root@hyperion-db:~$ cat description.txt

A pearlescent Hyperion shotgun built for sustained damage rather than short bursts. It fires relatively few pellets, but makes up for that with a very high fire rate, fast Hyperion accuracy recovery, and a chance to return ammo on each shot. In practice it feels more like a close- to mid-range bullet hose than a traditional shotgun.

root@hyperion-db:~$ cat notes.txt

If an ammo-return proc would overfill the magazine, the extra rounds can spill into reserves when there is space. Because the procs can chain, its effective magazine size varies wildly from fight to fight. It pairs especially well with ammo and fire-rate boosts, notably on Salvador. In rare cases it can bug out and stop consuming ammo or reloading correctly until you reset the area, fast travel, die, or re-equip it.
