Hey! This perk is pretty unfinished! If you have any ideas or suggestions at all to add to, change, or build upon of the ideas above - please write em up!
I had a lot of fun designing this kit, particularly the perks, but if you couldn’t tell, some of the weapons are a little... lacking in creativity. They’re fine, I came up with them just to have a placeholder weapon that synergizes with the rest of the Perk, but I think we could do better.
Above all, thanks for reading ‘n have a good one
