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.
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.
