Katana
The Katana is a well balanced melee used by players of all skill levels, it has a solid M1 damage[citation needed, who said that?] and has a unique ability to deflect bullets back at opponents, making it a common choice for countering high-DPS weapons.
Riot Shield
The Riot Shield is a weapon that is a good choice for counter strategies, as it can block projectiles and damage from most weapons. Hitting an enemy with it will knock them back. The following weapons are not affected by Riot Shield: * Weapons with fire: Flamethrower, Flare Gun, Molotov * Weapons with explosions (AOE): Grenade Launcher, RPG, Exogun, Subspace Tripmine, Grenade, Satchel, and Distortion * The Spray
Standard rarity.
