When possessing various characters in City Faktur you will find that many carry weaponry.
When you possess someone who is carrying a weapon you then have control of not only the
character but also his knowledge of weapon based combat. If you come under hostile fire, you
can fight back with the character’s weapon by following the next steps:

TARGETING IN WEAPON BASED COMBAT
When you are in combat mode and sweep across the room, your targeting cursor will move
from creature to creature as you move, highlighting each target in succession. When the
targeting cursor is highlighting the desired target, fire away to take the target down. Keep in
mind that weapons all have different ranges so they will do various damage to your target
depending on whether they are nearby or off in the distance. The pumpgun, for example, can
often take a character down in a single shot at close range but is miserable for long range
combat.
