The new crossbow has explosive bolts similar to Chewbacca's Bowcaster from last season. It has a relatively high fire rate and deals significant damage to vehicles. Apparently, it also supports weapon modifications!

Nitro Fists

The new Nitro Fists pack a punch! You can choose between three different attacks:

  • Triple Punch Combo
  • Uppercut
  • Aerial Strike

The gloves have 4 charges that recharge individually every 8 seconds. Only the Aerial Strike and Uppercut consume charges.

You can also perform the Aerial Strike on the ground, supposedly causing "comet-like damage".

Tri-Beam Laser Rifle

The laser weapon from Fallout has infinite ammo and deals significant damage! With three headshots, you can deal up to 174 damage in just one second!

That's all for now. It's time to loot to your heart's content. We hope you enjoy the new season!
