Some of the weapons are iterations on previous weapons, with the hunting rifle returning.

One gun that is not in the game though, is the iconic pump shotgun, which has been vaulted heading into Season 3. Few would suggest this will be the last time we see the weapon, but even fewer would have suspected it was going to vaulted. Bye, pump shotgun, until next time.
