==Summary==
The Z-180 Close Combat Rifle/Asymmetric Engagement Mitigator, more commonly known as the Scattershot, is a Forerunner shotgun. The Scattershot gained popular use by Builder Security who used it to engage the Flood during large scale evacuations of Forerunner planets. The scattershot is extremely dangerous in relatively close quarters, and fires multiple individual projectiles, though its most remarkable attribute is that its rounds can bounce off surfaces. As a weapon created to combat the Flood and prevent them from reusing corpses, it will disintegrate its targets if enough of the projectiles hit them at the same time.
Loathsome Thing is a special variant of the Z-180 Close Combat Rifle/Asymmetric Engagement Mitigator that features increased damage, a faster rate of fire of 141 rpm, faster reload speed, and an increased magazine size.
The Didact's Signet is a special variant of the Z-180 Close Combat Rifle/Asymmetric Engagement Mitigator. Handcrafted by the Ur-Didact to reward his most elite Prometheans, Didact's Signet fires a quartet of stronger, faster moving, and longer ranged projectiles compared to normal Scattershots. Its projectiles also have stronger tracking capabilities after ricocheting.
