Blue Class Weapons

― Informational message from Doorway Into Hell.

**Blue Class Weapons** are weapons that can be used numerous times without breaking after executing a Hunter. Unlike Green Class Weapons, executions with these weapons cause noise that can be heard by nearby hunters, but this feature does not exist in *Manhunt 2* except for executions performed with firearms. Weapons of this class range from melee weapons to small arms and generally deal more damage than Green weapons. Due to their size, Blue class weapons in both games are stored on the right side of the player's belt and are usually wielded with one hand.

Blue class weapons appear in both games, *Manhunt* and *Manhunt 2*. In *Manhunt*, blue class weapons are first introduced in the scene Doorway Into Hell in the form of the Hoods' Blackjack. In *Manhunt 2*, they are first introduced to the player in the episode Ghosts in the form of a Watchdog's Crowbar, but their first appearance is in Awakening where inmates and orderlies alike beat each other with Nightsticks.

## *Manhunt*

“*Brought back into fashion by Starkweather, this medieval weapon is frequently used by the Innocents. The hand axe is a devastating weapon. Own one today. - $124*”
“*Ideal for home improvement as well as bashing a victim's head, this utilitarian weapon is great for eye gouging. Made out of galvanized steel, this is a deadly tool that can provide the ultimate headache. These are the actual hammers that were used in Starkweather's "Doing Time". Great for the home or on the streets of Carcer City, order now! - $60*”
“*Back to basics, in all hand-to-hand combat situations, a knife comes in handy whether it's used for a straight out fight or a sneak attack. These are exact replicas of the knives seen throughout Starkweather's scenes. Handcrafted and individually numbered, these knives are available exclusively to our members. This will look handsome in anyone's collection. - $150*”
“*Designed to cut through thick vegetation such as sugar cane and jungle undergrowth, it also lends itself well to be used as an offensive weapon as well. This is the favored weapon for the Wardogs who inflict ghastly injuries as seen in "Grounds for Assault." Order now and we'll throw in a sheath. - $354*”
“*The preferred weapon of the “Smileys”, this handy tool is weighted to cut through meat in a single motion. As seen in playbacks, Starkweather's leading man James Earl Cash is also a fan of the cleaver, surprising his enemy by slicing his torso and then gripping his hair and decapitating him in three quick chops. As a dual-purpose tool for the kitchen or on the streets of Carcer City, this is one of the most practical tools offered to our members. Order yours todayand we'll throw in a sharpener for your cleaver. - $100*”
“*The official weapon of the CCPD (Carcer City Police Department). Whether in a crowd control situation or a routine traffic stop, the Carcer City cops aren't shy when it comes to using their nightsticks. Check out the “Carcer City Riot” to see this weapon used by real pros. Now own your own Carcer City Police issued nightstick…Available to our members only - $150*”
“*Starkweather revives this 18th century weapon in his feature called “Drunk Driving”. The preferred weapon of the “Innocentz”, the sickle is used in much the same way as it was in the French revolution…grotesquely. In one scene, the “hero”, the now infamous James Earl Cash, eliminates one of the Innocents, grabs his sickle and goes on a one-man rampage. Using stealth as an ally, he sneaks up on his prey and eviscerates them. A handsome collectors item for any weaponry buff…this is a must for any collector. - $300*”
“*The latest version of the gun, which the CCPD use, takes a .50 caliber round, which is strong enough to stop a charging bull. Some of the hunters and most of the Cerberus are armed with these powerful weapons. The Avenger is almost as dangerous as the people holding them. - $1200 (no serial number)*”
“*Starkweather's personal henchmen: the Cerberus and Carcer City SWAT teams carry the model 23, with a .40 caliber cartridge. These potent weapons have an unbelievable rate of fire for a semi-automatic pistol. The first 10 orders will receive a stainless steel carrying case… so act FAST! - $700 (no serial number)*”
“*As seen in “Fueled by Hate”, this weapon fires in surprisingly rapid succession. The ammunition is 4 inch stainless steel nails. These weapons are ineffective when fired from anywhere beyond 6 feet. But closer than this, three to four shots aimed at the chest or head can usually bring down your prey. These nail guns are now available to our members. Order now and receive 10 packs (30/pack) stainless steel 4” nails. - $225 (no serial number)*”
“*Originally designed for the uniformed police, this .38 caliber weapon made its way onto the streets of Carcer City and the black market when the police armory convoy was hijacked last year. Starkweather has armed his hunters with these weapons for many of his movies. Now as a special offer to our members, we have obtained the same weapons from the supplier that equipped Starkweather's hunters, order yours while supplies last! - $1200 (no serial number)*”
“*Carcer City's SWAT team are outfitted with this devastating submachine gun. The SPAZ MARK 1 is many gun nut's weapon of choice, possessing tremendous firepower. Order now and receive 500 rounds free! - $900 (no serial number)*”

## *Manhunt 2*

Unlike *Manhunt*’s Blue weapons, certain Blue melee weapons in *Manhunt 2* have the ability to destroy heads during their executions, something that the first game's Baseball Bat variants and Chainsaw can only do.

All Blue class firearms in *Manhunt 2* (except the Tranquilizer Gun and the Flare Gun which incinerates hunters regardless of where they were shot at, but can still explode any heads with their executions) can destroy heads during combat with a well-placed headshot fired within a specific range between the player and the target.
