Finishing up our trinity of new weapon videos, we have a very unique addition to the set! Through a clever use of magnifying glasses and lenses, this next weapon can accurately burst balloons from across the map! Unfortunately, having a steady stream of concentrated sunlight shooting from the tip of your weapon has the undesirable side effect of drawing everyone's eyes to you. So be warned, onl…

Like the Pistol's far more energetic older brother, the Nail Gun has the unique ability to shoot through mult…

Some focused on promoting the game to get more players in, others are more development focused like basic bots.
