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.
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.
