Red Faction: Guerrilla, weapons are categorized according to factions. There are three factions within the game; Red Faction, Earth Defence Force and Marauders. Total amount of the weapons are twenty-nine (excluding vehicles and turrets).

Red Faction Weaponry[]

The Red Faction arsenal consists mostly of explosive, improvised weaponry. Red Faction weapons are mostly geared towards destroying structures, though many are also made for anti-vehicle purposes. Few are specifically geared towards anti-infantry. Aesthetically, most of these faction weapons are jury-rigged from various mechanical and improvised parts or tools.

There are three sets of Red Faction weapons: Ranged, placed, and melee. Most of the projectile weapons are rather bulky, and are required to be held and fired from the hip versus being fired from the shoulder. Placed weapons are explosive and are for the purposes of setting traps or taking out structural supports quickly.

There is only one Red Faction melee weapon; the Sledgehammer, which is meant for both anti-infantry and anti-structural use. The are two variants of the Sledgehammer, which are both stronger than the original and differ aesthetically. Almost all Red Faction weapons can be upgraded by Samanya at a safehouse in exchange for salvage.

Earth Defense Force Weaponry[]

Most of The EDF arsenal consists of advanced weapons geared towards anti-infantry use. Aside from mounted and placed weapons, EDF weaponry is meant for anti-infantry use at range. Only one EDF weapon has any anti-vehicle capabilities, and only one EDF weapon has any structural damage capabilities. Aesthetically, EDF weapons are high-tech and rather sleek, and most are shoulder-fired.

Marauder Weaponry[]

The Marauder arsenal, like the Red Faction arsenal, consists of improvised weaponry. Except for Downloadable Content weapons, all Marauder weapons are meant for anti-infantry use at close range. Aesthetically, Marauder weapons are very primitive and tribal.
