Depth: Meltdown

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1222003859
Viktor is leading the crew on a mission to Siberia! First heading to the Siberian Arms Factory in Tomsk, the team will be picking up some newly developed UPR-17 gyro rifles. Once armed to the teeth, they'll head out to the East Siberian Sea for Operation Meltdown! A mighty Great White known as Icemaw is causing trouble across the region. The UPR-17's hot burning Microjets should make a big impact in the success of the mission! So dive in with the team to assist in the fight against Icemaw!

Introducing the UPR-17 Gyro Rifle!

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1222003455
This Russian-developed semi-automatic rifle fires gyroscopically stabilized Microjets which accelerate and increase in stopping power the further they go.

Weapon War Contestants

• QBS-06 Rifle - This Chinese assault rifle is based on the Russian APS rifle, however it features several modifications and fires slightly larger darts.
  
• ASM-DT Rifle - This Russian assault rifle was developed in the 90s and features a hybrid design allowing it to fire accurately both above and below the water.
  
• Pepperbox Pistol - The Pepperbox is a multi-barrel pistol which can be modified to fire a ring of spears like a mini Volleyjet.
  
• AAP-8 Pistol - The AAP-8 is a rather unique full-auto pistol which operates underwater. It makes up for its weaker stopping power with a high rate of fire.
  
• LJ-16 Boxcutter - Featuring a 4x4 grid of barrels, this volley gun earned its name for being able to simultaneously shoot a square of sixteen spears.
  
• Spear Sling - Although it is primitive, this rubber sling is still great for fending off sharks on a budget.
  
• Torpedo Launcher - Developed by Aquatekk Industries, this portable Torpedo Launcher was designed for frogmen to attack submarines and small ships.
  
• Flame Launcher - Designed at Impact Labs, the Flame Launcher lobs a specially designed projectile loaded with potassium allowing it to burst into flames underwater.

Flares actually work
A full scale underwater flame thrower that could actually kill something is pure fiction.

Please clarify something for me. Will the individual skins found within the treasures be tradeable and/or marketable?
