Shattergun

Go back to > Weapons

The Shattergun is a Shotgun, a primary weapon in The Cycle.

Summary
The first shotgun in the game, although accidentally not documented in the Alpha I Patch Notes is one of the 15 original guns.

Crafted on Prospect Station using salvage and wood from the planet itself, this scattergun demonstrated The ICA's ingenuity and ability to thrive with limited resources. A molded adrentite crystal, byproduct of its refinement for use as rocket fuel, serves as both projectile and propellant; a small electric charge incites a rearrangement in the crystal's lattice, with the sudden energy release fracturing the crystal into thin shards along its length as they're shot through the barrel. Though unconventional, the crystal fragments fired by this weapon carry enough kinetic and thermal energy to defeat light armor and inflict terrible wounds.

Modification
Only 1 of each type of mod (Rail,Handle,Body,Magazine) can be equipped at the same time.Most guns have 4 modifications, some special weapons like KARLA have no modifications because of game direction.
