MELEE WEAPONS

Rebellion:
Dante starts the game with this keepsake. It is a heavily ornamented sword with a good balance of speed, reach and power.

Vendetta:
Found on Mission 7 in the Oil Derrick, The Vendetta is Dante's most powerful sword, with the shortest reach and slowest speed.

Merciless:
Found in mission 11 above the ceiling spikes, or in mission 14 near where Dante jumped that gap on his motorcycle, the Merciless has the longest reach and decent speed, but it severely lacks in power.

Cutlaseer:
Lucia's default weapons, The Cutlaseer's are a pair of bowed daggers that possess excellent speed and good power for their range.

Klaymores:
Found in mission 3, in the same room that Dante first fought Orrenguerra; The Klaymores have better range and seem to pack a harder punch than the Cutlaseers.

Zambak:
Found in mission 10 near where Dante jumped over the broken road with his motorcycle, the Zambak, similar to the Vendetta, pack the hardest punch with an extremely short range.

FIREARMS

Ebony & Ivory:
Dante's Custom Built Beauties make a return appearance and this time their packing a level up function. Dante can also use these to engage the Twosome Time to target multiple enemies. Keep in mind that if Dante has another weapon out, such as the Shotgun or Rocket Launcher, he will keep Ebony in his off hand for Twosome time.

Sub-machineguns:
Found in Mission 11 or 17, the Submachine guns are a pair of Heckler & Koch MP5Ks, originally designed as a close quarters combat weapon, Dante puts them to extremely good use. Their 9mm rounds do not inflict as much damage as Ebony & Ivory, but they have an incredibly fast rate of fire, resulting in a good weapon to engage airborne enemies with. They also make more complex moves like the Juggle easier to perform. Keep in mind that Twosome Time is not available with the SMGs.

Shotgun:
Dante's trusty sawed-off makes a return appearance, and this time Dante has a few new tricks of the trade to show off. (See Attacks section for more info) The Shotgun is found in mission 5.

Rocket Launcher:
The "Rocket launcher" is a FIM-93A Stinger missile launcher. It is designed as a heat-seeking fire-and-forget weapon which packs a pretty strong punch. Due to tremendous recoil and the heft of the weapon, Dane cannot fire it in midair, and will instead switch to Ebony. The rocket launcher is found in Mission 9. If you miss it, you can pick it up again in Mission 14

Throwing knives:
Lucia starts the game with these little gems, and they are arguably her best long range weapon. They pack good power for their size and Lucia can perform a variation of the Twosome Time with them.

Darts:
Lucia can throw several of these darts at once, making them invaluable for multiple enemies. Upgrading these results in Lucia throwing more darts at a time. They are very slow. Found in mission 2 inside one of the breakable statues.

Cranky Bombs:
These can be found in mission 5 inside a box in the plane, they are small grenades that can be set down or thrown at an enemy. On the whole, they are vastly unpredictable and perhaps useless, but this is up to the discretion of the player.

Bow gun:
This gun can only be used underwater. It fires a quick burst of bolts at the enemy. This is Lucia's only long range option under water. You can find this in mission 6.
