Alan Wake: Firearms - list Alan Wake Guide

A gun (revolver) is Alan's basic weapon. It can hold up to six bullets, the total number of bullets is 42. Range of this weapon is really satisfying, just like its accuracy. The biggest disadvantage of the revolver is connected with damage it inflicts - it is incredibly small. Use this gun as often as possible and when your enemies are not so tough.

Flare gun is an awesome, but rarely seen weapon. It fires flares (how obvious!), which can enlighten your vicinity during the night. The flare gun can be used in two way. The first is simply firing a flare in the sky. Thanks to that, you can improve your visibility in the dark and scare off your enemies. The second way of using the flare gun is much more fun. Try shooting a projectile towards a group of opponents. In such a case, a flare works like a bomb, you can use it to eliminate several enemies at the same time. Do not waste ammunition and use the flare gun only in the worst situations and against the toughest enemies. Remember, that it requires reloading after each shot.

Shotgun is a powerful weapon, after eradicating the Darkness in your enemies, it is quite convenient to use the shotgun to finish off opponents. However, it holds only two shells. Personally, I don't like this weapon. Revolver and hunting rifle are better alternatives.

Hunting rifle is a high-class gun. The clip hold up to five bullets, the accuracy is amazing and the power is unbelievable. On lower difficulty levels, even tough enemies die after a single shot. There are, however, two problems with this hand cannon. First of all, it's a rare weapon. Second of all, the reload time is awfully long.

Pump-action shotgun is a awesome weapon. It's extremely powerful and holds up to eight shells. Use it against the toughest opponents. Unfortunately, it rarely appears in the game. What is more, the pump-action shotgun is not very efficient on a long distance, in contrary to the hunting rifle.
