Z-180 Close Combat Rifle/Asymmetric Engagement Mitigator

The Z-180 Close Combat Rifle/Asymmetric Engagement Mitigator, more commonly known as the Scattershot, is a Forerunner shotgun. It is carried by Promethean Knights.
==Gameplay==
===Halo 4===
====Advantages (Multiplayer)====
*Like the Shotgun, the Scattershot can kill in one shot at point-blank range.
*The Scattershot has a longer effective range and higher rate-of-fire than the Shotgun, making it more effective at medium-close ranges.
*The Scattershot's beams can ricochet off of walls.
====Disadvantages (Multiplayer)====
*The Scattershot's instant-kill range is shorter than the Shotgun's.
*The Scattershot has a slow reload speed.
==Changes from Halo 4 to Halo 5: Guardians==
*Has a flashlight on the front.
*Fires eight beams instead of six.
*Faster reload.
*Tightened spread.
*Beams will now ricochet off surfaces once, then disappear.
==Trivia==
*As with all Forerunner infantry weapons in Halo 4, the Scattershot self-assembles when picked up.
*A player can commit suicide by shooting the ground, ceiling, a wall, or a Hardlight Shield.
*Players or enemies killed by the Scattershot sometimes disintegrate upon death.
