-====== Star Trek: Voyager – Elite Force Weapons and Items ======
+====== Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force Weapons and Items ======
 There is a set of standard weapons in Elite Force and a handful of hidden weapons (some of which can be used in mods or with cheats). Here is an overview:
-==== Weapons ====
+===== Weapons =====
 Virtually all weapons have two different fire modes. The normal mode is on the left mouse button, the alternative on <key>ALT</key>. The latter is usually bound to the right mouse button for convenience. Some firing modes differ considerably, others only differ in fire power and rate (and ammo consumption). Weapons can be switched by default with the scroll wheel and their number buttons. Weapons with surface damage (Splash-Damage) can also harm you. The respawn time of the weapons themselves is determined by the server. The respawn time of the ammunition is 40 seconds. The damage can be changed by a damage factor on the server side (e.g. 2 means twice as much damage) and by influencing the double damage factor (e.g. can also be four times instead of twice).
-=== Phaser ===
+==== Phaser ====
 | {{:games:ef1_phaser.png?nolink&200 |}} | The phaser is the minimum equipment. It has relatively little firepower, but its ammunition recharges itself. Therefore there is no ammunition item for it. The alternative mode causes more damage, but also drains the energy faster. At great distances it is largely useless because it is far too inaccurate. Medium and short distances are no problem. |

+==== Phaser Compression Rifle ====
 | {{:games:compression_rifle.png?nolink&200 |}} | {{ :games:compression_rifle_munition.png?nolink&75|}}The compression rifle deals considerably more damage, especially in alternative (sniper) mode. The latter becomes the only mode in disintegration mode. Especially in sniper mode you can still hit quite well at long distances. In the campaign, the rifle also has the ability to cause no noise in sniper mode. |

+==== I-Mod ====
 | {{:games:ef1_umod.png?nolink&200 |}} | {{ :games:ef1_umod_ammo.png?nolink&50|}}The I-Mod is, so to speak, the sister weapon of the compression rifle, with the difference that it is the only one that ignores the shields (including portable force fields!) entirely, i.e. strikes directly at the health instead of first reducing the shields. Most other weapons first reduce the shields to zero and only after that subtract health, or do both types of damage simultaneously. As with the compression rifle, the alternative mode is much stronger, but also costs more energy. |

 | {{:games:ef1_scavenger.png?nolink&200 |}} | {{ :games:ef1_scavanger_munition.png?nolink&60|}}The Scavenger Rifle is best compared to a submachine gun (scatters strongly, comparatively slow spread of the bullets), which shoots ballistically in the alternative mode plasma bursts (grenade launcher, does not bounce). The grenade launcher reaches medium ranges at most. The primary mode scatters strongly especially at longer distances, the secondary mode has splash damage. |

+==== Stasis Weapon ====
 | {{:games:ef1_stasis.png?nolink&152 |}} | {{ :games:ef1_statsis_munition.png?nolink&60|}}Most similar to a shotgun in primary fire mode. At short range it is very effective, at long range not, because the fired vortices are relatively slow. In alternate mode, it fires five spreading beams, similar to the compression rifle or the U-Mod. The middle one hits as similar to the I-Mod. Both firing modes go roughly 50:50 through the shields, damaging in health and shields at the same time. |

+==== Compound Grenade Launcher ====
 | {{:games:ef1_granatwerfer.png?nolink&200 |}} | {{ :games:ef1_granatwerfer_munition.png?nolink&75|}}The grenade launcher is named just right. The primary mode shoots ballistic grenades that also bounce off walls and other obstacles. The alternative mode is similar, except that the grenade doesn't bounce off walls and other obstacles, but remains a mine on the obstacle. However, it triggers after a short moment. The trajectory is flatter but straighter than in primary mode. The range is relatively limited. In Specialties mode the mines remain permanently active and are equipped with a laser. If the laser beam is crossed by a player, the mine triggers. This allows to effectively trap a room. The line of fire is straight. Mines can also trigger each other if they are placed too close to each other. The splash damage of both modes can also hit you. The grenade launcher is not automatically used when you pick it up. |

+==== Tetryon Pulse Disruptor ====
 | {{:games:ef1_tetryon.png?nolink&200 |}} | {{ :games:ef1_tetryon_munition.png?nolink&75|}}The Tetryon Pulse Disruptor is most comparable to a machine gun in primary fire mode. High firepower, beam fire, but some dispersion. On long distances you hit very badly with it. The alternative mode is especially interesting when the target is around the corner, because the fired bullets bounce several times, similar to the grenades of the grenade launcher, only without the effects of gravity. But the fire rate is much higher. The primary firing mode is only partially blocked by shields. A fraction always hits on health. The rest reduces shields. |

 | {{:games:ef1_photon.png?nolink&200 |}} | {{ :games:ef1_photon_munition.png?nolink&75|}}This weapon corresponds to the classic rocket launchers found in [[..:Quake 3 Arena]] or [[..:Unreal Tournament 2004]]. The primary mode fires a torpedo, with relatively much damage and relatively high airspeed. Splash Damage is extremely high. The alternate mode is similar. The torpedo has more firepower, pursues its target with limited agility, but spreads slower. In both cases a dodge is still relatively well possible. The weapon is not selected automatically when you pick it up. |

The alternate mode shoots a kind of ball lightning that deals high damage and has a larger cross section. At medium to long distances, the weapon is not very accurate. |

+==== Borg Weapon ====
 | {{:games:ef1_borgwaffe.png?nolink&100 |}} | The Borg weapon is used in the campaign by the Borg, in multiplayer only by Mods. The assimilation mod uses it for the Borg team.

 The Hypospray as a usable item is a healing item in the Specialties mod, which can be used by players with the role of Medic on other players. The difference in healing for alternate and primary modes is the amount of health boost for the recipient.

+==== Ultritium Mine ====
 | {{:games:ef1_ultritium.png?nolink&50 |}} | The counterpart to the Redeemer of [[..:Unreal Tournament]] is a small explosive charge, which you first have to lay, and which you can then detonate remotely. But it can, like the Redeemer, be destroyed beforehand by the enemy without exploding. The Splash-Damage is very high and in a larger radius the mine will move the players on the map. |

-| {{:games:ef1_forcefield.png?nolink&50 |}} | Force fields can only be crossed by players of the own team (if available). They remain in place for one minute. In [[..:mods:elite_force_pinball_mod|Pinball Mod]], the effect is changed so that nobody is allowed to touch the force field, otherwise they die immediately. The force field can be destroyed by weapons prematurely. A single photon torpedo with [[#Quantum Weapon Enhancer|double damage]], for example, destroys it instantly. |

 There are various items that give you bonuses or special abilities. Some of them have a temporary effect. If you lose those, the person who collects the item will continue with the same countdown where the previous owner left off.
-=== Quantum Weapon Enhancer ===
