Flak

The Flak is a primary weapon that uses ammo instead of energy. Flak is a rapid fire short ranged area of effect weapon. Flak dishes out good damage while also disorienting enemy auto-ops. Upgraded versions increase rate of fire as well as damage and range depending on which version player selects.

Plus (+): Higher rate of fire (~20%)

Extra Damage (DX): Higher damage and impact force (~20% each)

Vulkan (VK): Ramped rate of fire (~10%), and shots fly farther (~50%)
