Alan Wake's American Nightmare is a 2012 sequel/spinoff to Remedy Entertainment's Alan Wake. American Nightmare takes place in Night Springs, Arizona, a construct based on Alan's reinterpretation of a screenplay he wrote for the fictional television anthology series Night Springs, where Alan tries to write a way out of the Dark Place. Along the way, he is waylaid by Taken controlled by his evil doppelganger, Mr. Scratch.

As in Alan Wake, the title character can carry one one-handed weapon, one two-handed weapon, an Orion flare gun, and a supply of flares and flashbang grenades. Ammunition is abstracted into a generic pickup for each type of weapon.

The title was released as download-only for the Xbox 360 and PC in 2012. A sequel, Alan Wake 2, was released in 2023.


The following weapons appear in the video game Alan Wake's American Nightmare:


One-Handed Weapons

Beretta 92FS Inox

Alan's initial weapon, the "9mm Handgun", is a Beretta 92FS Inox. It loads a 10-round magazine and can carry 40 extra rounds.

MAC-10

The first unlockable weapon is the "SMG," a MAC-10. Its high rate of fire chews through its 30-round magazine. Its crate is unlocked after collecting three manuscript pages. Alan Wake can carry 120 extra rounds.

Smith & Wesson Model 629 Stealth Hunter

The Smith & Wesson Model 629 Stealth Hunter, known simply as "Magnum" in the game, is a phenomenally powerful one-handed weapon, capable of destroying two Taken in a single shot. It holds eight rounds, while the real Stealth Hunter has a six-shot cylinder. Alan Wake can carry 22 extra rounds.

Nailgun

The first primary weapon the player is likely to find, the nailgun is fully-automatic and loads a 25 round strip, but its full-auto fire is slower than the handgun's rapid fire. Alan Wake can carry 75 extra rounds.

Sawed-Off Shotgun

Like most video game shotguns, the sawed-off shotgun is devastating at close range but inaccurate and weak at any other range. Its crate is unlocked after collecting 30 manuscript pages. Alan Wake can carry twenty-eight extra shells.

M16A1

The "Assault Rifle" is an M16A1 with A2 handguards. The weapon is modeled with a 30-round magazine (which Alan does not remove when reloading), but it only loads 25 rounds with 75 in reserve. It can fire semiauto with a single tap of the trigger or mouse button or full-auto when held. Its crate is unlocked after collecting twenty manuscript pages.

Remington Model 7 CDL

Returning from Alan Wake is the "Hunting Rifle," a Remington Model 7 CDL with a five-round internal magazine. Although it now has a scope, it is never used. Its low rate of fire and small magazine counter its high damage and ability to destroy two Taken with one shot. Its crate is unlocked after collecting 15 manuscript pages.

Other Weapons

Orion Flare Gun

Returning from Alan Wake, the "Flare Gun" is drastically reduced in power. The new flare gun destroys normal Taken with a direct hit, only knocking down Taken and stripping away their shadow in the blast radius. Max ammo is 10 shells.
