Z-180 Scattershot: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:47, June 5, 2012

Template:New Content Template:Weapon Infobox The Z-180 Close Combat Rifle/Asymmetric Engagement Mitigator, commonly known as the Scattershot, is a shotgun-like Forerunner energy channel weapon.^[1]

Overview

The Scattershot was first used as a close-range defensive weapon toward the end of the Forerunner-Flood war. The Scattershot is very dangerous in close quarters, though most remarkable attribute is a schismatic dispersal effect that can cause hard-surfaced corridors to ricochet with energy beams.^[1]

Design details

The weapon bears the hallmarks of Forerunner design: highly angular and metallic. It appears to be held together, at least partly, by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process and floating sights. Orange highlights can be seen while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; these highlights grow brighter when the weapon is fired. The weapon receives five energy cells from a breach-loaded compartment.^[2]

-The scattershot is a weapon used by Forerunner [[Promethean Knight]]s encountered on Requiem. This weapon seems to lend itself to close-range combat due to both its low clip size, five rounds, and its wide spread as indicated by the weapon's reticle in the [[MJOLNIR]]'s [[HUD]].
