Summary
The PKR Maelstrom is a Rare automatic shotgun manufactured by Korolev. 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'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.
