Energy Pistols
The Energy Pistols are two dual-wielded energy pistols. They serve as an oppressive weapon because of the fastest fire rate, infinite ammo, and no reload, which makes the user be able to keep shooting. It is extremely great for rushing players with low health.
Prime rarity.
Flare Gun
The Flare Gun is a weapon that shoots a projectile, deals tick damage to enemies that come into contact with it, and continues to deal damage for a period of time even if the enemy leaves the AoE. It essentially acts as an alternative to the Molotov with a smaller area of effect, but higher damage potential and a longer lifespan.
Standard rarity.
