Flare Gun MK2

The Flare Gun MK2 is a weapon that was introduced on the third trial of the Winter Camp during the Holiday Update 2015. It can be purchased as part of the Night Santa’s Gear, which costs   According to the store description, it takes festive explosions to a "whole new level".

Strategy
This weapon has the exact same attributes as the original Flare Gun but the bullet curves down and the weapon's auto aim only applies at close range. Due to that you have to aim very precisely in order to hit someone, which is even harder if the enemy knows how to strafe. If they begin strafing, try to shoot at the direction where you predict they to go. The gun's large hitbox will then do the other half of the job.

 * Great Range

Disadvantages

 * Auto Aim applies only at close range
 * One bullet

Trivia

 * MK2 means "Mark 2" meaning to say that it is the 2nd version of Flare Gun.
 * The Flare Gun MK2 resembles the Heckler & Koch HK69A1 Grenade Launcher.
 * Many people were disappointed by this weapon since the developers said "It will take festive explosions to a whole new level" but it turned out not to be an explosive weapon
 * In real life, the Flare Gun MK2 would be impractical due to a reason: Flare guns are meant to be shot straight upwards, but since the Flare Gun MK2's flares curve down, the flare would set the user on fire. (Killing him)
 * Its the first two-handed weapon to have four bars of agility in Respawnables, and the SMG Howling, which is released some time after this weapon, being the second two-handed weapon with four bars of agility.
 * It has the exact same stats of the Fire Fist.
 * Interestingly enough, you can complete Missions (List) that require you to use Grenade Launcher.
