"The KS-23 is a specialized heavy primary shotgun that delivers a massive 550 damage at maximum upgrade, the highest in its category. It uses the 23x75 caliber and is restricted by a 4-round capacity and a slow 40 RPM fire rate, demanding high precision. With a x2.3 multiplier to mutants, it is extremely effective at neutralizing both anomalous and human threats at point-blank range. Its raw alpha damage allows for neutralizing targets in a single hit at extreme close distances."
