      • One Punch: 30,000 to 20,000 points
      • Explanation on these changes:
        • The RPG and frag grenade are extremely powerful, but were very cheap for their price.
        • Creeper is devastating at close range, but beyond that it becomes useless. It's a major contrast to the RPG, but was significantly more expensive, so its price has been slightly lowered.
        • Despite its unique one-shot attack, One Punch was still ridiculously expensive for its price.

    • Works very similar to /randomvideo, but instead of random videos, it's random songs
