Conventional Weapons serve as the default weapons for XCOM soldiers in XCOM 2.
As XCOM was defeated in the initial invasion, their Resistance movement has had to resort to salvaging and improvising any weapons they could find over the years.
Being leftover weapons from the original war they are inferior to the Magnetic Weapons employed by the ADVENT Administration and the Plasma weapons employed by their Alien allies. Despite this, they are more than capable of dealing with the basic ADVENT and Aliens forces XCOM faces. Early on in the game Modular Weapons can be researched, which allows salvaged weapon upgrades to be attached, increasing their effectiveness.
Most Conventional Weapons have Projectile_Conventional Damage Type.
