Description
A short range, high damage projectile weapon. This functions much like a Shotgun, but instead of physical projectiles, it uses energy blasts which give no kickback. It is rather expensive though.

The Better Future Scatter Laser is a grade 1 weapon block manufactured by Better Future. Like all Better Future blocks, it can be crafted with a Better Future Fabricator.

It has 5 attachment point(s) and takes up 2 cell(s).

Usage

The Better Future Scatter Laser is an average shotgun with average stats. Due to dealing energy damage, it's only effective against unprotected targets with armor. The high price also limits it's usage. One would be better off with the Hawkeye Bayonet Shotgun instead, a cheap weapon with high damage and at the same cost.

Trivia

• The Better Future Scatter Laser is the only shotgun in the entire game that deals energy damage. It also does not knock the player's Tech back when fired.
• The shogun itself resembles a headlamp.
• The shotgun will be concealed in a panel, like some of Better Future's weapons, and play a unique audio when it's expanding/contracting. In the concealed state, the weapon technically takes up a cell only. It will pop out when the player utilizes the fire command or when an enemy is nearby.
  • If the player does not hold the fire button long enough, it will only play it's animation of extending and retracting, without firing at all.
