Some featured include the JAK Harbinger Kit M4 assault rifle, which is described as a quick-kill weapon with a slow-fire rate, the JAK Gunslinger Basilisk handgun, a revolver that holds eight rounds of .357 ammunition with an increase in rate of fire, and the JAK Thumper-656 RGL-80 launcher, which features improved range and recoil but also unlocks the use of a high-capacity drum mag for the FJX Horus.
