Three new weapons have been added to Peppergrinder over the past few days.
The plasma pistol offers the versatility of Thunderbuster spray in a safer, smaller package, with charged shots that can crack a Hell Knight shield or reliably drop any humanoid. Overheating is a concern, but you can carry two and alternate between them to alleviate it.
The mauler, based on its namesake from Strife, provides incredible burst damage in close quarters with a wide plasma shotgun blast, and also has a mini-BFG secondary mode that lacks most of the power of the real thing, but can still wipe out dense groups and be flung into places that are too awkward to shoot directly. It's grossly inefficient and awkward to use even at medium range, but you'll be damn glad to have it the next time you're face to face with a Baron.
Lastly, the Yuyuze pump action grenade launcher offers 3+1 40mm explosions at a much more accessible weight than the full-size rocket launcher. No HEATs, no rocket mode, and a longer stroke than the Hunter, but it only weighs slightly more than the single-shot rocket launcher by itself.
There's still more to come, but this was a bit of a milestone for us finally resuming full development, so I thought I'd make a proper announcement out of it.
