The ''Loathsome Thing'' appears as an Ultra Rare Level 4 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 its overall range is unchanged from the normal Scattershot, making it unadvisable in medium-long-range combat. | The ''Loathsome Thing'' appears as an Ultra Rare Level 4 [[Requisition system|REQ]] that grants 150 REQ Points when sold.
