RPG
The RPG is a weapon that launches a blasting rocket. The rocket deals splash damage with no damage drop-off and applies critical damage on direct hits. The rocket knocks back the user, teammates, and enemies if they are in its radius, allowing for increased mobility despite the low movement speed of the weapon.
Explosive splash, applies a movement speed slow on hit.
Shotgun
The Shotgun is a weapon that excels in close-range combat. Its damage is distance-dependent, meaning the closer you are to your opponent, the more damage you inflict. Each shot fires 10 pellets. Its power shines in tight spaces, allowing you to maximize damage output by getting up close to your targets. Mastering timing and positioning will enable you to unleash devastating attacks and dominate in close-quarters encounters.
