Red Text
What goes around...
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.
Instead of reloading, the fired projectile “returns” and the ammo is replenished, a Maliwan shotgun. The projectile flies a certain distance and returns like a boomerang, and by collecting it you continue loading. Added in Story Pack 1 as a single.
🧩 Source of the red text “What goes around…” is an English idiom “What goes around comes around.” (the first half taken) (MentalMars). The fired projectile returns to the hand is the Remnant boomerang behavior, used as a wordplay (“comes around” = projectile returns).
What kind of shotgun? (Beginner’s perspective)
- Maliwan shotgun. Element can be switched among Fire, Shock, Corrosive, Cold, Radiation
- No reload is the biggest feature. When the fired projectile returns after a certain distance, ammo is replenished
- Because you fire and then collect the projectile, you can play with no gap in the reload animation.
- Added in Story Pack 1 (Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned)
Unique effect (Mechanics)
Remnant (Remnant): No reload. Instead, when the fired projectiles return, ammo is replenished.
- In-game: Remnant - No reload, ammo is replenished when projectiles return
- Web (Lootlemon): Remnant - Does not reload, and instead refills Ammo when the projectiles return
- The projectile flies a certain distance then returns to the hand (boomerang type). Receiving the returning projectile maintains the load.
