3. Weapons

3.1 Secondary Weapon

The Ophelian Liberation Alpha version of the Heavy Bolt Pistol is a good choice for its high magazine capacity and great firepower. It can be great for dishing out melee and sometimes long-ranged damage. 

When combined with perks such as Great Might, Death Strike, Close Combat, Perpetual Precision, and Perpetual Penetration, this secondary weapon has the potential to inflict significant damage while simultaneously increasing damage output and enemy penetration.

3.2 Melee Weapon

The Ophelian Liberation Beta version of the Thunder Hammer with the Fencing defense is a comfortable pick for giving the class strong parry defense in cases where a dodge will not save you. 

Use perks like Fast Preparation, Perpetual Strength, Shattering Impact, and Seismic Chain to take down multiple enemies together. These perks also enable players to enhance the overall impact of each strike, particularly when utilizing dash and ground bashes with the Jump Pack.
