Description
They are a Futuristic/Special Forces themed pistols and a reskinned version of the Dual Anger. It is connected to the 4 weapons from the Advanced Arsenal set, although it was never officially implemented with them. It was removed shortly after its release, although the others (Advanced Scout Rifle, Manual Inferno, Harsh Punisher, Offensive Rocket System) stayed in the offers/Craft Section of the Armory. It is the only one of the Advanced Arsenal weapons which cannot be obtained through buying offers at low level, and the only time it was available after its removal was in a limited time van in the 18.0.0 update. The name comes from the Brutal Headhunter Sniper.
