Description
The Auger Heavy Penetrating Rifle is a Chimeran weapon commonly utilized by Steelheads. It is first obtained in Manchester - "The Cathedral". After fighting off the horde of Leapers, two Steelheads will attack through a dust cloud. Killing them will allow the player to obtain the weapon.The Auger fires bursts of transient radiation that will tunnel through solid matter and increase in power with each object they burrow through. Hard surfaces are unaffected, but organic tissue will suffer severe burns. The Auger does have a relatively small ammunition capacity, but the bursts ignore cover so they are all potentially lethal.
The Auger's secondary fire deploys a small rectangular force barrier that is impervious to all weapon fire except fire from Augers. Enemies will suffer damage if they move through the barrier.

I imagine that this weapon would make game design a bit difficult since it can shoot though anything. Imagine having this gun in Call of Duty. lol

It is really fun, the problem is that that it linger inside walls and things for a short time, so the more ti has to pass through, the longer it takes to get places. Of course it is a gun that fires concentrated radiation bolts, so it's fun no matter what.

But the Resistance 3 Auger is the best around.

May not have the fastest RoF, nor the largest magazine capacity, nor the best shield (Resistance 2 shield was not only larger, but contrary to game description, it allows the player to shoot through their own shields, but deflects all other projectiles, even other Auger bolts), but various things combined made it the best. It could be upgraded, giving it a tougher shield that could damage nearby enemies, and three bolts per shot. Its shield was still bigger than the Fall of Man version. And most of all, its scope. In FoM, all that would happen would be the reticule would turn red, and it wouldn't always be accurate. In Resistance 2, enemies would glow green, but you'd have to have seen them directly (they wouldn't glow even if they were standing behind a glass Barrier)... in Resistance 3, just look down the very effective sight to see any enemy in range glow orange. And if you hit an enemy beyond the range of the scanner, they would appear as well. While this means there is no automatic display like in Resistance 2, because the Scope offers much better precision, you're likely to use it anyway. Besides, if you're behind cover, you have time to aim, and even if you don't because of Steelheads, you can accurately aim in the right spot to bring them down fast.

In my opinion, all weapons are the best in Resistance 3 (all that have appeared in other games). Bullseye is a very prominent one, and it's a helluva lot more useful now.

I do like the weapons in R3, But there are some I love in R2 like the Bellock.

Some weapons from Resistance FoM would be nice... like the Dragon. And the Splitter, which is essentially the RYNO of the Resistance universe.

Were you ever able to properly use the Reapers? Those Uzi like guns in the first game that Slipskulls use?

Not really. Never liked them.

They were a little hard to use. Hard to track two targets. The Dragon on the other hand... and Backlash Grenades.

Backlash Grenades were so useful. Especially against Leapers and Steelheads.

Yep. Run into them like lemmings off a cliff.

And Steelheads get their own shots reflected back at them. An effective shield.
