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.
Grenade Launcher
The Grenade Launcher is a weapon that rapidly shoots explosive arching projectiles. It can be used as a movement tool, launching the player forward if they hit a wall at the right angle.
Prime rarity.
