Template:New Content Template:Weapon Infobox The Z-180 Close Combat Rifle/Asymmetric Engagement Mitigator, commonly known as the Scattershot, is a Forerunner energy channel weapon.[1]

Overview

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, though its most remarkable attribute is a schismatic dispersal effect that can cause hard-surfaced corridors to ricochet with its energy beams.[1] The scattershot can shoot much faster than any other shotgun in Halo 4.

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.[2]

As a weapon created to combat the Flood and prevent them from reusing corpses, biomass will disintegrate when shot at.[3]
