Parasite Eve had taken into account many things other games had not at the time. Unlike other games where the player just picked a weapon and fought, the series based its battles on the type of weapon, range, weight, and speed. The game left it up to the player to choose the right weapons for each battle, altering the flow of battle with each choice.

ClubsEdit

Clubs are great during AT charges. However Aya moves and attacks incredibly slowly while using them, which gives the enemy time to either attack or dodge. Used best for stealing, the club is Aya's only other option when out of ammo.

PistolsEdit

Pistols are, without a doubt, some of the best guns in the game. They're very well rounded and have great strength without sacrificing speed.

Maeda's GunEdit

• Attack: 1
• Range: 60
• Bullets: 15
• Slots: 2
• Effect: Rate of FireX2
• Found: Given by Maeda on Day 5.

Exception: During the final battle, when you fight the mature form the Ultimate Being, you are given a crate of bullets that can only be fired by this gun. During this time, Maeda's Gun is the only firearm capable of doing beyond one point of damage—and in fact does at least 999 damage per shot due to the fact that said bullets have Aya's cells in them—so it's suggested to sacrifice a space of inventory to keep this gun around for the final battle.

RiflesEdit

Aside from the rocket launchers in both fields, the rifles are the most powerful and longest-ranged guns in Parasite Eve. The strength and range of each rifle makes up for its rather slow speed.

Machine GunsEdit

The fastest weapons in the game and nearly as well rounded as the pistols, the machine guns are about the same speed. The drawback with them, however, is the fact that many stocks come with negative side effects that only a few Super Tools would be able to get rid of.

Grenade LaunchersEdit

Slow with low ammo capacity, the grenade launchers aren't really worth Aya's time considering their strength is also low. The only use Aya has for the grenade launcher are it's various choices of elemental side effects.

Rocket LaunchersEdit

The best weapon concerning power and range, the rocket launcher's only faults are its extremely low speed and its low amount of ammo, which is even less than grenade launcher ammo.
