# FOXFIRE — Weapons Index

> Plain-text version of the FOXFIRE weapons index for AI agents and machine-readable consumers. Mirrors the content at https://getfoxfire.com/game/weapons/.

FOXFIRE has 19 base weapons and 19 evolutions. All weapons aim and fire automatically; the player flies. A fully levelled base weapon paired with the right passive evolves into a new weapon with changed behaviour. 11 of the 19 base weapons are revealed and listed below.

| Chain Lightning | Arcs that jump between clustered enemies | Arc Grid | — |
| Pulse Hammer | Pulsing shock zones around the ship; heavy knockback | Gravity Well | — |
| Anchor | Tethered mass on rope physics; damage scales with flight speed | Flail | — |

| Drone Shield | Orbiting drones that block, tug, and harass | Drone Defender | — |

The remaining 8 base weapons are unrevealed and will be documented as they stabilise.

## Evolution mechanics

- Each base weapon has exactly one evolution and one paired passive.
- Trigger: fully level the base weapon while holding its paired passive; the next upgrade offers the evolved form.
- Evolutions change behaviour, not just numbers (e.g. the Ballistic Gun's measured cadence becomes the Gatling Gun's sustained stream).
- Several weapons interact with the thrust-physics movement system: the Anchor converts the ship's velocity into damage; the Afterburner damages along the engine wake.

## Q&A

**What is the starting weapon in FOXFIRE?**
The Ballistic Gun — a self-aiming turret with full-circle coverage. Every run starts with it.

**Do all FOXFIRE weapons fire automatically?**
Yes. The arsenal aims and fires itself; positioning and dodging are the manual skills.

**What is the strongest weapon in FOXFIRE?**
Hull pairing matters more than ranking: weapons that hold zones suit heavy hulls; fire-and-forget weapons suit fast ones.
