BALROG-IX

BALROG-IX or Balrog-9 is a pair of melee battle gauntlets developed by Aegis Institute as part of the Balrog series.

Overview
Balrog-9 appears as a pair of metallic gauntlets that are used for CQB (Close Quarter Battles) and is equipped with the BALROG Charging System. It inflicts high damage to zombies and an even more higher damage when using its secondary attack. Equipped with the BALROG Charging System, the targeted enemy will be knocked by an intense explosion caused by this weapon's secondary attack. Since the attack range of the Balrog-9 is lower than its predecessor, the Skull-9, Balrog-9 is supported with a more faster attack rate.
