The '''Z-180 Close Combat Rifle/Asymmetric Engagement Mitigator''', commonly known as the '''Scattershot''', is a [[Forerunner]] [[directed energy weapon|energy channel weapon]] that was originally used by [[Builder Security]] forces.<ref name="O+A">[http://halo.xbox.com/halo4#!an-epic-universe/ordnance-armor/cbbca9b3-5108-41aa-aa21-9b523de68266 '''Halo 4 Official Site''': ''Ordnance + Armor'']</ref><ref name="VIS">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]'''''</ref> It is commonly carried by [[Promethean]] [[Knight Battlewagon]]s.

==Overview==
The Scattershot gained popular use by [[Builder Security]] who used it to engage the Flood during large scale evacuations of Forerunner planets.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 98''</ref> Effectively an exotic analogue to a human [[shotgun]], the scattershot was first used as a close-range defensive weapon toward the end of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. The scattershot is extremely dangerous in relatively close quarters, and fires multiple individual projectiles, though its most remarkable attribute is that its rounds can bounce off surfaces.<ref name="O+A"/> As a weapon created to combat the [[Flood]] and prevent them from reusing corpses, it will disintegrate its targets if enough of the projectiles hit them at the same time.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35_pXjNsDUY '''YouTube''': ''Halo 4 Flag Stabbing and Spartan Cosplay - Comic-Con 2012'']</ref>

===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.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/detail/e3-2012-halo-4-renders/600518a8-d6fd-4c01-9f46-d9a97fcd9cc1#imageNumber=1 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''E3 2012: Halo 4 Renders'']</ref>

==Variants==
===Loathsome Thing===
The ''Loathsome Thing'' is stained in the ichor of an unaccountable number of Flood across hundred thousand different [[Flood hive|hives]]. It features increased damage, a faster rate of fire, and an increased magazine size.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>

===Didact's Signet===
The ''Didact<nowiki>'s</nowiki> Signet'' was handcrafted by the [[Ur-Didact]] to reward his most elite Prometheans. It fires faster moving and longer ranged projectiles compared to normal Scattershots. Its projectiles also have stronger tracking capabilities after ricocheting.<ref name="H5G"/> 

== Gameplay ==
In multiplayer, the Scattershot fills a role as a close-quarters power weapon, similar to the UNSC's M45D shotgun. The Scattershot differentiates with a faster rate of fire but a lower lethal range (though its effective range exceeds the shotgun's), and smaller magazine size and lower total ammunition carried.

In [[Slayer|Infinity Slayer]] the Scattershot is a relatively common Ordnance drop weapon. It also and spawns at the start of match on several maps, such as Adrift, Abandon and Haven. The weapon is best used in engagements where at extremely close range, such as the enclosed hallways of Adrift or out of the lifts on Abandon. 

In object-based matches, the Scattershot is an excellent defensive weapon for just about any gametype. Anyone charging your hill or attempting to take your flag should be met with the brutal rebuke of your hard-light projectiles. On the offensive, having one is a great way to clear said hill or flag zone of defenders, and taking down the Oddball carrier. 

In [[Dominion]] matches the Scattershot is a relatively rare ordinance drop (and does not appear at all in Lockdown), it is still very useful, and, unsurprisingly, an excellent weapon for defending bases.

In ''Halo 5: Guardians'' the weapon performs more or less identically to its predecessor, with one major difference; thanks to the addition of smart-scoping, the weapons range can be increased. Zooming in will cause the entire weapon to extend, and the shots to form into a manageable, spread-x pattern. In addition, bolts will track slightly (similar to other hard-light weapons in 5) if bounced off a hard surface. This makes the Scattershot a brutal tool for controlling a point in Strongholds, protecting a flag in CTF, or cleaning out an Armory in Warzone. 
It should not, however, be utilized for long-range engagements, as its range increase is not THAT dramatic.

Warzone variants include the Loathsome Thing (which features increased magazine size of 10 rounds and a faster reload time), and the Didacts Signat (which has higher projectile tracking on ricochets).

==Changes from ''Halo 4'' to ''Halo 5: Guardians''==
*Hardlight rounds are now much tighter when fired, increasing the weapons effective range.
*Ricochet rounds now track slightly.
*Reload is slightly faster.
*Can be [[Spartan abilities#Smart Scope|Smart Scope]]d for increased accuracy, which also changes the weapon's design.

-=== ''Halo 5: Guardians'' ===
-In ''Halo 5: Guardians'' the weapon performs more or less identically to its predecessor, with some major differences. First, the weapon now fires consistently, with the shots of the weapon forming a spread-X pattern, which is then constricted under smart scope's use, a stark difference to the ''Halo 4'' rendition's inconsistent output. In addition, bolts will track slightly, similar to other hardlight weapons in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', if bounced off a hard surface. This makes the Scattershot a brutal tool for controlling a point in Strongholds, protecting a flag in CTF, or cleaning out an Armory in Warzone. It should not, however, be utilized for long-range engagements past {{convert|10.3|m|ft|sp=us}}, as its range increase is not that dramatic.
-Warzone variants include the Loathsome Thing, which features increased magazine size of 10 rounds, more damage, a faster reload time, and a higher rate of fire, and the Didact's Signet, which has higher projectile tracking on ricochets and increased range, including the ability to instantly kill targets up to {{convert|21|m|ft|sp=us}} away when scoped in.
