DoC Gun Parts Artwork

Artwork of numerous gun parts

Guns in Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- can be customized using different frames, options, accessories, and barrels. Which accessory is used where changes the stats of the weapons, so this is a major part of the gameplay. Weapon upgrades and parts can be bought at shops throughout the game, which are shaped as jukeboxes, and at the end of every Chapter.

Stats[]

There are seven statistics that determine the effectiveness of weapons. The stats max out at 500 and can only go as low as 0, except Weight.

Stat Description
Weight This determines how fast Vincent can run while in shooting mode. The higher the Weight, the slower Vincent moves. Oddly, it does not affect his speed while the gun is at his side.
Speed Determines the rate of fire.
Power Determines the damage done by the gun.
Range Determines the distance that a shot from the gun can travel.
Short Accuracy at short range.
Medium Accuracy at intermediate range.
Long Accuracy at long range.
Ammo The bullet capacity of the gun.

Handguns[]

Handguns are the most balanced guns in the game, decent at any range.

Cerberus[]

Cerberus III 540 80 105 60 120 125 75 5000 24

After the third upgrade, the Cerberus can travel one of three paths: P Cerberus, S Cerberus, or M Cerberus. The two other major guns, Griffon and Hydra also follow similar branching paths.

P Cerberus[]

This upgrade path a improvement in stopping power (drastic) and accuracy (higher than normal) at the cost of reduced firing rate and magazine capacity. P Cerberus can hold 18 bullets. It is the only upgrade path that deteriorates a stat. Others just offer no improvements.

S Cerberus[]

The path improves fire rate and weight only. All other stats remain the same as Cerberus III.

S Cerberus 420 95 105 60 120 125 75 10000 24

M Cerberus[]

M Cerberus features improvements on weight, stopping power and accuracy, albeit not as much as the P or S branches. In addition, each upgrade increases the magazine capacity.

M Cerberus 420 80 110 60 120 125 75 10000 48

Quantum Cerberus 240 80 120 60 130 135 80 26000 84

Shinra Handgun[]

Standard issue Shinra firearm, appearing exclusively in the tutorial. It is statistically identical to Cerberus, but only fires one bullet per shot, while Cerberus fires three.

Ultima Weapon[]

This is the most powerful weapon of the Handgun type, though first the player must upgrade a few very weak, seemingly joke weapons. It is not related to the Cerberus branches.

Machine Guns[]

DirgeofCerberusGriffonFrame

In comparison to other weapon classes, this class offers fully automated firing, larger magazine, slightly higher firing rate, worse accuracy, and very low effective range. The word "Machine Gun" is a misnomer for this class, as they resemble real-world assault rifles in look and behave like submachine guns.

As there is no Griffon III, the P/M/S upgrade path is chosen after Griffon II. This should be kept in mind when upgrading to avoid inadvertently choosing an incorrect upgrade path.

Griffon[]

Griffon 1050 150 25 20 65 55 20 1000 35
Griffon II 1050 150 35 20 65 55 20 2000 40

P Griffon[]

This upgrade path offers drastically improved firepower and superior accuracy in exchange for reduced firing rate and constrained magazine size. Range and weight remain unchanged from Griffon II.

P Griffon 1050 130 50 20 80 70 35 5000 35

Dueling Griffon 1050 130 75 20 90 80 45 26000 35

S Griffon[]

This path offers improved weight and rate of fire, as well as doubled range. Accuracy, firepower and ammo capacity remain the same as Griffon II, although the last upgrade offers a drastic improve in ammo capacity.

Gun Weight Speed Power Range Short Medium Long Price Ammo
S Griffon 810 200 35 20 65 55 20 5000 40

Sonic Griffon 300 200 35 40 65 55 20 26000 99

M Griffon[]

This path offers negligible improvements in all weight, firepower, rate of fire and accuracy as well as increased ammo capacity although the last two upgrades offer same weight improvements of the S Griffon path.

Gun Weight Speed Power Range Short Medium Long Price Ammo
M Griffon 900 150 35 20 65 55 20 5000 50

Blast Machine Gun[]

This weapon, unrelated to the Griffon branch of Guns, does not have very good stats, but is useful in its ability to knock down nearly all regular enemies.

Rifles[]

DirgeofCerberusHydraFrame

Rifles are slow weapons but are very precise and accurate. They have excellent range and work very reliably at long range. Combined with the Sniper Scope, they are the perfect weapon for long range combat.

Hydra[]

Hydra III 1050 65 160 150 125 125 150 5000 8

P Hydra[]

This branch drastically improves firepower, range and accuracy while keeping the weight unchanged, in exchange for drastic reduction in firing speed and ammo capacity. As an added bonus, Gigant Hydra can knock down all enemies, if they survive its shot. Clearly, this gun is exhibiting the same traits as a real-world bolt-action high-caliber armor-piercing sniper rifle and requires both Sniper Scope and Auto Reloader attachments. (See below)

P Hydra 1050 55 185 150 140 145 160 10000 5

Gigant Hydra 1050 1 280 200 160 160 180 26000 1

S Hydra[]

This branch offers drastic improvements in firing rate and huge strides in weight reduction, so much so that Feather Hydra is the lightest weapon of all. Accuracy, range and ammo capacity are also improved. Firepower suffers, but S Hydra branch still outperforms most Cerberus branches in all areas. (P Cerberus branch has more firepower and M Cerberus branch has more ammo.)

S Hydra 570 85 130 150 125 125 150 10000 7

M Hydra[]

The M branch offers improvement in all department, except accuracy. In neither area, the improvements are as good the other branches, except in ammo capacity.

Gun Weight Speed Power Range Short Medium Long Price Ammo
M Hydra 570 55 160 150 125 125 150 10000 16

Bayonet Rifle[]

This weapon is the most powerful booster of Melee attacks in the game. It is also an effective rifle with sufficient stats. It is not a relative of the Hydra family.

Death Penalty[]

This is the most powerful weapon in the entire game, with perfect stats all around. It is used by Vincent's Chaos form in the Chapter 12.

Other[]

These barrels are all unrelated to the three major barrel types. None can be bought in stores, instead they must be found throughout the game. Guard N Barrel increases the player's defense. Lucky S Barrel doubles the EXP the player gains upon each kill made. Unfortunately its range stats and accuracy are incredibly low, so it is not very useful in combat. Faerie L Barrel is extremely lightweight.
