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.
Crossbow
The Crossbow is a primary weapon that is frequently used as an alternative to the Sniper. It has perfect accuracy while hip-firing, faster movement speed, and the ability to bypass Katana. The Crossbow has one ammo in the magazine, but since the reload speed is so fast, this is not a detriment to the player.
Standard rarity.
