System Shock 2 Hints
Heavy Weapons
Heavy weapons are the grenade launcher, stasis field generator, and fusion cannon. Be careful with the grenade launcher and fusion cannon -- both have area affects, and if you shoot a target at close range, you can do damage to yourself as well. The stasis field generator can be set to have an area affect, or you can target a single creature. Between the wide range of grenade types and the other two kinds of weapons, heavy weapons are very versatile.
You will, however, need a high Strength (up to 4) to use them. The ammunition for these weapons also tends to be more scarce than for other weapons, so have at least one backup weapon skill. A backup skill also will help you with close-up attacks, especially for when you don't have the ammunition or skill to use the stasis field generator.
