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.
Energy Rifle
The Energy Rifle is a slightly slow automatic weapon that fires energy beams that bounce off walls. It serves as a somewhat oppressive weapon with its relatively short cooldown and infinite ammo.
Prime rarity.
