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").
Warper
The Warper is a slightly slow automatic secondary weapon that fires portals. Each shot does not deal any damage. Press M1 to fire a portal, and M2 to fire the other. The portals will take more time to be created the farther the portals are from each other. When coming out from a portal, you get some slight momentum.
Contraband rarity. Teleport/mobility secondary — no direct damage. Cooldown 0.25s per use.
