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.
Shorty
The Shorty is a weapon that is a lightweight version of the Shotgun. It fires 10 pellets per shot. It is extremely powerful when used at close range, but extremely bad when used at long range.
