Item
From AssaultCube
item is the command used in your autoexec.cfg to specify which primary weapon the game should start up with. You can use it in-game, but it's more convenient to push B for the weapon menu, unless you've memorized what weapon each number corresponds with. By default, you start with the assault rifle.
Here is a list of usable values and the weapons they represent:
- 2 = V-19 Combat Shotgun
- 3 = A-ARD/10 Submachine Gun
- 4 = Precision Tech AD-81 Sniper Rifle
- 5 = Mtp 57 Assault Rifle (default)
When you change your weapon in-game, you will not be able to use it until your next respawn. You can use the suicide command if you want to start using it right away, but this will take away a point from your frag (kill) count if on deathmatch, or add a point to your death count if on a team-based mode such as CTF.
