Since there are so many weapons to choose from, players might get confused about what weapon is the best in the current meta. Although some of the weapons are better than others, any mediocre weapon can be helpful in certain situations with the correct build.
10. Extraordinary Rendition
Extraordinary Rendition is a kinetic-based Submachine Gun that deals in kinetic damage. It first made its debut back in season 13.
