The ''Loathsome Thing'' is a named variant of the Z-180 CCR/AEM, with upgrades including a 10-round magazine, a faster rate of fire, faster reloading speed between projectiles, and a slightly higher damage output. Reusing the standard Scattershot's model, the ''Loathsome Thing'' is decorated with additional orange stripes covering the weapon, particularly around the front barrel area and the rest of the weapon's main body. | The ''Loathsome Thing'' is a named variant of the Z-180 CCR/AEM, with upgrades including a 10-round magazine, a faster rate of fire, faster reloading speed between projectiles, and a slightly higher damage output.

The ''Loathsome Thing'' appears as an Ultra Rare Level 4 [[Requisition system|REQ]] that grants 150 REQ Points when sold. It has a faster rate of fire and slightly higher damage output compared to the normal Scattershot, as well as a 10-round magazine. These improvements make the ''Loathsome Thing'' a powerful weapon against multiple enemies up close, as it gives the enemies less time to react, although it retains its overall range from the Scattershot: 13.73 m (45.05 ft) in hipfire, 18.13 m (59.48 ft) with Smart-Link, and a maximum projectile range of 39.43 m (129.36 ft). | The ''Loathsome Thing'' appears as an Ultra Rare Level 4 [[Requisition system|REQ]] that grants 150 REQ Points when sold.
