Description

Performance
The player throws this weapon to deal damage to the player. When used, this weapon rotates through the air until it hits an object. This shows that it has a medium bullet travel time. Moreover, this weapon has a bleeding effect, making an opponent hit by this weapon lose extra health for a few seconds. It can also pierce through players. It has a ricochet attribute, so that means that this weapon can bounce through walls.
This weapon has a single-shot system so it has no reload animation. However, it has a fixed delay input. This means that once the player switches from any weapon to this weapon, the Amazon's Sharp Ring always has a delay lasting around half of a second.
