ISLAND ARSENAL
The Ballistic Shield is just one of the new weapons in Chapter 5. Want your new suite of SMGs, ARs, and more? Chapter 5 introduces the Hammer Pump Shotgun, Frenzy Auto Shotgun, Nemesis AR, Striker AR, Thunder Burst SMG, Hyper SMG, Reaper Sniper Rifle, and Ranger Pistol:
GRAPPLE BLADE
While others party at Ritzy Riviera, study the blade. Fortunately, the Grapple Blade is pretty simple. Aim at a hard surface or another player, then grapple to your target! If you grapple to a player, attack with the blade to deal melee damage. Get enough practice with the Grapple Blade to pull off masterful maneuvers!
Also a great mobility item, use a Grapple Blade if there’s no car around.
CLUSTER CLINGER
This explosive explodes explosives. Throw a sticky Cluster Clinger on a surface or player, then after a short delay, watch it pop out smaller explosives. Cut and run when someone throws a Cluster.
