Bioshock Infinite
 Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
Bioshock Infinite is the third game in the well known Bioshock series. However, Rapture is nowhere to be found. Instead, you play Booker Dewit, an ex-Pinkerton Agent (!), travelling to the flying city of Columbia to "rescue" Elizabeth, a woman with special powers called Vigors. Booker must use these, Gears and a variety of weapons to fight his way through the flying city, battling two factions in a idealistic civil war (the Vox Populi and The Founders), large mechanical nightmares called Handymen, many supernateral and mechanical monsters and Elizabeth's terrifying guardian, the Songbird. Along the way, Elizabeth's power will grow stronger and gain access to "Tears" in, gateways to all sorts of alternate realities, making it hard to discern what's even real anymore...
Unlike the last two games, the weapons in Bioshock Infinite are only based on real weapons, rather than being actual weapons. Also, unlike Bioshock, the wepons have fictional names rather than generic ones, with another name for the versions used by the Vox Populi and Founders. Weapon images will be added when possible.
Mauser C96
Main sidearm of Infinite, found in a novelty shop in the 2011 demo. Holds 18 rounds and is based of the German Mauser C96, but with a box magazine seen on later models. Has been renamed the Broadsider.
Booker can be seen with a steampunked Colt Navy in the newest Heavy Hitters trailer, as well as in some concept art. It is shown with a swing out cylinder, and is single action. Renamed the Paddywhacker.
Modified Winchester Model 1887
A sawn-off, engraved Winchester 1887 lever action shotgun is usable in the game. First seen in the 2010 demo, where a citizen threatens Booker with it. Booker responds by grabbing the shotgun by his telekinetic Vigor and shooting him with it. He uses it until the end of the demo. Later seen in the 2011 demo, where it was shown to carry 8 shells. It is also held by Booker on the (presumed) cover art above, showing it with a Terminator style lever. Renamed the China Broom, while the Vox Populi version is called the Vox Heater. A more engraved version will be avaliable as a pre-order, called Comstock's China Boom Shotgun.
Modified Lanchester Mk. I
Used in the 2011 demo (though it was in the 2010 one as well, though it was hard to see) with 45 rounds. Seems to be based off a British Lanchester Mk. I, but with a lower angled magazine and wooden pistol-gripped stock. Booker also holds it by the magazine. In Columbia, it is called the Rolsten Reciprocating Repeater and called the Triple R in game. When used by the Vox Populi, it is renamed the Vox Repeater.
M1903 Springfield Sniper Rifle
Used in the 2010 demo, found in a barrel with many others during politician Saltonsall's speech. Used to smash his assistant off a ledge and to fire on a cannon after finding the Murder of Crows Vigor. Thought to be based off the M1903 Springfield, it has a blue-tinted scope. For some reason, Booker holds it up to his face when working the bolt. Renamed the Birds Eyes. A Pre-order version will be avaliable with more engraving and named Comstock's Bird's Eye Sniper.
SKS
During the latest VGA 2011 trailer, Elizabeth hands Booker a rifle to fend off a crowd. The rifle appears to be a SKS with low-power telescopic scope, but later trailers show it without it's scope and with M1 Garand style sights, possibly making it an M14. Renamed the Huntsman. Vox Populi version called the Vox Burstgun.
Gatling Gun
Known as the Pepper-Mill Gun, the gun is carried and used by the Motorized Patriots. The weapon appears to be based on the infamous Gatling Gun, according to a recent interview with creators the gun can be picked up and used by Booker until the ammo runs dry, it is not known if it can be reloaded after running out of ammo.
Fictional Rocket Launcher
Used in the 2011 demo, Booker tries to blow up a Security Zeppelin with it, with no success, and sets out to destroy it from the inside. It has a 3 rocket "magazine", but Booker must turn the crank to chamber another rocket. Does not seem to be based on anything, but a few sources claim it might be a crank action AT4. Called the Barnstormer.
