It's a teleport grab. If you're close enough to someone, it will charge ahead and basically like devastate them with the chainsaw arm. And then there's the bolt gun itself, which is I've never seen a single gun come so dangerously close to breaking its own game as the bolt gun. This gun in a video game rules like instant nominee for best video game gun of all time. Sure. But effectively it has all of the components of every other weapon and you enjoy it. It affects I don't think it has any drop and it can shoot as a lot far as you want it to. So it's actually like a sniper rifle that fires like a normal weapon.
