SCATTER-9
Shotgun
Helix DirectorateA drum-fed automatic shotgun with a perforated heat shield. Repeated shots spread wider as the assembly warms, so its nine-shell reserve should be treated as options rather than one spray.
Operating principle
A drum-fed automatic shotgun with a perforated heat shield. Repeated shots spread wider as the assembly warms, so its nine-shell reserve should be treated as options rather than one spray.
Modification choices
A choke concentrates the pellet group and demands better aim. A ported barrel reduces follow-up climb but exposes a larger flash. A shell carrier improves reserve access without changing magazine capacity.
Engagement doctrine
Fight around a hard corner and step back during the action cycle. Use in PvP breaches and indoor Battle Royale finishes; PvE armored targets require exposed joints, not center-mass fire.
Strengths, limits & counters
Sustains a breach but advertises a long drum reload. Withdraw to medium range and wait for the shield to glow.
Reading the specifications
Damage is the total from one shell when every pellet hits an unarmored torso at close range. Partial patterns deal less; the number is not damage per pellet. Rate is nominal cycling speed; burst pauses, charging, cooling and reloads reduce sustained output. Capacity counts projectiles, shells or charges per load. Range describes the intended engagement distance. Recoil is a 0–100 control-demand index: lower is steadier, not weaker.
Operators & modes
Recommended operators: ROOK, CAIRN. The displayed range is 14 metres in this fictional design. Treat it as a planning guide: sightlines, armor and movement still decide the encounter.
