Summary[ | ]

Scatter Blaster is a technology upgrade for the Multi-tool which uses Projectile Ammunition.

This shotgun-style weapon fires 8 projectiles at once in a wide spread, allowing it to damage multiple targets at once, and making it most effective in close range encounters such as charging animals or attacks by Sentinel Quads.

It has a burst capacity of two shots by default (can be observed by holding down the attack button), which can be upgraded through S and X-rated Scatter Blaster Upgrades.
