The USP45 is a standard issue weapon of the Secret Service division that Michael Ford belongs to. It appears to be a semi-automatic pistol based on the real world Heckler & Koch USP45 ("universal self-loading pistol"). However, the USP45 in The Conduit has a chrome finish in contrast to the matte black of a real USP45. In Conduit 2, it has an iron sight and different crosshair. It is also less powerful.  In The Conduit the rate of fire of the USP45 depended on how fast you could push the firing button on your Wiimote; however in Conduit 2 there is a limit to how fast it can be fired.

Appearance

The USP45 is a handgun with what appears to be a black polymer frame and a chrome-plated slide. The ejection port is black. The iron sights along the top of the slide are black too. And has a small white dot in the middle.

Reloading

There are two styles that the player reloads the gun:

1. The player twists the gun to the left and shakes the magazine out. He then slips in another magazine and cocks the gun.

2. The player flicks the gun downwards to let the magazine out. He then slips in another magazine in and cocks the gun.

Melee

When using a USP45 melee attack, the character hits the foe with the pistol butt, before spinning it in his hand and returning it to it's normal position.

Strategy

• The USP45 is powerful at close range. Aim for the head when shooting foes.
• The gun is quick to reload, and so is very useful in heated firefights.
• The USP45 is actually quite useful at long range. With accurate aiming, you can still hit distant foes and kill them if you aim for the head.
• The player can fire extremely fast if they change their Wii Remote so that the A button fires the gun instead of the B button. This increase of speed can be very helpful in battles, however, if the player has low accuracy with this gun, it can be a curse as the player may find themselves frequently reloading

Trivia

• Chronologically, this is the first weapon Michael Ford uses in both Conduit games.
• None of the enemies in The Conduit's campaign mode carry this weapon.
• The USP45 in The Conduit is actually a USP45 Tactical (The full name is printed on the slide). The Tacticals are the only USPs with adjustable sights.
• In The Conduit, the USP45 has a rate of fire based on how fast the user can fire each bullet; however in Conduit 2 there is a limit to how fast it can be fired.  The same is true for all semi-auto weapons.
