The '''Laser Beam''' is a powerful weapon that fires beams of focused energy. It can kill [[Rock Monster]]s and [[Ice Monster]]s in a single hit. It does almost no damage to [[Lava Monster]]s due to their extreme heat, or [[Slimy Slug]]s because of their thick skin. In the PlayStation game, the Laser Beam is Powerful enough to blast through any drillable walls just as effectively as vehicle-mounted lasers. In this version, only monsters can be killed by a Laser Beam.
 
In the Windows game, the Laser Beam has a [[Glitches#Infinite Laser Drain Glitch|bug]] that causes the entire Energy Crystal store to be drained while firing on some newer computers.

The '''Pusher Beam'''
The '''Pusher Beam''' is a weapon that fires rays that knock creatures back. In the Windows game, it does only a small amount of damage to all creatures, mostly just being useful for pushing them away from Rock Raider HQ. In the PlayStation game, the Pusher Beam can kill [[Scorpion]]s in three shots, but [[Spider]]s and Slimy Slugs are only stunned, and monsters are just knocked back slightly. [[Rock Whale]]s are too large to be pushed, instead seeming to be irritated by it and walking in whatever direction they're facing.

The '''Freezer Beam'''
The '''Freezer Beam''' is a weapon that temporarily freezes creatures in a block of ice. In the Windows game, it freezes Rock Monsters with minimal damage, but does heavy damage to Lava Monsters. Ice Monsters are immune due to being made of ice, and Slimy Slugs are unaffected as well for some reason. In the PlayStation game, the Freezer Beam can't actually kill any creatures, only freezing them for a while to give the player time to get away.

==Sonic Blaster==
The '''Sonic Blaster''' is a small machine that can be activated and dropped to scare off nearby creatures. It does not require Action Stations to be activated, and Rock Raiders need to be manually ordered to use it. Following a short countdown after initial deployment, Sonic Blasters start emitting a startling noise and a display of light and smoke. Dropping one near a [[Slimy Slug]] will repel it temporarily. Once enough Sonic Blasters have been used, the Slimy Slug will retreat altogether.{{verify}} This tool is only used in the Windows game.

These are the three major weapons used typically against [[Monsters]].  They usually have little to no effect on [[Slimy Slugs]].  Unlike other [[Mining Tools|Tools]] and Weapons, these cannot be used manually.  Rock Raiders will only use these weapons automatically when the [[Action Stations]] have been activated.

==The Laser Beam==
The '''Laser Beam''' is probably the most conventional weapon in the game.  It can be used it can be used to fend off and kill Monsters.  It is most effective with [[Rock Monsters]] and [[Ice Monsters]] is typically a one hit kill.  It is least effective against [[Lava Monsters]] but does knock them off their feet. The Laser Beam can [[Glitches#Infinite Laser Drain Glitch|glitch]] and drain one's Crystal supply on some missions while firing.

==The Freezer Beam==
The '''Freezer Beam''' is a fairly useful weapon in the game.  Like the Laser Beam, it can be used while Monsters are attacking to hold them off temporarily, and even kill them.  The Freezer Beam is most effective against Lava Monsters, and moderately effective against Rock Monsters, freezing them in a cube of ice.  They have no effect on Ice Monsters.

The '''Pusher Beam''' is another fairly useful weapon.  It has about an equal effect on all Monsters.  Although it does not do much damage to Enemies, it knocks them back a fair distance.  It is especially useful for pushing Slimy Slugs off of buildings or holding off monsters until reinforcement come.

The '''Sonic Blaster''' is the main form of defense against Slimy Slugs, and it can be used against other Enemies as well.  Unlike the beam guns, it is used manually and does not require Action Stations to be activated.  Following a short countdown after initial deployment, they emit a startling noise and a display of light and smoke.  Dropping them near a [[Slimy Slugs|Slimy Slug]] will repel it temporarily.  Once enough Sonic Blasters have been used, the Slimy Slug will retreat altogether.  Sonic Blasters have on occasion been known to crash the game.

Handheld tools

Drill

Get Drill icon

The drill is a jackhammer designed for drilling various weaker rock types. It is the most basic mining tool, as all Rock Raiders teleport down with one. In the Windows version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the drill takes four seconds to drill Dirt, eight seconds to drill Loose Rock, and forty seconds to drill Seams. In the PlayStation version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the drill take approximately two and a half seconds to drill Dirt, and seven seconds to drill Loose Rock. Handheld drills cannot drill through Hard Rock.

Shovel

Get Shovel icon

The shovel or spade is a tool used for clearing up rubble, either to make it easier for Rock Raiders to walk across, or to dig up useful Ore that may be burred underneath it. It takes approximately ten seconds[verify] for a Rock Raider to shovel rubble. Rock Raiders are also depicted using shovels to build Power Paths and patch together lava-eroded terrain, despite being unnecessary for them to actually be carrying one for either task. This tool is only used in the Windows game.

Hammer

Get Hammer icon

The hammer is a tool used for reinforcing walls to prevent them from causing landslides and cave-ins, and to stop monsters from emerging. This tool is only used in the Windows game.

Spanner

Get Spanner icon

The spanner is a wrench used for repairing damaged buildings. Though Rock Raiders can carry spanners at any time, they must be trained as a engineers to repair buildings with them. This tool is only used in the Windows game.

Weapons

Laser Beam

Get Laser Beam icon

The Laser Beam is a powerful weapon that fires beams of focused energy. It can kill Rock Monsters and Ice Monsters in a single hit. It does almost no damage to Lava Monsters due to their extreme heat, or Slimy Slugs because of their thick skin. In the PlayStation game, the Laser Beam is Powerful enough to blast through any drillable walls just as effectively as vehicle-mounted lasers. In this version, only monsters can be killed by a Laser Beam.

In the Windows game, the Laser Beam has a bug that causes the entire Energy Crystal store to be drained while firing on some newer computers.

Pusher Beam

Get Pusher Beam icon

The Pusher Beam is a weapon that fires rays that knock creatures back. In the Windows game, it does only a small amount of damage to all creatures, mostly just being useful for pushing them away from Rock Raider HQ. In the PlayStation game, the Pusher Beam can kill Scorpions in three shots, but Spiders and Slimy Slugs are only stunned, and monsters are just knocked back slightly. Rock Whales are too large to be pushed, instead seeming to be irritated by it and walking in whatever direction they're facing.

Freezer Beam

Get Freezer Beam icon

The Freezer Beam is a weapon that temporarily freezes creatures in a block of ice. In the Windows game, it freezes Rock Monsters with minimal damage, but does heavy damage to Lava Monsters. Ice Monsters are immune due to being made of ice, and Slimy Slugs are unaffected as well for some reason. In the PlayStation game, the Freezer Beam can't actually kill any creatures, only freezing them for a while to give the player time to get away.

Sonic Blaster

The Sonic Blaster is a small machine that can be activated and dropped to scare off nearby creatures. It does not require Action Stations to be activated, and Rock Raiders need to be manually ordered to use it. Following a short countdown after initial deployment, Sonic Blasters start emitting a startling noise and a display of light and smoke. Dropping one near a Slimy Slug will repel it temporarily. Once enough Sonic Blasters have been used, the Slimy Slug will retreat altogether.[verify] This tool is only used in the Windows game.

Sonic Blasters have on occasion been known to cause game crashes, due to some part of the animation file not working with some newer computers.[verify]
