Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is an excellent standalone expansion that shifts the focus away from Nate and his group. Instead, Chloe Frazer takes the lead this time, along with Nadine Ross in a supporting role. Both female characters are beloved by the fandom, so they were glad to find out that they would get hefty screen time in an adventure made just for these two treasure hunters. The Lost Legacy is full to the brim with creative encounters, engaging puzzles, and lots of climbing.
Of course, combat plays a huge part in The Lost Legacy. Throughout their journey, players will gain access to a whole host of weapons that can be used to wreak havoc with ease. Players who want the best weapons in their arsenal should look no further than the following amazing weapons present in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.
Updated on November 13, 2022, by Ritwik Mitra: Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is an excellent standalone expansion that focuses on a side adventure involving Chloe and Nadine, two great characters from the series that definitely deserved more screen time of their own. The Lost Legacy features a bunch of awe-inspiring environments and set pieces that are a joy to go through, with each combat encounter being quite dynamic in its own right. Players will need the best firearms around to get through most of these situations, with the best weapons of the bunch being mentioned below.
15 S-12 Shotgun
Shotguns are a great way to dispatch enemies at close range in most games, and The Lost Legacy is no exception here. The S-12 Shotgun is especially effective in this regard, even if it might have some drawbacks of its own.
This gun holds only four rounds and takes a while to reload, so players need to make every shot count. Being accurate with this shotgun is pretty rewarding since most regular enemies will be easily downed with a single shot.
14 Spezzotti 12 Gauge
Speaking of shotguns that take a while to reload, another gun that comes to mind is the Spezzotti 12 Gauge. As is the case with the S-12, this weapon also has four rounds and a very slow rate of fire to boot.
Of course, the power behind every shot more than makes up for this drawback. The Spezzotti 12 Gauge is a great gun for blind firing, meaning that players can essentially mow down any charging enemy from behind cover without rendering themselves vulnerable to enemy fire in the process.
13 Pistole
Most sidearms in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy aren't exactly viable in most situations, and most players would prefer using heavier weapons instead, This is precisely why the Pistole stands out as such a unique and powerful weapon.
This weapon essentially functions as a sidearm shotgun, having a ton of power and taking down enemies at close range with a single shot. It might hold only two bullets and require frequent reloads, but the very fact that it's such a powerful sidearm more than makes up for this drawback.
12 Arrowhead A3c
Automatic rifles are some of the most common weapons that players will use in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. This makes it important to get acquainted with such weapons that appear across the campaign.
The Arrowhead A3c is one such rifle that is a blast to use, especially because of how fast its rate of fire is. Just make sure to replenish its ammunition at regular intervals, since this gun absolutely eats through bullets in a single spray.
11 Harbinger Sniper
Snipers might be pretty situational in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, but there's no denying that they pack a punch when used properly. So, during long-range encounters, the player will always benefit from using a sniper to pick off enemies at range.
The Harbinger Sniper is a pretty great sniper in this regard, being pretty accurate and deadly. As is the case with most snipers in the game, this weapon should be discarded if a group of enemies manages to close the distance before players had the opportunity to eliminate them at range.
10 Silenced Pistol
The Silenced Pistol is a godsend in Lost Legacy. After all, the new Uncharted games have a major focus on stealth, making these encounters all the more engaging to resolve with a different approach.
In this context, the Silenced Pistol is a massive help. It allows players to land silent headshots or pepper an enemy with bullets without anyone finding out about their position, which is invaluable to defeating all enemies without raising the alarm.
9 Mazur LDR
Sniper rifles are great weapons to use in the Uncharted games. However, unlike the other weapons in the series, sniper rifles aren't all that abundant and lack the ammunition required to become mainstays in a player's arsenal.
That being said, the Mazur LDR appears frequently enough to make for a fun distraction as players blast their way across the map and pick enemies off one at a time. The Harbinger Sniper is also a wonderful weapon, although it appears far too rarely to give off a strong impression.
8 RPG
The RPG is a good old-fashioned missile launcher that any fan of modern military shooters would be familiar with. It's a reliable gun that can blast enemies at range, making for a great spectacle.
Of course, as is the case with most ultra-powerful weapons in the game, the RPG is available in a limited quantity throughout The Lost Legacy. However, its appearances are quite iconic and make for some of the most explosive parts of the overall experience... quite literally!
7 China Lake GL
The China Lake Grenade Launcher is one of the most damaging weapons in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. It has a surprisingly large magazine capacity and can decimate most enemies with ease.
Of course, it can also be a huge pain to deal with in the hands of heavy enemies who can kill Chloe in just a few shots. In such combat encounters, players should kill the enemies wielding this weapon first before taking it for themselves and clearing the entire area in record time.
6 Desert - 5
The Desert - 5 is one of the most lethal and enjoyable weapons to use in the game. A single shot from this pistol is enough to take down most enemies, making it a very satisfying weapon to use in The Lost Legacy.
However, the Desert - 5 suffers from a lack of ammunition. This is to be expected since the weapon is so powerful that giving too many bullets to the player will make most combat encounters completely arbitrary.
5 P90
A reliable machine gun that hits for a ton of damage, the P90 is an excellent weapon with decent hoards of ammunition present across the game's environments. Shooting out an endless stream of bullets with this powerful gun never fails to be entertaining.
For the most part, machine guns are the best primary weaponsUncharted: The Lost Legacy players can keep in their arsenal, due to their ability to be a jack-of-all-trades. The P90 falls within this category, being one of the more notable and engaging weapons to use on this list.
4 Type 95
When it comes to choosing the best common machine gun in the game, the Type 95 takes the cake. It might have a slower rate of fire than the P90, but its increased damage output more than makes up for this minor deficiency.
This is a gun that players can rely on in almost any situation, with its stopping power being downright incredible for a common weapon. Players who master this machine gun will find the entirety of Lost Legacy to be a breeze.
3 DShK
The DShK is a heavy machine gun that players can stumble upon in a particularly intense firefight. Most elite enemies carry this weapon, and players should dispose of these gunners as soon as possible before focusing on other enemies.
The DShK might prevent players from getting into cover, but that doesn't really matter given its immense power. Most enemies will fall after a light spray from this weapon, making it a satisfying weapon to clear out waves of enemies quickly and efficiently.
2 US-AN 12 Auto Shotgun
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy features several shotguns that can deal impressive damage at close range. However, none of the regular shotguns even come close to the brilliance of the US-AN 12 Auto Shotgun.
Again, this is a weapon that certain elites carry in Lost Legacy, so players should try avoiding close-range combat with these enemies and picking them off from a distance. A single shot is enough to down enemies, with the weapon having enough ammunition to last multiple encounters despite being a rare weapon.
1 Carrigan 53
Speaking of rare weapons, it would be impossible to not mention the Carrigan 53. This incredible machine gun is easily the most satisfying weapon to use in The Lost Legacy by a country mile.
Its massive ammo clip and ridiculous rate of fire make short work of most enemies. Even the toughest enemies in the game will have a hard time weathering the storm of the best weapon in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is available on PS4 and PS5. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, which includes Lost Legacy, is set to launch on PC in 2022.
