Weapons
There are many different types of weapons in Rogue Trader. Broadly speaking they can be divided into Melee and Ranged, and further divided into Single Handed and Two Handed. There are also different families that weapons belong to that can determine which of the games talents and items effect them. For ranged these are; Solid Projectile, Las, Bolters, Plasma, Flamers, Meltas and Exotic. For melee there are; Primitive, Chain, Power, Force, Blade and Rocksaw. Finally there are Shields which also count as a weapon and can be used to make a Shield Bash attack.
Each character has two weapon sets that they can swap between freely during combat. A character can equip two single handed weapons (melee or ranged) or one two handed weapon in each set. Shields take up one slot in each set, limiting the character to one handed weapons, unless the Shield Mastery talent is taken.
Apart from Las, Solid Projectile and Exotic weapons the other ranged weapon types require proficiency talents to use, some companions will start with proficiencies for free but if you wish your Rogue Trader to specialise in any you will need to spend a Common Talent on them.
A full list of all weapons available in the game can be found on the Weapon Category page.
