Resistance 3 Walkthrough Primer Guide

Load Outs

There are four default load outs to pick from, each with different strengths and weaknesses to balance each other out. The load outs can be upgraded by spending earned skill points on individual guns and abilities.

Survivor

The very first load out you'll acquire at level 1. It is equipped with a M5A2 Carbine, Shrapnel Grenade, Ammo Beacon, Doppelganger, Bandolier, and Scavenger. It's fairly balanced load out which will allow you to get your feet wet. The Carbine's use of lobbing grenades and added melee power make for a great rookie weapon. However, switching to a different gear set later on is recommended.

Infected

The Infected load out is equipped with a Bullseye, Hedgehog, Spotter, Lightning Shield, Tracker, and Air-cooled Barrel. This load out is great in the early levels for hording tons of experience. The Spotter ability will grant an extra 90 xp to each tagged enemy that is killed by you or an ally. The Bulls eye's secondary fire is very useful, as after a single accurate shot you may forego proper aiming until your enemy is slain.

Specter

The Specter is the standard sniper class built for long range combat. It has a Deadeye, Smoke grenade, Spotter, Doppelganger, Bandolier, and Air-cooled Barrel. The combination of Spotter and the Deadeye's upgraded ability to outline targets makes the Specter a deadly combatant on both offense and defense. The added bonuses of smoke grenades and doppelganger will also aid in confusing and blinding pesky enemies.

Warden

The Warden is designed for close range encounters. It has a Rossmore, Shrapnel grenade, Ammo Beacon, Lightning Shield, Tracker, and Scavenger. The Rossmore is a powerful shotgun that can be upgraded to shoot incendiary rounds. This not only makes it one of the best close quarters weapons, but can allow you to kill enemies on the run or from beyond the grave. The Tracker ability also greatly assists with sneaking up on distracted enemies, such tracing the path of nearby snipers.

Custom

Custom is of course the main load out to play around with. By default it has nearly the same equipment as a Survivor, but replaces Doppelganger with Lightning Shield. Custom load outs can use skill points to unlock weapons and abilities not found in the other load outs. These include weapons such as the Cyrogun and Mutator, and even attributes that will handicap you for bonus XP.
