In this case, the Bouncer, a weapon that launches a grenade-style bomb that separates into several smaller ones that bounce until they explode. And if it sounds familiar, it&#8217;s because it&#8217;s a classic item in the saga that debuted on <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/playstation-2-has-sold-5-million-units-more-than-we-thought-according-to-jim-ryan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">PS2<\/a>.
