These are an excellent gun that shouldn't be limited to prize boxes only.
Perhaps a cold or poison variant for the Hall of Heroes/Cradle Depths would fit the bill.

Mixmaster was a thing that happened.
Right now it's insanely good for the wrong reasons- it has big clumsy shots that rarely miss and it never triggers shields.
If mixmaster was a free weapon, it would be meta. Everyone would use one, almost all the time. It's "too good".
To fix this, we would need to make it shoot bullets, which would destroy the cool boomerang mechanic.
Destroying this would in turn, make for a LOT of salty players that spent 300 dollars on a gun, which is a major concern.
Releasing a free version would also create whale-salt, if only.
Ergo, we cannot fix the weapon, because that would be "unfair" to the rich players.
Ergo, the weapon cannot have a free version, because it would dominate free play.
Ergo, there will likely never be a free mixmaster.

pretty much
I'd love to have the gun be altered so long as it behaves similarly while being less end-all for guns. It takes the best part of pulsars (area denial) antiguas (6 bullets per clip) blasters (3 clicks per clip) and alchemers (damage values) without the downsides of all of them.
On top of that is the wonky way it works that's significantly more confusing the more lag you have.
So before we get a free one (which I am on board for), lets first fix the weapon.

how about
why not remove the mixmaster entirely? if we arent gonna get a nerf the next best thing is to get rid of em. replace everyones mixmasters with tons of crs or energy as like "ok if you only had mixmasters on u then heres a bunch of money to replace it."
I'd prefer them to be a reward for completing a shadow lair, but still requires some crafting.
But before then the weapon really needs an overhaul. Right now the weapons are rare, and if they were any less rare it would be mayhem.
