Bow
The Bow is a projectile weapon that mainly provides movement through its double jump passive and short cooldown. It also allows for quick shots with a high fire rate.
Burst Rifle
The Burst Rifle is a weapon that excels in giving quick damage in 3 short bursts. It is a strong side-grade to the Assault Rifle for those who prefer hitting and running rather than shooting upfront.
Body damage was reported nerfed 20→18 in the March 2026 "Lucky Update" — pending confirmation against current patch notes.
