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.
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.
