Assault Rifle
The Assault Rifle is a weapon with well-rounded stats, as it functions well at any range. It requires the player to keep their crosshair on their opponents to deal its damage. This is the default primary weapon that the player obtains first when joining the game.
Default starter primary, reliable at all ranges.
Gunblade
The Gunblade is a weapon that works as a hybrid, meaning it can switch to both a melee and a firearm upon hitting someone, and is mostly used from mid-range to close-range, depending on what mode it is in.
Standard rarity. Hybrid ranged/melee weapon — also has a melee blade combo (35 dmg, 8 stud reach) and a dash.
