Arms

Arms are weapons that are split into two categories: Devil Arms and Fire Arms. Devil Arms are forged from the souls of demonic enemies, while Fire Arms are regular guns and artillery weapons found scattered throughout the game.

Dante wields the Arms, through which he can purchase new fighting techniques. At first, he can only wield one Devil Arm and one Fire Arm at a time, but as he gains in level, he will be able to switch between up to six Arms simultaneously.

Devil Arms
When certain powerful demons perish, they sometimes choose to give their souls to Dante in the form of weapons for him to utilize. While this may seem noble, it is in itself a selfish act; the demon made into a weapon will live on forever, wreaking violence and death in the hands of a new master. Such weapons also retain the personality of the demon from whence it originated. To Dante's chagrin, most of his weapons are able to speak both to him and to each other, and few are very kind in regards to the one they now serve.

Devil Arms are the primary hand-to-hand weapons Dante wields. They are all short range, and each carries a separate element, slightly increasing the damage they deal against certain enemies without sacrificing utility against others.

Using red orbs, Dante can develop new techniques incorporating the Devil Arms, as well as how they function during Devil Trigger. There are four Devil Arms in the game. They are: Rebellion, Shiva ,Gemini, and Mjolnir.

Fire Arms
Over the course of the game, Dante will find various Fire Arms tucked away in certain areas. An excellent gunslinger, these Fire Arms serve him well in conjunction with his Devil Arms. In his hands, they never require reloading and will never jam or miss.

Fire Arms are used for range attacks. Most pack enough of a punch that they can stun and knock back enemies for a time. Switching back and forth between Devil Arms and Fire Arms, Dante can handily take on whole swarms of enemies.

Using red orbs, Dante can develop new techniques incorporating the Fire Arms.

There are four Fire Arms in the game. They are: Ebony &amp; Ivory, the Boomstick, the Woofers, and Kalina Ann.
