Omen

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

A Tediore shotgun that fires a central orb surrounded by a shifting ring of E-tech projectiles. The outer ring contracts and expands as it travels, giving the weapon much better reach than most Tediore splatguns and letting all of the shots converge at the right distance for enormous damage. It is dangerous up close, though, because the thrown reload and splash can easily catch the user as well.

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

Its low fire rate makes fire-rate bonuses especially valuable. The thrown reload blast is dangerous enough to down the user, and it cannot roll a vertical grip or the Gentle prefix. Firing straight up distorts the ring pattern, though it still contracts and expands. Each pellet adds a full elemental splash instance that cannot crit, while the impact hit can, and grenade damage bonuses increase the splash. Non-elemental versions can spawn as well, with purple pellets that deal non-elemental impact and explosive splash.
