The Evil Within 2 (2017)

The Evil Within 2 is the 2017 sequel to the 2014 survival horror game The Evil Within. Picking up three years after the first game, players will once again take control of now ex-detective Sebastian Castellanos. Down on his luck after the events of the first game, Sebastian is forced to return to the hellish mindscape generated by the STEM system to search for his missing daughter Lily.

The following weapons appear in the video game The Evil Within 2:

Handguns

M1911

Sebastian's starting pistol this time around appears to be an M1911, which also seems standard for MOBIUS agents alongside the Walther P99. Compared to its incarnation from the first game, the sequel's M1911 appears to be based much more closely on the real thing, bearing a resemblance to the Colt MK IV Series 70, albeit with more squared features overall. A laser-sighted version of the gun could be found for free at an auto repair shop near the first safe house, and a suppressed variant can be unlocked later as a sidequest reward.

Sebastian grabs an M1911 from off a table in the gameplay trailer.

He then racks the slide, remembering how his police training taught him to keep his finger off the trigger. Upon closer inspection the M1911 seems to lack a spring guide rod, the plug seemingly being treated as a solid component of the barrel bushing.

Walther P99/Springfield Armory XD Hybrid

Juil Kidman and MOBIUS agent Yukiko Hoffman use what appears to be a Walter P99, albeit with a more boxy slide, external hammer, rounded trigger guard and contoured grip similar to that of the Springfield Armory XD. The P99 has unlimited reserve ammo, but otherwise shares stats with the baseline M1911 and can only be used during the short sequences where control is shifted to Kidman.

Walther P99 - 9x19mm. Note the ramped trigger guard, small slide serrations, closed and proprietary accessory rail, short magazine release and slightly more curved 'tail' of the pre-2004 models.

...which Yukiko's pistol seems to disagree with. Hers has an anodized black slide instead of Juli's chromed.

"Revolver"

Sebastian's main weapon returns from the first game. It still appears to be a hybrid between a Colt M1917 Revolver and a Smith & Wesson Model 25. He first uses it to threaten Kidman and a MOBIUS agent in a bar. He loses it when he is captured but later regains it during a side mission.

"Magnum"

The magnum based on the FN Barracuda, Colt Python and a Smith and Wesson makes a return, this time as a "New Game+" bonus. Like in the previous game, ammo for this weapon is expensive to craft and there are no upgrades to its capacity.

Shotguns

Remington 870

Sebastian is seen using a sawn off Remington 870 in a gameplay trailer and several promotional pictures. A full-barreled variant with a synthetic stock can be found later.

Sebastian faces down a particularly unpleasant looking monster and will most likely be using his shotgun in the very near future.

Double-Barreled Shotgun (Sawn Off)

Sebastian later gains access to a sawn-off double-barreled shotgun. Like the full-length shotgun that came with the pre-ordered edition of the previous game, it fires a rapid two-shell burst, dealing massive close-range damage but also consuming ammo more quickly.

Rifles

Sniper Rifle

The "Sniper Rifle" returns from the first game, but with a completely new redesign. It chiefly resembles the SVD Dragunov with synthetic furniture, but is bolt-action instead of the real gun's gas-operated action.

Commercial "Tiger Carbine" (aka "Dragunov Tiger") version sold in the US, with synthetic furnishings used on domestic SVD-M modernized variant - 7.62x54mm R. More recent Tiger versions have a completely smooth receiver cover.

Assault Rifle

The "Assault Rifle" in-game is composed of a plethora of custom parts for the AR-15 platform. Its receiver consists of a Noveske flat top mated to a billet receiver, fitted with Daniel Defense-esque keymod handguard and stock (with the side rails of PDW-length collapsible butts), Magpul AFG, and feeds from Magpul PMAGs. Its ironsights are a combination of a KAC folding rear and TROY front battle sight.

Like the "Machine Gun" from the previous game, it serves as the game's fully-automatic weapon, although it is now available in the later parts of the campaign, and ammo for it is more common. Esmeralda Torres uses a custom AR-15. Sebastian later uses it after the previous owner dies.

Others

Warden Crossbow

A crossbow created by MOBIUS based on the Agony Crossbow from the first game. It fires sideways unlike the first game.

Flamethrower

Custom made flamethrowers are used by Harbingers (Theodore's followers). Liam O'Neil uses one when he is turned into one. Sebastian later uses O'Neil after repairing it.
