• The R-36 Eruptor Rifle is a hybrid weapon, a bolt-action rifle with a sniper-like scope on prime. The catch is that as an alternative of capturing huge sniper bullets, it fires exploding shells.
• The CB-9 Exploding Crossbow is precisely what it appears like. It is a crossbow that shoots explosives as an alternative of normal bolts.
• The GP-31 Grenade Pistol is an odd one. It’s formed like a pistol, and it seems like a pistol, however it shoots grenades as an alternative. Whereas this sounds and appears wonderful, there’s a minor catch: you’ll have to reload after every shot.
