Little is known about the alien armory, but some weapons have been revealed:
- The Molecular Accelerator freezes the humidity in the air and fires deadly nails of ice at a rapid rate. A result of the nature of its architecture is that it has infinite ammo. - The Molecular Arrestor is one of the most anticipated weapons in Crysis, as it can fire a beam that freezes almost any object, which can then be shattered. - The Singularity Cannon creates a miniature black hole which can suck anything of reasonable size into the abyss.
