The RENETTI handgun’s excellent burst fire rate and light weight all make for a solid weapon to use, especially for firefights in small areas. This weapon can also basically be remodeled into something close to an SMG via the Conversion Kit (max weapon level) which may suit certain players in the game.

Keep your enemies close with this highly effective, room-clearing weapon with a blazing fire rate.

The WPS STINGER is an easy-to-use fully-automatic pistol for cleaning up enemies at close range. It has enough reliability to be a go-to back-up weapon when paired with longer-range guns like the MCW or LONGBOW. While not yet released, the WPS STINGER’s Akimbo Conversion Kit allows you to dual-wield two of the pistols, giving it even more respectable damage during tight-space encounters.

How to Get the WPS STINGER

The WPS STINGER is unlocked by reaching player level 16.
