Gunblade
The Gunblade is a weapon that works as a hybrid, meaning it can switch to both a melee and a firearm upon hitting someone, and is mostly used from mid-range to close-range, depending on what mode it is in.
Standard rarity. Hybrid ranged/melee weapon — also has a melee blade combo (35 dmg, 8 stud reach) and a dash.
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.
