}}This is a page for '''weapons''' used in [[Alan Wake 2]]. For '''weapons''' used in [[Alan Wake (Game)|Alan Wake]] and ''[[Alan Wake's American Nightmare]], see [[Weapons]].

== Weapons of Alan Wake 2 Overview ==
Both [[Saga Anderson]] and [[Alan Wake]] can find and use a variety of '''weapons''' during ''[[Alan Wake 2]]''; however, unlike in previous games, inventory carries over between chapters, and Saga and Alan can upgrade attributes of each weapon. 

== Saga Anderson's Weapons ==
Saga starts ''[[Alan Wake 2]]'' with only her FBI service pistol, but can find additional weapons during her chapters. Saga can upgrade her weapons using Manuscript Fragments, which are located inside [[Alex Casey Lunchboxes]]. There are not enough fragments to fully upgrade all weapons in a single playthrough.

Each time a weapon is upgraded, a short scene with Alan Wake narrating part of a manuscript page will play. These scenes are not replayable.

}}Saga Anderson starts the game with her FBI service '''Pistol'''.
* '''Again and Again:''' Hold the fire button to activate auto-fire mode. This significantly increases the rate of fire.
** ''18 Manuscript Fragments''
{{Quote|To Saga, with a heightened survival instinct kicking in- it seemed like she had just squeezed down the trigger of her pistol once as the Taken was coming closer and closer, but the gun kept firing again and again, faster than possible, like she was rapidly pulling the trigger.}}
* '''More Bullets''': Increases the magazine size by 50%.
** ''12 Manuscript Fragments''
{{Quote|Saga had lost count of how many shots she’d fired, but she was sure- it must have been more than she had in her magazine- and yet, she had not run out of ammo, as if the magazine had grown to fit more bullets. She fired again.}}
* '''Another Headshot''': Land two headshots in quick succession to stun an enemy for an extended duration.
** ''12 Manuscript Fragments''
{{Quote|Saga was sure she had hit the Taken in the head, but it had not even slowed the monster down. She took aim and fired again. Another headshot. This time, the Taken staggered.}}

* '''Fluid Motion''': Increase reload speed.
** ''16 Manuscript Fragments''
{{Quote|In one fluid motion, Saga cracked open the shotgun- sending the empty hulls flying over her shoulder, and slammed the new shells in, faster than she had imagined possible.}}
* '''Out of Action''': Deals increased damage to enemies that are stunned, blinded, or knocked down.
** ''14 Manuscript Fragments''
{{Quote|The Taken was momentarily out of action. But not for long. Saga raised the sawn-off shotgun to stop it, once and for all.}}
* '''Ready for More''': Kill an enemy to restore health. The amount of restored health depends on the strength of the enemy.
** ''18 Manuscript Fragments''
{{Quote|The report of the shotgun rang in the air. The enemy fell. Saga felt a surge of new energy. She’d been dead tired before, but was ready for more now. She would get through this. She continued on.}}
