Turok 2: Seeds of Evil #6 Sequel to Turok: Dinosaur Hunter

Flare Gun

The Flare is one of the three tools/weapons that the player is given at the start of the game. It is used to illuminate dark rooms if the player's flashlight pickup has died.

The Flare is a high-tech illumination gun that appears to be made of a type of iron. When fired, it releases a small green flare that illuminates dark rooms for a short period of time.

The Flare speaks for itself. The player fires the weapon, and it releases a small flare. This is a great tool for those who have trouble seeing in dark rooms, but the lighting will only last for about 15 seconds before it goes out again. This weapon does not require ammunition, but it must be charged up for it to fire another flare. This only takes up to five seconds, and the player will know if it is charged by its meter.

The Flare is only good for lighting up rooms; against anything else, it is completely useless. The weapon is not effective against any enemy whatsoever.

Talon

The Talon is a weapon first appears in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. It is the first weapon the player is equipped with upon beginning the first level, "The Port of Adia." It replaces the Knife from Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.

It consists of two sharp claws strapped in leather restraints and coupled to the hand. The Talon is one of four weapons that can be used underwater.

The Talon is a wrist-mounted weapon. It has a leather strap that wraps around the wrist and has two sharp, claw-like blades at the knuckles. For further grip, there is a handle that the user grasps. The name Talon comes from the fact that it is designed to look like a bird's talons.

The Talon is Seeds of Evil's answer to the Knife from Dinosaur Hunter. It serves the same purpose, being a close range melee weapon. It is not as useful as the Knife, however, as the Dinosoids are noticeably stronger than the enemies encountered in Dinosaur Hunter.

It can be used to take down Compsognathus in the earlier levels, and sometimes Leapers. It can kill a Raptoid, but it takes quite some effort in order to do so. As a consequence, the player can lose a portion of health if they fight a Raptoid with this weapon.

The Talon is noticeably slower than the Knife, too, as it cannot be swung as fast as the Knife. Overall, the Talon is a weapon only recommended for "The Port of Adia" and when encountering Compies.

The Talon can be upgraded to the War Blade, a stronger equivalent.

A twin bladed dino claw replica slashing weapon. Works great on Compys and Mites, can be used underwater.

It's a leather strap around Turok's hand, with one modification: A few steel spikes attached to it

War Blade

A Talon upgrade. It has two big survival looking knives with serated edges. It consists of large, sharp, retractable metal blades. It can be used underwater.

The War Blade is an arm-mounted gauntlet that has a sharp, split blade. It attaches to the owner's arm with leather straps, and the blade seems to retract on its own.

It is much larger than the standard Talon.

The ultimate in hand-to-hand combat, your Talon will be 100% useless with this bad boy. Can hack off limbs and heads in a single swipe, allowing for some gruesome kills. Also, since it's never fired or thrown, there's no need to worry about ammo! The only drawback: It's a knife, therefore, anything with a gun will have a substantial amount of time for target practice before you close in. Never use against a group of armed creatures

Razer Wind

A really awesome circular saw blade that acts like a boomerang. It slices clean through the enemy. If you're standing still while using this and aiming straight at an enemy, it will cut clean through the enemy and then again on the way back to you. Works quite well for being just a blade. You can seriously cut an enemy's head clean off and send it a rollin' with this weapon.

It is a throwing chakram that has a function similar to that of a boomerang.

In Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, the Razor Wind appears as a steel chakram. It has several blades that surround its central grip. These blades constantly rotate when it is wielded. Once thrown, this weapon spins towards its target and then returns to its owner. If the hit is successful, the Razor Wind will return with blood stains.

The weapon returns in Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion and is available to both Danielle and Joseph Fireseed. The Razor Wind is noticeably smaller in size and now only sports three blades. Its function remains unchanged, and it retains its circular shape.

The Razor Wind can prove to be of great use. It can be thrown great distances and can take down most enemies with one hit, making it more effective than the War Blade against larger enemies. It can also pierce through targets, making this weapon kill multiple enemies in one throw. Once thrown, the Razor Wind will fly in a straight path and bounce off any walls it hits or enemies it slices. After about three or more seconds, depending on what is in front of the weapon's flight path, the weapon will return to the player.

The player should use this weapon very carefully, as missing an enemy or using the weapon with enemies spread apart would leave them open and vulnerable for attack. A bad throw can also sometimes get the weapon stuck behind a wall. This causes a delay and will put the player in danger of an attack while they are waiting for the weapon to return. Note that the player cannot switch weapons at this time either.

This weapon is recommended if the player wishes to conserve ammo or if the player has the element of surprise. When thrown, it takes a large, circular trip around the area, cutting off any body parts it comes across before returning to your hand.

The ultimate in hand-to-hand combat, your Talon will be 100% useless with this bad boy. Can hack off limbs and heads in a single swipe, allowing for some gruesome kills. Also, since it's never fired or thrown, there's no need to worry about ammo! The only drawback: It's a knife, therefore, anything with a gun will have a substantial amount of time for target practice before you close in. Never use against a group of armed creatures

Harpoon Gun

Long, skinny, and black, it always has the tip of the harpoon sticking out of the end. Shoots only underwater.

It is the underwater equivalent of the Bow. It is one of four weapons that can be used underwater.

The weapon is a steel, high-tech harpoon gun. It fires sharp spears that can put down underwater enemies slightly faster than the War Blade or Talon.

The Harpoon Gun is an optional, but effective, tool for disposing of swimming Raptoids or Leapers. Once fired, it shoots a metal spear through the water at high pressure. This results in the spear darting through the water faster than the Torpedo Launcher can fire.

It can kill most enemies underwater with two or more shots, but the aiming must be precise, as most enemies swim faster than the player. The player is likely to miss one or more times if they are not careful. This can drain ammo quite fast; however, like the Bow, spears can be recovered after they are fired. This compensates for its lack of ammo pickups.

If the spears hit the enemy, it will deal a great amount of damage and will stop them in their tracks. As far as ranged underwater weapons go, this is the better choice over the Torpedo Launcher, if the player is trying to kill an underwater enemy that is.

It is only found within "Lair of the Blind Ones." Afterwards, the player will not need it, as subsequent levels do not have many pools of water.

• Power: medium
• Max Ammo: 12 spears max

Torpedo Launcher

It is a small, handheld device that fires explosives and can help make swimming much easier. It is one of four weapons that can be used underwater.

The Torpedo Launcher is a high-tech, compact/handheld device. The weapon has dual missile tubes that fire small torpedoes that detonate upon impact.

The launcher also has a small rotor that can propel the player though bodies of water at an incredible speed.

The Torpedo Launcher is quite a useful weapon underwater. It is mandatory if the player wishes to proceed through the underwater caves in "Lair of the Blind Ones."

As its name indicates, it fires small torpedoes which explode upon impact against an enemy or a wall. The weapon is hard to aim and is not a guaranteed one-hit kill. Enemies are hard to hit, since most enemies found underwater (i.e. Raptoids, Leapers, etc.), tend to move a lot. If the hit is successful, however, it can stun the enemies, allowing the player to proceed unharmed.

The weapon has a capacity of three torpedoes, with each shot firing a two-round burst, giving the weapon a total of six torpedoes maximum. The player should be wary, however, as ammo is scarce and can only be found on level four. Another option is to restock the weapon's ammo using the "Ammo" option at a save point, which will replenish all of the player's weapons, including the Torpedo Launcher.

It's quite large (takes up the bottom 1/3 of the screen). Shoots out torpedoes, which are self-propelled underwater missiles.

Bow

A cheesy wooden Bow

The Bow is a weapon that appears in several Turok games. It is usually the second weapon that the player starts with. The standard Bow first appeared in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil.

The Bow is the second starting weapon in Seeds of Evil. It only carries standard arrows and can be charged so the arrows fly farther.

It is quite useful in "The Port of Adia" for long distance attacks and destroying explosive-filled barrels from a safe distance. Sometimes the player can get an instant kill if the weapon is aimed perfectly at an enemy's head.

This weapon is only recommended for use in "The Port of Adia" and is rendered pointless once Joshua obtains the Tek Bow. Fired arrows can be retrieved once they hit their target, that is if the arrows are within reach or if they were not destroyed in an explosion. The Bow can be upgraded to the Tek Bow.

Tek Bow

The Tek Bow is an iconic weapon of the Turok franchise, first introduced as Turok's signature weapon in Valiant's 1993 comic, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, before being featured in Acclaim Entertainment's 1997 video game, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.

Becoming a mainstay of the Acclaim series, the Tek Bow would feature in the original trilogy of Turok titles, before making its final appearance in Turok: Evolution. Prior to the game's cancellation, the Tek Bow was slated to return in the sequel to Evolution, Turok: Resurrection.

The Tek Bow returns in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil; however, unlike before, the Tek Bow is not available at the start. This version of the bow is made of iron and still maintains the compact design, sporting red stripes reminiscent of its predecessor's color scheme. The Tek Bow now has a scope that can be toggled for sniping.

The weapon has a capacity of three torpedoes, with each shot firing a two-round burst, giving the weapon a total of six torpedoes maximum. The player should be wary, however, as ammo is scarce and can only be found on level four. Another option is to restock the weapon's ammo using the "Ammo" option at a save point, which will replenish all of the player's weapons, including the Torpedo Launcher.

It's quite large (takes up the bottom 1/3 of the screen). Shoots out torpedoes, which are self-propelled underwater missiles.

Pistol

A .9mm Pistol. It fires fast enough so that it can take down most enemies in a small number of shots (especially if you plug a few in their head), but in the later levels, the opposition is just too tough for this thing

The Pistol is a standard firearm that appears in numerous Turok games, first appearing in Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. It is the first gun to be obtained by the player.

The Pistol in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil looks more high-tech and has a silver color. This Pistol can be upgraded to the Mag 60.

The Pistol functions similarly in every incarnation, with only a few downgrades to its strength in certain games. In every game (excluding Turok: Rage Wars) the Pistol is the first firearm to be found by the player.

In Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, the gun fires at an average rate, making it easy to take out enemies at mid-range. This weapon can be used to take out Poachers, usually only taking about two shots to kill them. While it instantly kills Giant Beetles in one shot, it is also a stronger equivalent of the Knife to use against Leapers.

Other humans like the Ancient Warriors will take about three to four shots to kill, being stronger than the Poachers. The Pistol can be used as a way to conserve ammo for stronger weapons, as it can easily kill some enemies within two shots.

Although it can kill Pur-Lin, High Priests, and other bigger enemies, it's not recommended. It also shares ammo with the Assault Rifle, a faster, somewhat stronger equivalent.

Mag .60

A Pistol upgrade, shoots super high velocity, highly powerful three round bursts. 50 rounds max. The further away from an enemy you are, the more powerful this weapon is.

A handgun that looks like a magnum, upgrade to the pistol.

The Mag 60, or Magnum .60, is a weapon that first appears in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. It is much larger and bulkier than the regular Pistol and fires three-round bursts. It replaces the Assault Rifle from Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.

In Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, the Mag 60 is a large, high-tech firearm that bears a heavy, rectangular shape. It appears to be made of steel, and unlike the typical Pistol, its magazine is loaded beneath the barrel. The overall length of the firearm is short and, while firing, the front muzzle of the gun pushes back with each successive shot to counterbalance the force and recoil of its heavy payload.

The Turok: Rage Wars incarnation of the weapon more closely resembles its first appearance, the only difference being that it now sports a laser sight function for better accuracy.

The Mag 60's appearance in Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion greatly differs from its previous design. Instead of being a different weapon entirely, it is merely an attachment to the standard Pistol found in the game. Despite being arguably downgraded to a mere attachment, it bears a heavy connection to the original design by giving the Pistol a big, heavy front muzzle that recoils back with every shot. This weapon is exclusive to Danielle Fireseed.

The Mag 60 is an upgrade to the standard Pistol, firing three-round bursts with every shot. As a result, it does more damage and is capable of dismembering enemies. However, it does consume ammo faster than the Pistol.

This weapon is best suited for headshots/limb shots as a single burst can take care of most enemies. Alongside the Charge Dart Rifle, this weapon outshines almost everything else in the arsenal when it comes to dispatching enemies quickly.

Shotgun

A double barreled Shotgun, can use exploding shells with this, 20 shell and 10 exploding shell max. The Shotgun is a firearm that fires a shell that contains many small pellets inside of it. Throughout the Turok franchise, the Shotgun has made several appearances, typically being the second firearm the player obtains.

The Shotgun's appearance, as well as the type of Shotgun, has differed throughout the series. The first incarnation in Turok: Dinosaur Hunter is a typical pump-action Shotgun with a wooden stock. Unlike some weapons in the Turok series, it does not have a futuristic/high-tech look.

In Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, the weapon is a double-barreled Shotgun, the only other difference being that the barrels are longer than its predecessor's, along with it being slightly more effective. This Shotgun can be upgraded to the Shredder.

The Shotgun of Turok: Rage Wars more closely resembles the Auto Shotgun, yet is a pump-action Shotgun. It retains the revolver-style mechanism of the Auto Shotgun and can be pumped several times to fire quicker, subsequent shots.

The Shotgun appears once again in Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion. The weapon's barrels are slightly shorter than before, yet it remains a double-barreled Shotgun. Danielle Fireseed can upgrade her Shotgun to the Fireswarm. Joseph Fireseed can upgrade to the Shredder.

The Shotgun of Turok: Evolution has the same revolver mechanism as the Shotgun from Rage Wars. It is much more futuristic looking and has a silver color to it. A number of the Suspended City marines can be seen brandishing this weapon. It can be upgraded with the quad-shot barrel, allowing the player to pump four times as many shots, earning it the name "Quad Shotgun."

The weapon returns in the sequel to Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. It is now much more powerful and is likely to be used throughout the game. The weapon is still a pump-action Shotgun (despite being a double-barreled Shotgun).

It is now capable of dismemberment (due to Seeds of Evil's dismemberment system) and can take down most Dinosoids with two shots. This gun is great against the Deadkin, Purr-Linn War Clubs/Gunners, Mantid Drones, Raptors, and Fireborn.

Like its predecessor, it can fire Explosive shells and Buckshot shells. A new, useful feature introduced in the game is being able to switch between explosive shells and buckshot shells on the fly by tapping up on the Nintendo 64's directional pad.

Shredder

A big long gun, it's the upgraded version of the Shotgun. It uses 20 Normal Shells or 10 Explosive Shells.

It shoots a blue laser that bounces off any surface and breaks up into smaller lasers that also bounce around. This is lethal in small spaces or hallways.

The Shredder is a weapon featured in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil and Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion. It is an automatic firing weapon and is quite similar to the Auto Shotgun.

The Shredder of Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is a high-tech Shotgun that has a revolver feed-style mechanism reminiscent of the Auto Shotgun. Unlike the Shotgun, it fires blue beams that are capable of bouncing off of walls. However, it still uses Shotgun shells. It sports a gray, black, and khaki color scheme.

The Shredder returns in Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, this time exclusive to Joseph Fireseed. However, instead of being an entirely separate gun, it is now merely an attachment for the vanilla Shotgun found in the game. It is a strange mechanism that wires up to the Shotgun's barrel, so that when the weapon is fired, it releases scattered beams of electric buckshot. These beams of electricity are also capable of bouncing off of most surfaces.

The Shredder is Seeds of Evil's answer to the Auto Shotgun, but unlike the Auto Shotgun, its rate of fire is slower.

With the Explosive Shells, the Shredder fires a single explosive beam which will ricochet until it loses power. The beam is strong and capable of taking down most enemies in a single shot. Explosive shells can be used to take out an enemy around the corner or from a distance. With its ammo capacity, however, it must be conserved for these occasions.

Buckshot shells work in much the same way. A beam is fired from the weapon, but when they hit any surface, the beam splits into smaller shards that will keep on bouncing around until they lose energy. It can be used to stun groups of enemies if the player is either stuck in a small room or cornered.

Tranquilizer Gun

The Tranqulizer Gun is a weapon featured in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. As its name indicates, it is used to tranquilize enemies, giving the player a chance for an open hit. It's a rifle with one catch: Instead of bullets, it fires darts loaded with sedatives. 15 darts.

The Tranquilizer Gun is a grey rifle that emits a quiet sound when fired and is capable of putting enemies to sleep. It sports a small scope on top.

The Tranquilizer Gun is best used when the player wants to conserve ammo but wants to sneak past enemies as well. It is considered effective if the player happens to be low on health and will not be able to fight enemies without dying. Though useful at times, its effectiveness depends on the size of the enemy, and its dart capacity is quite small.

Dinosoids usually go down in two shots. Bigger enemies like the Purr-Linn can take up to five shots. Once the enemy is down, the player can use this opportunity to either flee or finish off their opponent. Targets will not stay down for long, however. They will eventually wake up within 15 seconds. The weapon can be upgraded to the Charge Dart Rifle.

Due to a bug in early copies of Seeds of Evil, ammo for this weapon does not spawn at all. The few pickups available for this weapon are also bugged and instead replenish the Chart Dart Rifle's ammo count. These bugs were fixed for the PC version of Seeds of Evil.

Despite the fact that the weapon has a scope, it cannot be used.

if you knock out an enemy, and allow them to wake up, they will hunt you down and be VERY angry

Charge Dart Rifle

A yellowish gun with a square end. Fires an electrical burst that stuns the enemy, the most effective stunning weapon in your arsenal. I don't use the stunning weapons unless I'm in a real hairy situation. In this game it's kill or be killed but if you use this, the enemy is so helpless you can just casually walk up to them and blow their heads clean off. 30 charges max, 1-3 rounds per use. Hold down the trigger for a more powerful burst to stun the enemies longer.

The Charge Dart Rifle is a weapon that appears in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. It is the second "stun gun" acquired by the player. The weapon fires a jolt of electricity, stunning enemies for a short period of time.

The Charge Dart Rifle is a futuristic stun rifle. It has what appears to be a battery that is wired up to the weapon; this is most likely what charges up the electric shock it fires. The weapon's barrel has a unique cubical shape which vibrates as it charges. The weapon sports a dim yellow-khaki color scheme.

The Charge Dart Rifle is a weapon that is capable of stunning enemies for longer periods of time than the Tranquilizer Gun and can even kill if enough rounds are fired.

The weapon's electric shot can be charged up to stun enemies for longer periods of time. Shots change color depending on how long the fire button is held:

• An orange discharge is fired by quickly tapping the fire button. Its effect lasts between three and five seconds.
• A yellow discharge is fired by holding down the fire button for about a second. Its effect lasts between six and eight seconds.
• A red discharge is fired by holding down the fire button for about two or three seconds. Its effect lasts between nine and ten seconds and can kill an enemy if they are already wounded.
• A blue discharge is fired by holding down the fire button for about three or four seconds. Its effect lasts between 10 and 11 seconds and has a roughly 50% chance of killing the target.
• A violet discharge is fired by holding down the fire button for more than five seconds. Its effect lasts between 12 to 20 seconds and is a guaranteed kill most of the time.

Despite the fact that the weapon has a scope, it cannot be used.

if you knock out an enemy, and allow them to wake up, they will hunt you down and be VERY angry

Plasma Rifle

A rifle that fires a plasma round at an enemy. You can go into sniper mode. 150 rounds max, each shot requires 5 rounds. The Plasma Rifle is a weapon featured in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil and Turok: Rage Wars. It is a highly advanced sniper rifle which uses superheated plasma as ammunition and features multiple firing modes.

The Plasma Rifle of Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is a large, futuristic rifle, complete with a scope on the top for sniping. It sports a black and silver color scheme. Its design borrows some elements from the Pulse Rifle.

In Turok: Rage Wars, its design remains virtually unchanged from its predecessor, though the scope has shortened and the grip has changed to a more traditional pistol grip. The rifle retains its color scheme.

This is an essential weapon for long-range kills. Headshots are a one-hit kill while body shots kill in either three or four rounds. Sniper mode allows the player to make silent kills; nearby enemies are not alerted when the weapon is fired and victims will either be dead or run in pursuit of the player, who may be hidden in plain sight or far away on an alcove. The downside to the Plasma Rifle is that it shares its ammo pool with the Firestorm Cannon.

Firestorm Cannon

A plasma Mini Gun that fires a rapid burst of plasma rounds at the enemy to rip 'em apart like tissue paper. 150 rounds max, an awesome weapon! It's better to shoot this weapon off in short bursts to conserve on ammo.

The Firestorm Cannon is a weapon that first appears in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. It is essentially a re-designed Minigun that fires rounds of plasma.

The Firestorm Cannon of Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is a futuristic minigun that has five barrels. When fired, its base rotates clockwise, while the barrels rotate counter-clockwise.

The weapon returns in Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, although this time it is exclusive to Danielle Fireseed. Its appearance has been greatly changed since Seeds of Evil and more closely resembles the Minigun from Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. Its barrels have a dull bronze color while its base is a metallic gray.

The Firestorm Cannon is one of the more effective weapons in the game as it can rapidly fire at enemies and can detach limbs with only a few shots. To be fired, the weapon requires a quick spin-up that takes up to one and a half seconds.

It can take down Dinosoids, Mantids, Blind Ones, and Raptors with relative ease. It can even be effective against some Purr-Linn but will take a little more effort. It can prove to be of use against bosses like the Mantid Queen, Mother, and the Primagen.

The weapon consumes ammo at a fast rate, but thankfully it is quite common in boss rooms and in Ammo Drop rooms. The Firestorm Cannon also shares ammo with the Plasma Rifle, and as such these weapons can run out of ammo quickly with their meager capacity of 150 rounds. It is recommended to use this weapon while either fighting a boss or defending an Energy Totem.

Flame Thrower

Try to use this weapon in short bursts rather than holding the fire button down to conserve fuel. You can burn up a fuel tank up in seconds if you hold down the trigger, 50 gallons max.

The Flamethrower (called Flame Thrower in Seeds of Evil) is a weapon that first appears in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. As its name indicates, it uses fire as a way to dispose of enemies.

The Flamethrower appears in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil as a high-tech, steel weapon. Its gas tanks hook up to a second barrel, where a third barrel lies on top with an active flame. When fired, it releases a stream of fire that can reach enemies at great distances.

The weapon returns in Turok: Evolution, this time taking on a much more worn look and sporting a military green color scheme.

The Flamethrower can prove to be quite the useful tool for quickly dispatching enemies, as a few seconds of engulfing an enemy in flames can instantly kill them. It is most effective in "Lair of the Blind Ones," as this level contains copious amounts of Cave Spiders that can drain health quickly.

The weapon fires quickly, having no delay or requiring a charge to fire. As a takeaway, the weapon drains ammo quite fast, subtracting two units from the player's ammo stock every second.

This weapon is great against groups of spider hatchlings that nip that the player's ankles, and it is highly recommended when the player encounters the Giant Spiders throughout the level, as it can do more damage than most weapons against these arachnids.

Sunfire Pod

Round, lumpy, lava rock Grenades. Use on Blind Ones to clear out a bunch of them at once. They only kill Blind Ones and stun all other enemies, 6 pods max.

The Sunfire Pod is a weapon that appears in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. It acts as a flash grenade, temporarily blinding any enemy caught in its bright flash.

The Sunfire Pod is a sphere of cooled, cracked magma. It has sunlight energy visible through its cracks and glows when idle.

The Sunfire Pod is a weapon that is great for the level "Lair of the Blind Ones." When thrown, it flies for a short distance, or the player can "cook" the pod and launch it a larger distance by holding down the fire button for a few seconds.

Due to the Blind Ones' sensitivity towards light, one flash will set them ablaze, killing them. It can be useful against Endtrails as well, but they will only be stunned by the impact.

Ammunition is common near the lava pits in the Lair of the Blind Ones. The player must be cautious while in these areas, as Fireborn are present near these pits. The player can acquire the Heart of Fire Talisman to make the task of obtaining these pods much easier.

The Sunfire Pods can still prove to be of great use for stunning enemies, and they are quicker than the Charge Dart Rifle. Unfortunately, they can be found only in the Lair of the Blind Ones, and once they have been used up, ammo cannot be found in later levels. The player can, however, use the Ammo option in the Save Portals to replenish this weapon's ammunition.

Grenade Launcher

Launches grenades. Aim kind of high while using this, real high. 10 grenades max.

The Grenade Launcher's first appearance in Turok: Dinosaur Hunter is as a large, shoulder-mounted weapon. It has a silver color scheme for its interior. The exterior of the weapon has a black-brown color scheme.

In Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, the Grenade Launcher's length has been decreased, but it functions the same way as it did in Dinosaur Hunter. It takes on a much more futuristic look, with yellow lights on the side, and it appears to be made of steel.

The design for Turok: Rage Wars remains the same as the one from Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, with the minor difference of a slightly larger barrel.

The Grenade Launcher of Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion is a worn, shoulder-mounted weapon, reminiscent of its original design. It also has a rusted look on its exterior, but its interior remains silver. Danielle Fireseed can upgrade her Grenade Launcher to the RPG. Joseph Fireseed can upgrade to the Napalm Cannon.

The Grenade Launcher in Seeds of Evil is quite effective against Raptors, Raptoids, and small clusters of enemies like Compies, Mites, and Fire Worms. Unlike its predecessor, the player can detonate a grenade at close range and not be harmed, a very useful trick when dealing with enemies up close.

Like the original, the grenades can be fired around corners, and the grenades will detonate when they hit an enemy. The rate of fire is slower compared to the original, so the player must make every shot count.

Proximity Fragmentation Mine Layer

The PFM Layer (Proximity Fragmentation Mine Layer) is a weapon that appears in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil and as a small pick-up in Turok: Rage Wars. The weapon lays proximity mines that are capable of blowing off the legs of most enemies caught within its radius.

Lets you fire a mine that will detonate when an enemy walks near it, 10 mines max.

The PFM Layer is a futuristic weapon that appears to be made of some sort of metal. It has a horizontal barrel designed to lay a flat item, like the PFM. It appears to run on drum rounds and has a similar feed style to that of the Auto Shotgun or Shredder.

The PFM Layer is intended to be used for booby trapping areas, mostly areas that have patrolling enemies. When the weapon is fired, the mine will deploy just a few feet from the player.

Once it lands, the mine will emit a small radar (indicated by a green, pulsating ring) which will detect any enemies in the vicinity and will trigger the mine to self-destruct. Any enemies caught within the blast radius will either die immediately or be mortally wounded. The player must be cautious as to where to deploy the mine; once the mine has been set, it cannot be picked up again.

This weapon can be useful for luring an enemy into a trap and can work on groups of three or more enemies. A situation where this weapon works best is if two enemies begin fighting each other; while they are distracted, the player can deploy a mine near them and, if lucky, the mine will detonate and take out both enemies at once.

Another technique that the player can use is to deploy a mine in advance and then shoot at a nearby enemy to get its attention. The player can then lure the enemy into the blast radius and observe the lethal aftermath.

The player will know when the mine is about to explode when it bounces into the air for a moment before exploding in a ring of shrapnel. Only one mine can be deployed at a time. If the player were to try to lay a second mine, the previous one will detonate. This can be avoided if the player deploys the next mine outside the range of the first mine, making this weapon perfect for clearing entire rooms. In Night Dive Studios' remaster of Seeds of Evil, the player can lay three mines in close proximity before a fourth detonates the lot.

Players must be cautious when groups of the enemies are attacking with a mine deployed, since enemies like Raptoids can backflip to avoid the explosion. Mantids can also take off in flight on their jetpacks. This weapon is not recommended for close encounters.

Scorpion Missile Launcher

The Scorpion Launcher, also called the Scorpion Missile Launcher, is a weapon first seen in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil and again in Turok: Rage Wars. It is a futuristic missile launcher that fires three small homing missiles.

Fires three missiles. You can take out an enemy from quite a distance with this weapon, 12 (36) missle max.

The Scorpion Launcher of Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is a high-tech homing missile launcher. It has three barrels that fire one missile at a time and reload all at once. It also sports a grey and green-striped color scheme. For multiplayer on the Nintendo 64, the weapon was redesigned and only capable of firing a single rocket at a time.

The Scorpion Launcher's appearance in Turok: Rage Wars greatly differs from its predecessor, as it is noticeably larger and sports a different color scheme. This version of the weapon fires only a single missile, similar to the scorpion launcher in the console multiplayer of Seeds of Evil.

The Scorpion Missile Launcher is a powerful weapon. Like the Cerebral Bore, it has a lock-on targeting system. This weapon is best used at medium to long range for maximum killing capabilities. Unlike the Cerebral Bore, the Scorpion can be fired without locking onto anything. If the weapon is fired without a target locked on, the missiles will fly in a straight path. Although it fires three missiles, it will only subtract one missile from your ammo stock.

It can be compared to the Quad Rocket Launcher from Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, as the Scorpion Launcher is essentially a modified version of that weapon. Both weapons have similarities in appearance and gameplay.

Cerebral Bore

The Cerebral Bore is a weapon first featured in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. It is a weapon of unknown origin that consists of a homing projectile capable of latching onto its victim's heads, killing them by drilling into their skulls and exploding when they reach the brain. It has gained a reputation among fans, gamers, and reviewers alike, most of them considering it to be one of the most gruesome weapons in the history of gaming.

It fires a brain wave seeking bore that follows the enemy around like a heat seeking missle. Once it finds its target, the bore drills into the enemies head and then explodes to take it clean off. Love that sound, 10 bore max.

The Cerebral Bore of Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is a strange grey, circular device. It fires bores that are stored within its rotating ammo mechanism. It appears to be made of a type of metal and has blue lights visible on its side. The bores are strange golden spheres with several small, hook-like protrusions, a drill head, and a deadly explosive charge.

The weapon is present once more in Turok: Rage Wars. Its appearance is quite similar to its Seeds of Evil incarnation. A major difference is that the weapon's victims' executions are shortened due to the fast-paced gameplay of Rage Wars.

The weapon returns in Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion. Its appearance is relatively unchanged from before, the major difference being that the weapon now has new lighting effects.

The Cerebral Bore features a lock-on targeting system, much like the Scorpion Launcher. The weapon scans, detects, and locks onto the brain waves of nearby targets. Once locked on—indicated by its blinking crosshair—the bore can be fired. The weapon's tracking ability makes it very useful for detecting enemies who may not be visible. This can alert the player of an upcoming ambush.

The weapon releases its projectile, and if it successfully locks onto an enemy, it latches on the the victim's head. It immediately begins drilling through the victim's skull, forcibly expelling copious amounts of blood and tissue out of a suction channel. Once it reaches the brain, the bore explodes, decapitating its victim.

While the weapon is useful for executing enemies in spectacular and gory fashion due to being a one-hit kill, it is one of the slower and less reliable weapons.

To be fired, the weapon must be locked onto a target, which can prove to be difficult against mobile enemies, especially Raptors. It is recommended to use from a distance or for a sneak attack. Given its maximum range, though, even sneak attacks can prove to be difficult with this weapon, as the player cannot be too far from an enemy or it will not detect them.

This weapon WILL NOT work against the following groups of enemies:

• Compies/Swamp Wasps/Cave Spiders/Mantid Mites/Cave Worms (too small)
• Deadkin (no brain activity)
• Purr-Linn (low intelligence)
• Sisters of Despair

Due to the fact that most Mantids are too fast for the Cerebral Bore to lock on, the player should use the Charge Dart Rifle to stun the enemy and then switch to the Cerebral Bore to make the kill.

Lastly, the Cerebral Bore is rendered useless against bosses due to the fact that it cannot lock onto such a large target.

Trivia

• This weapon was inspired by the Tall Man's weapons from Don Coscarelli's 1979 horror film Phantasm. The silver orb-like weapon functions the same way as the bores in the Turok series, the only difference being that the weapon did not explode like the Cerebral Bore.
• When the crosshair has locked onto an enemy's head, the target will begin to run away and flail their arms in fear. This is one of three weapons in Seeds of Evil that are capable of doing this. The others are the Riding Gun and the Scorpion Launcher.
• The Cerebral Bore paved the way for more gruesome weapons in later Turok titles, like the Chest Burster in Turok: Rage Wars.
• A similar weapon, the Swarm Bore, would later appear in Turok: Evolution.
• There is a British death metal band called Cerebral Bore.

Nuke

The Nuke is a weapon that appears in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. Unlike what its name implies, the weapon is not an atomic bomb. It is instead a stand-alone weapon that charges up fission then releases a powerful beam, causing the explosion. Much like the Chronoscepter, the Nuke's pieces must be located and assembled in order to be used.

You must find the 6 NUKE parts in order to obtain this weapon which are in the Oblivion Portals on each level. 5 War Heads max.

The Nuke is as a large, futuristic weapon. It appears to be made of a strange black/purple colored metal and has six arch-like bolts that constantly rotate. These bolts generate a blue light that darts back and forth, possibly being electromagnetic pulses that keep the nuclear fission from detonating early.

The Nuke is the most powerful weapon in Seeds of Evil, and as such, the weapon can be obtained only near the end of the game. The weapon is divided into six pieces, with one piece in each level, much like the Chronoscepter.

Unlike the Chronoscepter, however, the pieces are not hidden in out of the way areas of the levels themselves. They are hidden within the Flesh Portals or Fake Talisman Chambers. Inside these portals, the player is warped to dark, ominous facilities where they must fight the Flesh Eaters in order to exit the portal. Once all Flesh Eaters have been defeated, a door will open revealing a corridor. Inside, the player will find a nondescript piece of the Nuke and a portal leading back to the main level. Once all pieces have been obtained, the weapon can be used.

Unlike the Chronoscepter, this weapon does not harm bosses, with the sole exception of The Blind One. By the time this weapon is obtained very late in the game, the only bosses you encountered while having this weapon are Mother, if the player manages to acquire all six pieces before fighting her, and Primagen.

The weapon must be charged before it is be ready to fire. The Nuke's bolts will begin to tighten, rotate faster, and emit a whirring sound. The player will know when to release the charge once the sound reaches its highest frequency. Once fired, the weapon shoots a light blue beam of nuclear fission which begins to flash and condense before finally exploding in a light blue shockwave. Any enemy within its blast radius will be stopped in their tracks, and their bodies will begin to fade to black and be engulfed in flames. Shortly after, the flames will cease, and the victims' bodies will explode.

It will not work on the Primagen. The best time to use it is when the Primagen summons his drones. The player has ample time to charge the weapon before the drones are release, and the Nuke will clear them out easily, giving the player time to scout for ammo and health before the next phase of the boss fight.

Styracosaurus Machine Gun

The Riding Gun, also known by the development name Styracosaurus Machine Gun, is featured in Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. It consists of two large artillery cannons mounted on the back of a Styracosaurus and a 20 mm. machine gun that fires powerful bullets as fast as the player can pull the trigger. The Styracosaurus can only be used during the level "Slaughter by the River of Souls."

The Riding Gun is one of the more powerful weapons in the game. It is found immediately when the player is warped to "Slaughter by the River of Souls." The player will be greeted with a blue-grey Styracosaurus in a wooden cage. Once the player approaches the Styracosaurus, they will automatically mount the dinosaur.

The dinosaur moves slow, but it moves faster than the player on foot. The cannons are designed to take out the turrets and cannons operated by the Dinosoids in the first portion of the level. The cannons fire grenades which can obliterate Raptoids and Endtrails alike, and the 20 mm. machine gun can be fired with the cannons simultaneously for effective kills. The player will not have to worry about ammunition, as the weapon's supply is unlimited. Double tapping C-Up or the W key will have the dinosaur perform a deadly charge attack which can send enemies flying dozens of feet into the air.

The player is not invulnerable while on the Styracosaurus. Turrets can still manage to gun down the player, and Dinosoids can attack the player up close. However, if the player has several Dinosoids attempting to attack, it can be quickly resolved by ramming the enemies. The player can use this ram to easily take down Entrails that attempt to attack with their ion gauntlets, as this attack sends the enemies flying and instantly kills them.

Once the player has taken down all turrets and cannons, they will eventually find a second cage with a Save Point and Portal nearby. The Styracosaurus must be discarded to continue and cannot be used in any other level.
