Specter 1882 family
Specter made, pump-action shotgun. Tight pellet spread and competitive rate of fire, but wasteful reloads. Modified with a bayonet for melee.
loaded / in reserve / total
18 per hit × 15 pellets = 270 per volley, before falloff
Hits needed to kill a 150 HP hunter, each band closing at the metre it stops working. Point anywhere along a bar to read that distance below. The dashed lines are named under the bars: falloff is where damage starts dropping, flat is where it stops falling, drop is where the round stops flying flat.
share of full damage, on the axis and marks the bars use
Falls fastest between 5 and 15 m, at 65% of full damage per 10 m; 9.3% per 10 m across the whole fall to 80 m, where it holds 30%. A quarter of it is gone by 9 m, where the line meets the marked level - the figure the weapon list sorts by.
Pump-action, 4 rounds, iron sights.
The muzzle climbs 20° after every shot, 10° while aiming. How much of the screen that eats is not fixed - it depends on how wide your own field of view is, so these are drawn at the game's default 55°, and a wider setting costs you less of it.
Your weapon rests shouldered, so that is the cone an unaimed shot uses - crouching, walking and jumping all scale it. Sighted, it closes to 1.
4 shots 0.6s apart, then 14.8s to load them back. 16.6s for one full trip through the magazine.

Stock round. It carries a ladder of 2 levels, so an obstacle costing more than that stops it dead rather than weakening it.

Damage through is this weapon's in-game damage figure carried across one obstacle of that material. Rows marked as unpriced fall back to the lenient one-level default, which the game's code applies but which no shipped table states - treat those as provisional.
Its attacks are not one damage type - light attack deals Melee Blunt, heavy attack deals Melee Stab - so which one you pick below changes what it is strongest and weakest against.
Against a hunter's 150 health, from the game's own hunter hit-zone table. Melee carries no falloff, so these do not change with distance.
Light attack
Deals Melee Blunt damage. It hits Immolator hardest (1.44x) and Water Devil softest (0.45x).
Three hits
Five or more
Computed from each creature's own hit-zone table against this attack's damage type.
Louder than 14% of the arsenal to AI. That is what monsters notice. Another hunter hears the shot out to 750 m - the same for every weapon in the game, so this bar is about stealth from AI, not from people.
of 150 weapons, Flame Rifle to Uppercut Precision
Drag to a distance and fire. Each layer fades, dulls and drops out on the game's own curves - past 750 m the report stops dead, which is the game's cutoff rather than a fade.
Built from the weapon's real sound layers, each following the volume, filter and dropout curve the game authors for it, plus one synthesized echo tail taken from the game's own outdoor reverb settings (decay 6 s, predelay 50 ms). Not reproduced: exact room-by-room tails, the stereo image, obstruction by terrain and buildings, and the variation the game adds between shots.
The game's trait descriptions give no numbers. Where this weapon's own attribute presets substitute values for an active trait, they are below.
Keeps you aiming through the reload cycle
| Stat | Base | With |
|---|---|---|

| Sway, horizontal | 0.5 | 0.25 |
| Sway, vertical | 0.2 | 0.1 |
Only stats the trait actually moves are listed - a value the trait leaves untouched is omitted rather than shown unchanged. A crouched-spread multiplier of 1 means crouching stops steadying the weapon at all while that mode is active. Dual wielding is a weapon capability rather than a trait, and is not uniformly an upgrade: several pistols fire slower akimbo than single, in exchange for the doubled magazine.
Every trait this weapon's own data references. A recommendation is the game's own; the numbers above are the ones we can prove from the weapon's attribute presets.
A few perks carve out exceptions in their own description - Crack Shot excludes shotguns and sawed-off variants - so read the perk text, not just the listing.
