Red Text
So La Ti Buck
This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.
A Jakobs-made Legendary shotgun that scatters the entire magazine in one trigger pull, with bullets ricocheting off walls and enemies multiple times. The combination of full‑mag scatter and ricocheting makes it extremely strong in tight spaces and against groups.
🧩 Origin of the red text A play on the solfège scale “Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti” (Fandom). It’s a wordplay that replaces the note after the final “Ti” with “Buck” (=Jakobs‑style weapon naming), linking the weapon name “Doeshot” with the opening “Do” (the “Do” of solfège, which is the English “Doe, a deer”). Both the name and the red text are unified as music references.
What kind of shotgun? (Beginner’s perspective)
- Jakobs-made shotgun (Fire element). One trigger pulls the entire magazine in a burst
- The fired projectiles ricochet multiple times (ricochet) = bounce off walls and enemies
- Full‑mag scatter + ricochet makes it strong in tight spaces and against groups. On the other hand, it’s not a weapon for single‑shot precision
Unique effect (Mechanics)
Doer: The entire magazine is burst‑fired, and the projectiles ricochet multiple times.
- In‑game: Doer: The entire mag is fired out, bouncing off of surfaces.
- **Web (Lootlemon) **: The Doeshot Burst‑fires its entire magazine and its projectiles ricochet several times.
- Weakness: Because it expels all rounds with one trigger, reload frequency is high. Ricochets are hard to predict
