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).
Paintball Gun
The Paintball Gun is a weapon that features a slightly slow fire rate but excels in sustained high damage output, making each shot impactful. Hitting shots can disorient the enemy as each shot splatters paint around the enemy's screen.
Prime rarity. Full stat sheet not yet confirmed from an official source — flagged for follow-up.
