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).
RPG
The RPG is a weapon that launches a blasting rocket. The rocket deals splash damage with no damage drop-off and applies critical damage on direct hits. The rocket knocks back the user, teammates, and enemies if they are in its radius, allowing for increased mobility despite the low movement speed of the weapon.
Explosive splash, applies a movement speed slow on hit.
