Cold Snap

The Enforcer is a shotgun that will pack quite the punch in intimate situations, as you would expect. Partly pressing the trigger will fire out of one barrel at a time, which will reduce the time between shots. Fully press to fire both barrels at once and blow enemies away.

The Lightning Rod shoots out pellets that have a chance to stun an enemy. The electricity from that burst will transfer from one enemy to another that is a short distance away if the first enemy dies. While they are being zapped, the enemies are momentarily immobile, leaving you a wide window for a follow-up attack.

Mr. Fungi

The Negatron Collider shoots out a large beam of energy that can channel through enemies to hit anyone behind them. It takes a little bit of a charge, which can be prepared beforehand by slightly pressing the trigger.

The Ricochet fires out bullets that, instead of bouncing off walls, will hit the enemy and continuously fly back and smack them. Keep pressing the fire button to continue it bouncing back at enemies.
