Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (2008)

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is an open-world third-person shooter video game developed by the now defunct Pandemic Studios (known for games like Full Spectrum Warrior or The Saboteur). It is a sequel to Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. The game takes place in the war-torn Venezuela. The player assumes the role of a betrayed mercenary trying to get revenge on his/her employers after a set up.

The game was released by Electronic Arts in 2008 for the PC, Xbox 360, PS2 and PS3 platforms.

The following weapons appear in the video game Mercenaries 2: World in Flames:
