Two Handed Weapons! The DDMK18


Excited to announce the beginning of two-handed weapon support in Crunch Element! We are kicking this system off by introducing a new weapon, the DDMK18, a heavyweight rifle excelling in damage and accuracy which makes up for its so-so rate of fire and ammo capacity. It is currently available for testers, who should experiment with the two-handed functionality and attempt to find any bugs with it. For the time being it also features a functional red dot sight! Enjoy!

Check out this sweet video of it in action!

  • Uses energy which recharges over time rather than a magazine with bullets
