    Some neat stuff I’d like to play with, but nothing I feel like I’m missing, I’ll pick it up with super credits once I get to 1k again

        the grenade pistol would make most blitz really efficient though, probably most easy to get the “Hold my primary” achievement by getting that and join a blitz group trying to unlock that. )
