Red Text
Ride the wave, dude!
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 shotgun that fires pellets that bounce and spread like waves. Kinetic (no element) with the characteristic that 10 pellets bounce and disperse. Both the name and the red text favor “Wave”.
🧩 Origin of the red text “Ride the wave, dude!” is surfer slang (“dude” is typical surf/California colloquial) and a wordplay linking the unique effect “wave-spreading bullet (Wave)” and the weapon name “Wave”. It evokes the vibe of a surf movie like Point Break, but primary verification as a direct quote from a specific work or character is unverified = the external source is (unverified).
What kind of shotgun? (Beginner’s perspective)
- Jakobs-made shotgun. Attribute is Kinetic (no element)
- Unique effect is treated as Heirloom (Heirloom = family heirloom slot). In practice it behaves as a bullet barrage where 10 pellets bounce and spread in a wave pattern
- Because of the bouncing spread, it’s easy to hit an enemy with multiple pellets in narrow corridors or near walls
Unique effect (Mechanics)
Heirloom: bouncing and spreading in a wave pattern pellet barrage.
- In-game: Shoots a wave of ten pellets that bounce and spread.
- Web (Lootlemon): Heirloom
- Quirk: Because the bullets bounce, the spread tends to dissipate in long-range/open terrain = suited for close to mid range
