Cry of Fear: Weapon Stats For Nerds!!

Hello, I’m Wyatt. And today i’ll be showing you weapons statistics, including where to find them if you get stuck!

This is the very first weapon you get in Cry of Fear, you start with it.
The switchblade has two main attacks, slashes and stabs.
To switch attacks, right click, slashes do 6 dmg and stabs do 9. While the stab is slower.

For most weapons you can right-click to punch or pistol whip.
Two handed guns use stamina, but stagger enemies EVERY TIME.
Any one handed gun can hit boards, as well as any item that uses fists as its secondary attack.

The Glock 19 is the second gun in the game. Its first appearance is in the apartments, where you will find a corpse hanging through a ceiling, it will be holding the Glock. Or, if you kill a suicider, it will drop one.
Deals 13 damage.
2.5s reload time, 3.5s empty reload time. Holds 15 rounds.
Press down on the scroll wheel to aim.
Later in the story, you can find another apartment complex, (a completely different one) and you can go down to the last floor to find a tactical flashlight. This can only be attached to the Glock.
Ammo can be found everywhere.

The nightstick is a melee weapon found after Chapter 2 starts, after you get past the basement part of the apartments, there will be a small set of stairs. This leads to an outside area. There is a police vehicle with a cardboard mat in front of it, on said mat, the nightstick should be sitting there.
The nightstick does 11 damage.
The swing speed is slower than the switchblade. And a slight attack delay.

The shotgun is a powerful weapon, and can be found in the sewers. When you get the lighter for the gasoline, there will be a shotgun sitting by a corpse, grab it.
WARNING, this does trigger an ambush of sewmos when you return to burn the gas.
Deals 40 damage to enemies.
0.5 reload time per shell. Holds 5 rounds.
There is only 3 boxes of shotgun shells in the entire game, and 3 shotguns in the game itself. Use your ammo wisely.
Less useful at longer ranges.

The M16 is a powerful weapon, like the VP70, more on that later. The M16 can be first found at the first sawrunner encounter, in the previously chained up room. It is really hard to get this, as you need to juke him.
Deals 16 damage per shot, shoots in bursts or in single. Press V to switch firing mode.
3s reload time, 4s empty reload time.
The ammo is found abundant, then gets scarce.

This gun is a powerful ranged sniper, this beast is found after the statue puzzle, when you get the key to the gates, it should be set right beside it.
Deals 70 damage per shot
1s reload time for each bullet. Sacrifices one bullet if the gun is not empty. Holds 5 rounds.
When aiming, you can hold the shift button to stop the “shivering” for a while.
Ammo can be found throughout the map, then it gets scarce.

The VP70 is a burst pistol, and can be found through a small tunnel before entering the college.
Deals 15 damage per shot.
Can only be used in a burst mode, 3 shots at a time.
2.5s reload time, 3.5s empty reload time. Holds 18 rounds.

Very slow swing speed and recovery speed.
Stuns enemies EVERY time.

Deals 10 damage per swing.
Worse damage than the nightstick, but faster.

2.5s reload time, 3s empty reload time. Holds 8 rounds.
