Other Info: Online Mode
The Rossmore 236 is a close-quarter weapon. It is relatively useless at long range, but can cause serious damage when in close proximity to the enemy. It comes with
two different types of shot; the primary fire providing a single shot; and the secondary fire providing a double shot, which uses two shells at the same time, but as
a consequence creates a larger gap between shots.
Against the lower-order Chimeran forces, such as
Menials and Hybrids,
the Rossmore 236 is very effective. However, against tougher enemies such as the Steelhead,
it is not the best, infact, it's generally an encounter where the player will come off second best, especially on the harder difficulties.
Obtained: The Rossmore 236 is acquired during the first playthrough in Grimsby - "Fate Worse Than Death". After gaining the second checkpoint in the
level, the Rossmore 236 is underneath some stairs that lead up to some wooden decking.
Tip: The Rossmore 236 is exceedingly effective against both Leapers
and Rollers, so whenever you see some rolling around, or bursting out of their
eggs, arm yourself with the Rossmore 236 and go to town.
