Powerful new weapons and armor
One of the highlights of the new war bond is the large-caliber AR-61-Tenderizer assault rifle. Although this only has a manageable magazine size, it more than makes up for this shortcoming with its firepower.
Other new firearms include the SMG-72 Pummeler. Regarding the Pummeler, the developers say: “It has a slower rate of fire than other MPs. But these explosive rounds will leave your opponents dazed, confused and still ugly.”
