New weapons, bug fixes and improved gameplay features! Couldn't ask for anything more! The Team has been slowely working away at new and returning content to Ballistic Weapons! Onto the News!
The past month has had a lot of interesting content coming your way, everything from new weapons, to returning weapons and a return of the Ballistic Weapons Single Player Ladder! In this article, we shall be concentrating on the Single Player ladder and Returning weapons are part of the Archive Pack. Lets get started.
The Single Player Ladder Replacement allows you to play the Single Player Ladder Campaign with either Ballistic Weapons Conflict Loadout Or Ballistic Weapons Pickups. Which both stories are supported by a number of other mutators, such as Killstreaks, Starting Health, Sprint, Bloody Hell and the HUDFix mutator. Both Swaps and Loadout Ladders are dependant on the sandbox settings, so you may change the setting through the instant action mutator configuration at your own risk. Under Is a video showing off a few of the returning weapons alongside the Single Player Ladder. Happy Fragging!

Descriptions
X5W Black Ops Blade
Manufacturer: Enravion Combat Solutions
Primary: Slash
Secondary: Prepared Slash
Special: Block
A rare variant of the X5 short combat sword, the X5W is a special edition wrist blade developed for the UTC Black Ops paramilitary forces. Given to the elite assassination squads during the Skrith wars, this blade proved itself many times in close quarters combat. It is constructed using modern forging techniques and the highest quality materials, is built to last and is one of the only blades capable of standing its own against a charging Skrith warrior. Don't leave home without one.
FMP-2012 Machine Pistol
Manufacturer: Black & Wood
Primary: Accurate Rifle Fire
Secondary: Wild Explosive Rounds
MARS-4 'Dust Storm' XCIII
Manufacturer: NDTR Industries
Primary: Rapid Rifle Fire
Secondary: 40mm Pulse Mine
The 4 variant of the Modular Assault Rifle System is one of many rifles built under NDTR Industries' MARS project. The project, which was aimed to produce a successor to the army's current M50 and M30 rifles, has produced a number of functional prototypes. The 4 variant is a short barreled model designed for CQC use with non-standard ammunition. Field tests have shown excellent results when loaded with Snowstorm or Firestorm rounds, and above-average performance with Zero-G, toxic and electro rounds. This specific MARS-4 is loaded with 5.45mm suppressor-ready low velocity rounds and is set to fire at a blistering 850 RPM. Unlike the sharpshooter MARS-2 variant, the MARS-4 also comes with an advanced grenade launcher that can chamber 40mm JRGM Fission shockwave grenades. These grenades were developed during the first Skrith war and were invaluable for disrupting Skrith ambushes.
PUMA-77 Repeater
Manufacturer: Majestic Firearms 12
Primary: Programmable Smart Round
Secondary: Shield Projector
The Type-77 RPR, a well known pulse weapon used during the Skrith wars, is one of the more recognizable light grenade launchers on the market. It was used extensively by the UTC as the PUMA-77 before their widespread adoption of the SRAC-21/G as the automatic grenade launcher of choice. This powerful weapon differs from other conventional grenade launchers in that it utilizes specialized fission batteries as ammunition, which both power and act as the carrier of the projectile. The projectiles themselves can be programmed by the side-mounted rangefinding module and allow soldiers to selectively airburst the rounds to hit targets behind cover. The PUMA-77s seen here are equipped with Frontier Tech's lightweight X57 shield projector, which is a scaled down version of the heavy portable shields used during the first Skrith war.
FP9A5-L Classic Laser Mine
NDTR's versatile FP9 is a favourite UTC weapon of high quality and extensive use. The FP9A5 greatly enhances the standard explosive by incorporating many tactical features to make it an incredibly versatile bomb. The soldier can deploy or toss the device, and wait to manually detonate it by means of a radio frequency controller, or activate the laser feature, and wait for an unsuspecting foe to walk into the beam. As well as this, the latest model now has the ability to activate the laser mode when the bomb is already deployed, making it even more effective. This allows the user to deactivate the beam, pick it up, and place it elsewhere, or merely to allow oneself to walk past the device without incident.
