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.
Gunblade
The Gunblade is a weapon that works as a hybrid, meaning it can switch to both a melee and a firearm upon hitting someone, and is mostly used from mid-range to close-range, depending on what mode it is in.
Standard rarity. Hybrid ranged/melee weapon — also has a melee blade combo (35 dmg, 8 stud reach) and a dash.
