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.
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.
