Early Stink Bombs#
from 3.5 it sports an early mesh and icon but seeing how the icon and model are fully unique instead of being placeholder assets or reused assets this was likely the early design of the stink bomb it was most likely scrapped due to not fitting the artstyle of chapter 1 3.0 uses a proto mesh and icon. This item also deals 15 damage in 3.0 instead of the usual 5 damage to players. Watch on YouTubeWatch on YouTube
