The Splatgun is an E-techShotgun manufactured by Hyperion and Tediore. The Splatgun is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.
Usage & Description
Splatguns launch balls of energy in an arc similar to a grenade launcher, and generally have a high chance of inflicting an elemental status effect compared to their normal variants.
Tediore Splatguns, when reload-thrown, will explode and launch smaller submunitions similar to a MIRV grenade.
Hyperion Splatgun projectiles bounce off multiple surfaces until it hits an enemy target.
Notes
Splatguns can spawn with the "critical hit damage" accessory, despite the weapon being unable to score critical hits.
Splatguns cannot spawn with the vertical grip accessory, or the Gentle prefix (Tediore) and Practicable prefix (Hyperion), which could give them x3 projectiles fired.
Splatguns will restore rocket ammunition when their shots are absorbed by an absorb shield.
Splatgun barrels appear to use a modified version of the grenadier/rocketeer barrels as a base.
