Gameplay

Changes from the Type-33 Fuel Rod Gun

• Magazine now moved to the back.
• Is now fed from a revolver cylinder-esque device instead of five-round chargers.
• More streamlined in shape.
• Loses the IR screen on the left side of the weapon.
• Slower reload.
• Slower rate of fire.
• The correct number of fuel rods is seen when the weapon is being reloaded; if there are four shots remaining, there are four on the fuel rod "cylinder."
• Fuel rods can no longer ricochet off of hard surfaces, and will always explode on impact.
• Fuel rods no longer arc.
