Handgun
The Handgun is a weapon with well-rounded stats, and compared to the Assault Rifle, it has decent DPS. However, it is Semi-Automatic, meaning that for rapid fire you must pull the trigger multiple times. The Handgun is the initial side-arm for players, being part of the first loadout a player uses (which is frequently referred to as the "default loadout").
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.
