Summary

The PKR Maelstrom is a RareRarity.svgRare automatic shotgun manufactured by Korolev logo colored.pngKorolev. It is able to quickly dispatch of any close-quarters threat a prospector might encounter.

Attachments

The PKR Maelstrom can have 8 different Attachments installed on it, one for each slot. The type of attachment must be compatible with the weapon's type, so only attachments that have Shotgun or Shotgun Ammo as a category can be installed onto a PKR Maelstrom.

Description

A semi-automatic shotgun, it's heavy and a poor choice at range, but utterly devastating up close.

Lore

Korolev logo colored.pngKorolev's first attempt at a building a phase weapon, the Phase-Kinetic Reactive ""Maelstrom's"" ammo pack carries more than enough energy to fulminate whatever gets in its way in a matter of seconds, provided it's close enough.
