Basic Weapons research
The Basic Weapons research entry describes blueprints for standard melee weapons and firearms, and lists two ammo research unlocks.
How it works
The research page calls this Level 1 and says it provides blueprints to craft basic melee weapons and firearms. It lists Blaster, Standard Shotgun, Small Machinegun, Sword, Spear, Hammer, Power Fist, Liquid Weapons, and Explosive Weapons as standard unlocks, and separately says it unlocks Low Caliber Mech Ammo and High Caliber Mech Ammo. It warns the weapons might prove too weak as the mission progresses.
Read the supporting references
Source-bounded reference to one basic weapons research entry and player-reported mech upgrade crafting observations. Steam metadata establishes game identity and broad context, not detailed mechanics. The research passage names weapon unlocks but gives no individual weapon effects. The community guide describes upgrade categories and attributed modifiers; its opinions and uncertain claims should remain attributed. Guidance explains the referenced mechanics; it is not a tested damage ranking. Check the stated edition and source version before applying a patch-specific detail.
