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.
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.
