Lancer
The second iteration of Jacinto Armory's Lancer assault rifle to enter full-scale production, the Model II Standardized Service Rifle, more commonly known as the Mark 2 Lancer, was an extensive redesign of the orginal Lancer from the Pendulum Wars. Hastily designed by Adam Fenix in conjunction with Jacinto Armory shortly after Emergence Day, the success of the Mark 2 Lancer was in many ways a happy accident. Despite its rushed development and the limited resources available to its creators in light of E-day, the Mark 2 Lancer proved to be a rugged, dependable, and brutally effective piece of equipment in the hands of trained Gears.

The most noticable and recognizable feature of the Mark 2 Lancer was of course its unique built-in chainsaw bayonet. The traditional bayonets such as the one commonly used with the Mark 1 Lancer were ineffective at piercing the skin of various Locust creatures, unless an extreme amount of force was applied (and even then this would drastically decrease the lifespan of the blade). However, Gears soon discovered that chainsaws could easily carve into Locust flesh. Marcus Fenix told his father about this discovery, and the idea of using a chainsaw for a bayonet instead of a traditional knife quickly came together.

Though the chainsaw was unquestionably effective, if not somewhat barbaric, it still had drawbacks. It was difficult to maintain, requiring constant disassembly and cleaning, and it would often become jammed up with gore. The chainsaw also sprayed flesh, blood, and gore towards the Lancer's wielder. Stray bone fragments commonly blinded Gears who chose not to wear head or eye protection, and exposure to airborne bits of flesh (intestinal tissue in particular) also often resulted in illness.

Hammerburst Rifles
The Hammerburst is more than just a rifle; it is a personification of Locust military doctrine. If the Lancer is a sword then the Hammerburst is decidedly a cudgel; it is simple, ugly, crude, and brutal, yet effective all the same.

Hammer of Dawn
The Hammer of Dawn is unlike any other weapon on Sera. The Hammer of Dawn is a complex array of weaponized satellites in geosynchronous orbit above the planet, capable of unleashing unthinkable destruction with the press of a button so long as there are clear skies and a clear line of sight, and able to do anything from kill a rat-sized creature with almost no collateral damage to obliterate an entire city in the blink of an eye.

Cleaver
It appears that the intended purpose of the Cleaver was not as a weapon, but as a cooking utensil. Locust units were known to sometimes bring Butchers into combat with them so they could prepare food for them during prolonged engagements, and the Butchers often participated in combat alongside Locust troops, using Cleavers as improvised weapons.

Cleavers were somewhat crude devices crafted from metal and stone, designed to be able to slice through the armored hide of a Rockworm. The blade was not particularly sharp, and instead the weapon was only able to cut into thick, tough materials by virtue of its mass.

- SFC Colin Davis and SSG Craig Randall during the Fall of Nanikawa.

"I don't care if you're Adam fuckin' Fenix. You may be the father, but this kid is COG property, and hence, more importantly, my property. And so is the fuckin' whore that gave birth to her; the one that you seem to be so fond of wasting both of our time and energy over by actually giving a shit about. She's an incubator and a piece of meat; that's what she is and that's all she'll ever be. And it's all your daughter is going to be. Their only purpose is to make babies and get me paid. The sooner you realize that, the happier the both of us will be."
