You can shoot an enemy down and pick up a generic pistol or machine gun if you need a high-ammo gun.

But the good thing is that it almost always pays to take the rare weapon with you.

The Tau is a great prize to hang onto, but what if you also have an eight-shot grenade launcher as your big weapon? If the next scene has a host of enemies, you’re up the creek. A Tau sniper pistol can penetrate the armor of any of the bosses, but it only has six shots. The problem of having only two guns is that you don’t know which type of enemy you will face next. It should be the easiest thing in the world to shoot someone coming at you from the side, but it is the hardest. It’s really annoying when that enemy is running right to your side to take a close-and-personal shot at you. You also can’t aim and turn fast enough to shoot an enemy who is running across your view. Eleven seconds! That means you can’t turn fast enough to shoot enemies who are coming at you from the side. When you have your gun drawn, it takes a full 11 seconds to spin around in a 360-degree circle. 1 trade-off of all of the graphical beauty is speed and freedom of movement.
