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.
Slingshot
The Slingshot is a rapid-firing weapon that shoots out bouncy balls. The balls can bounce from a surface and hit an opponent, dealing low damage with a high and spammy fire rate. Because of its bouncy tech, it excels in close-quarters combat and bypasses the Katana.
Prime rarity.
