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.
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.
