Players start off with a 1911 Pistol in the Vaas: Insanity story mission. Since this secondary weapon isn’t enough for boss fights and harder difficulty levels, the game gives you several other weapons to play with. You can select from a total of nine weapons, including the 1911 pistol.

In order to get these weapons, you’ll have to earn them by completing Armory Challenges scattered across the map in various Weapon Temples as shown in the image below. These are depicted by the lock and key symbol.

Here’s a list of all eight Armory Challenges and the Weapon Cases as seen in the Vaas DLC map:

  • Gun Show: Machine GunUnlocks - M60 NV Specialist WeaponDifficulty Level - ThreeGun Show: ShotgunUnlocks - SBS Primary WeaponDifficulty Level - ThreeGun Show: Sniper RifleUnlocks - .308 Carbine Specialist WeaponDifficulty Level - ThreeGun Show: BowUnlocks - Recurve Bow Specialist WeaponDifficulty Level - TwoGun Show: RifleUnlocks - AK-47 Primary WeaponDifficulty Level - FourGun Show: Grenade LauncherUnlocks - M-79 Specialist WeaponDifficulty Level - FourGun Show: Auto Pistol Unlocks - SMG-11 Secondary WeaponDifficulty Level - ThreeGun Show: SMG Unlocks - BZ19 Primary WeaponDifficulty Level - Four

All of these challenges have the same objective i.e., to eliminate specific amount of enemies. The higher the difficulty, the more enemies you have to kill. So it’s advisable to collect cash and upgrade your existing weapon first before going for higher difficulty missions.

  • Unlocks - M60 NV Specialist WeaponDifficulty Level - Three

  • Unlocks - SBS Primary Weapon

  • Difficulty Level - Three

  • Unlocks - .308 Carbine Specialist Weapon

  • Difficulty Level - Four

Successfully completing these missions will unlock specific Weapon Cases. You can then access and upgrade said weapon from the safehouse. You can complete the Armory Challenge for whatever weapon you want to unlock and try first.

Although some guns are just better than others, such as the SBS Shotgun, you can’t go wrong with any weapon once you upgrade it. In case you die during a mission, the weapons, cash, and other items you are carrying will be lost. However, your weapon upgrades remain intact.
