun".

This is an airsoft version which retains the half-circle attachment point for the M60 foregrip from Predator; the real T2 minigun did not have this - (fake) 7.62x51mm NATOError creating thumbnail: File missingFiring the minigun at some of Mental's monsters.
M112 C4 Demolition Charge
In lieu of using grenades, Sam can pick up remote-triggered C4 charges. These are made from two green M112 demolition charges duct-taped together and fitted with a detonator.
The M230 Chain Gun is seen mounted on AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, although it is absolutely never shown mounted where it is supposed to be.
