In Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium, weapons are a crucial component in enhancing your T-Dolls’ performance on the battlefield. Just like characters, weapons come with different types, rarities, stats, and effects that directly impact the outcome of your battles. Understanding how weapons work and how to optimize them for your team is key to progressing effectively in the game. This guide will walk you through the different types of weapons, their stats, traits, and the weapon attachment system, which is another way to maximize your T-Dolls’ combat capabilities.
Weapon Types in Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium
In Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium, there are seven distinct weapon types, each of which plays a different role in combat. These weapon types are also associated with specific ammo types that further define their use and performance:
- Assault Rifle (Medium Ammo): Standard, versatile weapon with balanced stats, ideal for most situations.
- Handgun (Light Ammo): Lightweight weapons that offer quick reloads and decent accuracy.
- Light Machine Gun (Heavy Ammo): High damage and high ammo capacity, but slower reloads.
- Submachine Gun (Light Ammo): Excellent at close-range combat with rapid fire rates.
- Shotgun (Shotgun Ammo): High burst damage with a spread shot, effective for close encounters.
- Sniper Rifle (Heavy Ammo): Long-range precision with high single-target damage.
- Sword (Melee): Close-range weapons with high damage output but limited by their range.
Each weapon type serves a different purpose, and some are more suited for certain roles than others. For example, Assault Rifles and Submachine Guns are great for general combat, while Sniper Rifles excel at picking off enemies from a distance. Meanwhile, Swords can decimate foes up close but are unable to engage at range.
Weapon Rarity and Stats
Weapons in Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium come in three rarities: R (Rare), SR (Super Rare), and SSR (Super Super Rare). The higher the rarity, the better the weapon’s stats, effects, and potential for performance in battle.
- Rarity: SSR weapons typically have higher base stats and come with secondary stats like ATK%, Crit DMG%, or Crit Rate% that can further enhance their performance.
- Main Stats: All weapons have base stats like Attack (ATK), but SSR weapons also have percentage-based main stats. These stats increase as you level the weapon, improving its effectiveness in combat.
For example, a Golden Melody weapon, which is an SSR Assault Rifle, has an ATK stat of 369 along with an ATK% secondary stat, increasing damage output. Each weapon’s main stat will grow as the weapon levels up, making higher rarity weapons more powerful in the long run.
Weapon Traits, Effects, and Calibration
Weapons in Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium also come with Traits and Effects, which grant passive bonuses and further improve combat performance.
- Effect: All rarity levels can have an effect, such as increased damage output or special buffs that trigger in specific situations.
- Trait: Available on SR and SSR weapons, traits are simpler effects that may improve certain combat abilities.
- Signature Effect: Only on SSR weapons, Signature Effects require the weapon to be equipped by its designated T-Doll (the “owner”). This effect activates when the weapon is in the hands of the specific T-Doll.
For example, the Golden Melody Assault Rifle offers an effect that increases damage dealt by 10-20% and grants additional buffs to support attacks, making it a versatile weapon for offense and support roles.
If you acquire multiple copies of the same weapon, you can use the Calibration feature to improve its Effect. Calibration increases the weapon’s effect strength, but it does not alter its Trait or Signature Effect.
How to Unlock Weapon Attachment & Guide to Use Them
Weapon Attachments in Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium serve as the gear system that further enhances your T-Dolls’ weapons, providing additional stats and new passive effects. There are nine types of attachments, and each weapon type has specific attachments that can be applied. For instance, a Muzzle attachment can be applied to any weapon type except Swords.
Attachments are acquired through Personal Study, which unlocks once you reach Commander Level 23. In this mode, you can farm various attachments to improve your T-Dolls’ equipment, providing an essential boost to your squad’s effectiveness on the battlefield.
Attachments come in four rarities: C (Common), R (Rare), SR (Super Rare), and SSR (Super Super Rare). These attachments can be equipped with random stats that improve weapon performance in various ways. Higher rarity attachments offer better stats and have a higher potential for upgrading.
You can also enhance and upgrade your attachments using Sardis Gold and other Attachments. For example, a Muzzle attachment might come with up to four random stats, while other attachment types like Sights and Grips come with up to three random stats plus a set effect. Matching the set effect across three attachments activates additional bonuses for your T-Doll.
