M30 Grenade
Launches a Grenade at long range from beneath the barrel of your Assault Rifle. This explosion affects all within the blast radius, and can knock them back.

Fires a single Slug at a targeted foe. Firing a single Slug is slower than firing a Burst, but it deals more damage, has longer range, and can knock down foes.
Sniper Rifle
The Sniper Rifle is a powerful piece of hardware. It is very accurate and has a very long range. The impressive round can knock down its target. Like most sniper attacks, you must take your time to aim, as this attack can be interrupted.
