Red Text
I love to reload during a battle.
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 revolver that gains “Ricochet” each time it auto-reloads. Bullets bounce from enemy to enemy an increasing number of times with reload by Stack, a tricky gun that gets more fun the more you hit. The name is derived from the Revolver Ocelot of Metal Gear.
🧩 Origin of the red text Revolver Ocelot of the Metal Gear series is the source. The weapon name “Shalashaska” (Shalashaska) is the alias Ocelot uses in METAL GEAR SOLID 3 and others, and the red text “I love to reload during a battle.” is a line based on Ocelot’s famous quote (Fandom / MentalMars). The unique effect of increasing ricochet on auto-reload also matches Ocelot’s character who cares about reload actions as a revolver user. The fact that Jakobs is a revolver manufacturer also fits perfectly.
What kind of pistol? (Beginner’s perspective)
- Jakobs-made revolver-type pistol. One shot is heavy, high-damage manufacturer
- Unique ability “Aweful Lot (Aweful Lot)” where each Auto-Reload adds Exhiliration stack of Stack
- For each Stack, Ricochet (Ricochet) count +1 = the number of times bullets bounce from enemy to enemy increases
- Quirk: Stack is reset by Manual Reload. If you want to extend ricochet, using Auto-Reload is the point
Unique Effect (Mechanics)
Aweful Lot (Aweful Lot): When Auto-Reload, grants Exhiliration Stack (1 Stack gives Ricochet +1). Manual Reload resets it.
- In-game: Aweful Lot: On Auto-Reload, grants Exhiliration stack (+1 Ricochet per stack). Resets on manual Reload.
- **Web (Lootlemon) **: Aweful Lot - On Auto-Reload, grants a Stack of Exhiliration. Each Stack of Exhiliration increases the number of possible Ricochets by 1. Resets on manual Reload.
- Weakness: When Manual Reload, Stack disappears = proper use of reload actions is essential
