Distortion
The Distortion is a contraband weapon that is somewhat similar to the Shotgun. It shoots 5 bullets at once, which deals splash damage. Each individual bullet deals 7 damage, and there is no damage dropoff. There is a decent amount of spread, so hitting shots from further away is more difficult.
Contraband rarity. Fires a 5-pellet spread (7 dmg each). Right-click creates a pulling vortex (12 stud radius, 30s cooldown).
Flamethrower
The Flamethrower deals fire damage in a short cone in front of itself, while also applying burning damage after the player is done torching the enemy. It regenerates fuel while not firing, including when it is unequipped.
Prime rarity.
