También posee más tipos de munición esta vez:
 
 \cfGranadas "Blazer":\c- La munición estándar. Altamente explosivas a pesar de su diminuto tamaño, gracias a la Energía Ardiente superconcentrada que contienen.
 
 \cfGranadas en clúster "Crackshot":\c- Éstas explotan en granadas más pequeñas que se dispersan en el impacto, rebotando durante un tiempo antes de detonar.
 
-\cfGranadas incendiarias "Ravager":\c- Las Ravagers liberan una onda de Energía Ardiente sin refinar cuando detonan, cubriendo una zona amplia a su alrededor. Muy útiles en espacios cerrados, donde su plasma abrasador no se disipará tan fácilmente, tostando a conciencia todos los objetivos encontrados.

Muy útiles en espacios cerrados, donde su plasma abrasador no se disipará tan fácilmente, tostando a conciencia todos los objetivos encontrados. Por razones de seguridad este tipo de munición no se puede usar en ráfaga.
 
-\cfCabezas nucleares "Slayer":\c- Un favorito de la anterior serie. Estas bombas nucleares en miniatura contienen en su interior Energía Ardiente altamente enriquecida que causará una devastación total en un radio masivo, causando la muerte segura de incluso los demonios de mayor rango en los ejércitos del Infierno.

Estas bombas nucleares en miniatura contienen en su interior Energía Ardiente altamente enriquecida que causará una devastación total en un radio masivo, causando la muerte segura de incluso los demonios de mayor rango en los ejércitos del Infierno. Tampoco pueden usarse en ráfaga.
 
 El Hellblazer fue descontinuado tras la destrucción de las oficinas de Imanaki Corp en 2009, pero el **Instituto Tecnológico Tach-Engine** ha conseguido reproducir el arma tras su caída. Sin embargo, los modelos replicados no emplean esta "Energía Ardiente", así que no son tan destructivos como debían ser. En su lugar, usan el altamente volátil **Nokron**, uno de los dos elementos exóticos empleados en el proceso de Microfusión, ya que su potencial para el uso en explosivos es bastante notable.
 
-\cfFuego Primario:\c- Dispara la munición cargada con su propulsión armada y lista.
+A diferencia de su predecesor, el cual se basaba en simple detección de proximidad, este modelo en su lugar puede comunicarse con matrices de objetivos para proveer de una búsqueda selectiva de objetivos de mayor precisión.
 
-\cfFuego Secundario:\c- Lanza la munición cargada sin armar, como una granada.
+\cfFuego Primario:\c- Dispara la munición cargada con su propulsión armada y lista. Pulsa para disparar un misil, mantén para precargar 2 misiles adicionales (el fuego secundario cancela este proceso). Mientras se mantenga, el arma podrá marcar un objetivo por cada misil cargado con cada pulsación de fuego terciario. Pulsar recarga borra todos los objetivos marcados.
