Suspicious

Wyatt led a group forward, stalking through the rain with crouched positions and lowered backs. Many of them held assault rifles, their bodies strapped down with extended magazines.

If one looked closely, their fingers were already twitching over their triggers. The misfiring of their guns would be amped up a great deal in this situation, so they were already prepared to have quick and happy triggers.

Godsfall messed with the chemistry of their guns, and they had already seen this in action. But without Godsfall Steel to rely on like Zarek and Priya, their only solution was to bring more ammo than they needed—even if it meant weighing themselves down.

In this case, though, the added padding probably helped to protect their lives, restricting the flow of the rain from touching them too easily.

Wyatt held up a hand, stopping at the edge of a corner. He was the only one not carrying an excess of guns, his now-gloved hand already on the hilt of his sword.
