Rust Monster

Hey gang,

 The rust monster crew has been a bit busy with RL lately, so the updates have been coming rather slowly. In an effort to turn things around I’m goign to let you all delve into a bit of what I’ve been doing as of late.

Continuing the 5 part series Damionte presents THE SNIPER !!

Sniper:

The sniper is the ranged assassin. Their focus is putting as much power behind a single shot as possible.
