Weapons

This is a sub-page of Proto:Duke Nukem Forever/1996.

To do: Add/find out/verify names of weapons here. Add images/gifs of weapons in action. Rip all of the graphics for the weapons. Any unused features related to these?

Weapons are present in the builds. When selecting a weapon, a voice (presumably of Darrin Hurd, the lead developer) will play stating which weapon you've selected. Many of these sounds are incorrectly mapped to each other. Quite strangely, Weapons 5 and 6 have a voice of an unknown woman.

Trying to select a depleted weapon will cause you swap back to the weapon you were just holding, with both selection sounds playing at the same time.
