** The projectiles are now in a consistent spread-X pattern.
** With smart scoping, the weapon gains more range. Zooming in will cause the entire weapon to extend, and the shots become altered to form into a manageable, spread-X pattern.

** '''''[[Loathsome Thing]]''''': an improved Scattershot with a doubled magazine size, slightly more damage, a faster rate of fire, and a faster reload time per projectile, making it useful for dealing with multiple enemies up close. This particular weapon [[Special weapons (Halo 5: Guardians)|appears]] in ''Osiris'', found in a pair.

** '''''[[Didact's Signet]]''''': an advanced Scattershot that fires four projectiles with greater range, higher damage, and stronger tracking after ricochets. This weapon is highly ideal for destroying enemies up to {{convert|21|m|ft|sp=us}} when scoped in, and for hitting enemies around corners and out of sight in close quarters. It has a maximum projectile range of 48.74 m (159.91 ft), 23.6% up from the standard weapon.
** '''''Didact's Signet''''': an advanced Scattershot that fires four projectiles with far greater range, higher damage, and stronger tracking after ricochets. This weapon is highly ideal for destroying enemies up to {{convert|21|m|ft|sp=us}} when scoped in.
*** This particular weapon appears in ''[[The Breaking]]'', where it comes in handy due to many tight corridors and/or obstructive scenery objects that facilitate long-range ricochet shots against [[Armiger Soldier]]s.
*** With ricochets, the ''Didact's Signet'' takes two shots to kill a Spartan.
