Automatic Turrets
Auto Turrets are part of War Machine’s Armory. As the name suggests, they are machine gun turrets that lock onto enemies. This weapon is great for any time you’re fighting multiple people at once, as it helps relieve some of the pressure. It’s your little shooting buddy.
Captain America's Shield
The shield can be used in two different ways. One is to throw it at your enemies, because apparently you are worthy of receiving it. When you throw the shield, it will bounce off various objects and hit everything near it before bouncing back at you. The other use is the more traditional shield method of blocking incoming damage.
Mysterious Gloves of Doom
Doom's Arcane Gauntlets are similar to last season's Magneto Power in that they launch projectiles at enemies. His main attack lets you launch arcane energy at enemies, but it's primarily meant for close range. His secondary attack launches you into the air and fires a massive beam that covers the immediate area.
Dual Micro Submachine Guns
Dual Micro SMGs are pretty simple to understand. As the name suggests, they are two Micro SMGs that excel in close-range combat. But be careful, because they can easily destroy ammunition.
Hover Jets
Hover Jets are part of the War Machine kit. These deal no damage at all. Instead, they allow you to fly through the air for a short period of time, which is great for getting the upper hand on enemies while trying to reach high ground.
Monarch Pistol
The Monarch Pistol is a weapon that Doom drops after being killed. The weapon is a semi-automatic weapon. It can be used in medium range combat and packs a big punch.
Sovereign Pump Action Rifle
The Sovereign Shotgun is a weapon dropped by Mysterio. Other than being a powerful shotgun, it's nothing too special.
Striker Explosive Assault Rifle
Emma Frost uses the Striker Burst Assault Rifle, a powerful weapon that, like the Sovereign Shotgun, requires no real modification.
