You start the game off with only the basic .38 Police Special Revolver, a baton, and a Stun Gun. However, as you progress into the game, you’ll face off against more serious threats where these weapons won’t be of much use. You don’t need to do anything special to unlock the other weapons in the game. Instead, they’ll unlock automatically as and when you earn enough XP to reach certain specific ranks.

Apart from the three weapons that you begin with, you can unlock eight others throughout your playthrough. The following is a list of the weapons and the rank at which they unlock:

  • PS-12 Masterkey Shotgun unlocks at Recruit II
  • Cantius Rifle unlocks at Police Officer III

After you unlock all weapons in The Precinct, you can then change which weapons you want to carry. By default, you can carry one primary weapon alongside a secondary gun. However, you can unlock a third holster space by investing in the correct skill upgrades. The game allows you to choose which weapons you want to carry in the following ways:

  • You can choose the weapons before your shift begins by going to the armory in the Police Station.
  • If you need to swap weapons in the middle of your shift, you can open up the trunk of your car and do so. You can also refill ammo by interacting with the car’s trunk.
