Grenade Launcher
The Grenade Launcher is a weapon that rapidly shoots explosive arching projectiles. It can be used as a movement tool, launching the player forward if they hit a wall at the right angle.
Prime rarity.
Sniper
The Sniper is a weapon which requires good aim. The scope will always have the same magnification effect (depending on the ADS), its scope functioning similarly to an ACOG sight combined with a traditional sniper scope. When used properly, this weapon can be extremely powerful in both long-range and close-range situations, allowing for the usage of versatile tactical options in various combat scenarios.
Movement speed penalty while equipped.
