The Dispersion Pistol
HotKey 1
The Dispersion Pistol is the first weapon you find in the game. It is also the weapon you should use whenever possible, as it is the only weapon which regenerates its own ammunition for you. Because it is so useful, be sure to keep looking for Dispersion Pistol power-up items. If your Dispersion Pistol is low on ammo, take a rest in some safe spot for a while until it fully charges.
The Dispersion Pistols primary fire is one quick shot. The alternate fire is slower to build up, but you can deliver a stronger shot after charging by releasing the button. This is best used for shooting an unsuspecting enemy, or for charging up and then ducking around a corner to shoot a Tentacle or other stationary monster. After you find some power-ups, you can tap the alternate fire button to get a quick low power shot to open crates without draining too much charge from the pistol.
You can also use the Dispersion Pistol shot to light up a dark area. Just be careful not to run out of power while doing this.
If you can get an Amplifier, the Dispersion Pistol turns into the most damaging weapon in the game. Save that Amplifier for really tough monsters!
