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.
Permafrost
The Permafrost is a submachine gun that fires in a 2-round burst. Its bullets slow down enemies, making it very useful for closing distances.
Contraband rarity. On-hit slow (up to -50% move speed) and a freeze ability. Full stat sheet (reload, magazine, range) not yet confirmed from an official source — flagged for follow-up.
