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.
RPG
The RPG is a weapon that launches a blasting rocket. The rocket deals splash damage with no damage drop-off and applies critical damage on direct hits. The rocket knocks back the user, teammates, and enemies if they are in its radius, allowing for increased mobility despite the low movement speed of the weapon.
Explosive splash, applies a movement speed slow on hit.
