Potato Beetle Buggy

This new Beetle Potato buggy has some punch in store! With its shotgun-like turret, remove any foes that dare to come too close to you. In case you face a horde of insects, simply use its charge projectile to hit them all in a single shot. If you even run out of ammo, don't be shy to pulverize your enemies' corpses to fill up. They are already dead; they cannot object to it anyway.
