Scatter Blaster
The Scatter Blaster is described as a close-range, wide-cone projectile weapon. Its source comparison is a shotgun, and Shell Greaser is listed as its upgrade.
How it works
The technology entry characterizes the Scatter Blaster as a scatter-shot projectile weapon with close-range, wide-cone use. It names Shell Greaser as an upgrade but does not explain its effect or give a damage comparison with other weapons.
When it helps
If your intended engagement is close range, its stated role may fit. For a different firing style, compare the source's rapid-fire Pulse Spitter or beam-based Blaze Javelin.
The tradeoff
Its listed firing role is close range with a wide cone, which may not match a need for another weapon style.
