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.
Shotgun
The Shotgun is a weapon that excels in close-range combat. Its damage is distance-dependent, meaning the closer you are to your opponent, the more damage you inflict. Each shot fires 10 pellets. Its power shines in tight spaces, allowing you to maximize damage output by getting up close to your targets. Mastering timing and positioning will enable you to unleash devastating attacks and dominate in close-quarters encounters.
