The 40mm Shotgun Round goes in one weapon only, the Multiple Grenade Launcher.
| Weapon | Damage | Headshot | Velocity | Damage per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Multiple Grenade Launcher | 270, 18 pellets of 15 | ×1.25 | 225 m/s | 150 |
Damage is one body hit up close, with no armour. A headshot multiplies it against players only. Damage per second empties one magazine and counts the reload. Velocity and spread are applied locally by your game client, while the server bounds their limits.

| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
Heavy Scientist | 20.9% | 4 to 21 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
