Unlike his grandfather, Darius is a mercenary and he runs a small business, in Bastion, one of the underground cities established by colonists after the Terraformer was destroyed.
During one of his missions, Darius is tricked by Hale and he opens an ancient shaft, releasing a new race of aliens which destroys his home city.
Using a wide range of weapons Darius starts a personal war against these underground enemies, being helped by the Red Faction.
There are various weapons available in Red Faction: Armageddon and each of them, has different stats and attributes.
In the Campaign Mode, players will find these weapons, lying on the ground, and after a weapon is unlocked, it is automatically added to the Weapon Locker.
