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.
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.
