XIII is a 2020 first-person shooter video game, a remake of the 2003 first-person shooter of the same name. While retaining the same story and gameplay of the original, the remake radically changed the art style of the original game, departing from the cel-shaded visuals the original is known for. This includes changes to the weapon models used in the game, which are now more detailed and much more closely resemble their real-life counterparts.


The following weapons appear in the video game XIII (2020):


Handguns

Beretta 92FS Inox

The Beretta 92FS Inox appears as the game's standard handgun and is oddly equipped with a standard blued barrel. This update model replaces the stylized, Beretta 92-based pistol from the original game. The pistol incorrectly only holds 10 rounds in its magazine.

Swapping magazines shows that new magazines have cartridges modeled in them, always nice to see. Note that the safety is on; for some reason, the safety automatically engages when the weapon runs dry.

Colt Anaconda

The Colt Anaconda returns from the original game, this time much more detailed. As in the original game, it is a very strong weapon, typically killing enemies in two shots. Available in virtually every mission.

Submachine Guns

Mini Uzi

Like the Anaconda, the Mini Uzi is now held with both hands. It also has an unfolded stock, compared to the Mini Uzi in the original game, which had a stock that was always folded. The weapon's icon incorrectly shows a full-size Uzi.

The 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun returns as well.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
When loading after firing one barrel, XIII will replace one shell from the fired barrel and leave the unfired shell in place. You love to see it.

Assault Rifles

AKM

The AKM replaces the Norinco Type 56 from the original game.

M16A1 with M203 Grenade Launcher

The M16A1 with its permanently fixed M203 Grenade Launcher replaces the original M16 from the original game.

While inserting a new magazine, XIII finds that the M16A1 is now fitted with a 30-round STANAG magazine as opposed to a 20-rounder in the original, accented nicely by some orange tape.

Sniper Rifles

SVD Dragunov

The SVD Dragunov reappears as the game's sole sniper rifle.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
The "out-of-ammo" animation shows that the bolt is apparently motorised as it cycles without the weapon actually being fired.

Machine Guns

Browning M2HB

The Browning M2HB is once again used an an emplaced weapon in some missions.

The weapon overheats; as with most video game machine guns, such a situation does not necessitate breaking up the action for a tedious barrel change.

M60

The M60 once again appears as a portable machine gun and one of the strongest weapons in-game.

Launchers

Panzerfaust 3

The Panzerfaust 3 returns from the original game as the sole rocket launcher and once again referred to as a "Bazooka". It is also once again depicted as a reloadable rocket launcher like an RPG-7.

XIII presses a mysterious red button on the side of the launcher; this appears to actually be the "F" marking for the safety on a real Panzerfaust 3.

Grenades

Mk 2 Grenade

The Mk 2 hand grenade returns, predictably functioning much the same as the original game's grenades.
