    Since the Plasma Cutter is more than enough to get through the game, you really don't need to worry about buying a bunch of the weapons on the first play through. As long as you look through every room you come across in the game, you should easily find the schematics for all the weapons.

    You'll have access to a store right before the final boss of the game, so you can spend the rest of your credits/sell unused items to pick up the remaining weapons if you wish.

    After you complete the game, you'll be given the chance to save a Completed Game file. Loading this will start your game over, but you keep all your inventory/credits/suits. As a bonus, you'll also receive 50,000 credits. This bonus is enough to buy up the remainder of the weapons with some to spare. You'll have to move some weapons to your safe as you're doing this because you can't have more than 4 in your inventory at once.

    The first store you'll come across in the new game is at the tram station at the end of Chapter One.

    The weapons are (in no particular order):

    1. Plasma Cutter
    2. Pulse Rifle
    3. Ripper
    4. Force Gun
    5. Contact Beam
    6. Flamethrower
    7. Line Gun

    You must own all weapons simultaneously, meaning they must be in either your inventory or your safe. You can only carry 4 guns at once, so buy 4, move them to your safe and then buy the rest.

    The Plasma Cutter is a free story-related gun, but the rest cost on average 10,000 credits each, and you must aquire the schematics for each gun before you can buy it. You will therefore need just under 60,000 credits to buy the guns. The earliest you can get this achevement is mid-game once you have all the schematics, but they are quite easy to locate with very little effort.

    Note that for the "One Gun" achievement (beat game with only Plasma Cutter), you can buy the guns, but you can't use them. In fact it is better to just save, buy the guns and then reload the save so that you can keep your money. The achievement will pop as soon as you buy the last gun.

    You have to make sure you own every weapon 'at the same time'. Have all the weapons in your inventory or safe at once and the achievement is yours.
