Description

“A relic of Mars reshaped by the Infestation and excavated from the surface of Mars by Father. In addition to being a powerful shotgun… melee kills can “feed” ammo into its magazine, and it comes equipped with a barbed tentacle that drags enemies toward you - or you to them. It’s a true berserker’s weapon.”

Special Traits:
Meathook: Tapping altfire will shoot out a barbed tentacle that pulls enemies towards you if you’re standing… and towards them if you’re in midair.
Carrion: Melee kills reload the weapon and even “overstuff” the magazine, bringing it up from 3 to even 6. Shots with this weapon after melee kills do increased damage. And yes, this stacks with glaive mods.
Lore
As the second place settled by humans, Mars has a number of relics buried under its sands. Deimos is little different. When examining the spread of infestation on Deimos, the Enferon was found in pre-Orokin ruins that were being subsumed by the Infestation. Little could be divined from these ruins, as they had been picked clean of anything externally valuable…

Save for this three-barreled shotgun found growing from a corpse. The Infestation had been reconstructing it from something. Seemingly a stockless, double-barrel break-action shotgun. A strange find, to be sure. It raised the question of why, exactly, anyone would bring it into space.

Several things were discovered during testing. The blades at the end were actually the end of a long tentacle-like appendage that could latch onto enemies, pulling them towards the user - or the user towards them if they were in midair. Melee kills also reload and even “overfill” it, giving it the ability to fire up to six shots.

Blueprints can be discovered during Isolation Vault bounties. Unlike, say, the Sporothrix, you don’t need to find multiple parts, but you do need lots of Deimos resources and a Bronco to build it. After all - it’s a break-open shotgun.

It wasn’t quite to Father or Haruka Lorne’s sense of aesthetics and taste, but it fit a crucial niche nonetheless. For Tenno and others capable of purging Infested in melee combat, the Enferon could be a Godsend.

Shoot. Stab. Repeat - often with no regard for things like “ammo supply” or “reloading” or “maximum effective range of a shotgun pistol.”

Artist Notes:
Originally, this was going to have a thing like on the Angstrum where you hold down the trigger to fire three rounds, but…. I just wasn’t feeling it. This is near-overpowered enough as is, I didn’t need to make a pistol that did 1890 damage without mods.

Now, I feel like I fall into pretty similar traps - most of the pistols (and even some primaries I’ve drawn up) have been focused on crowd control, and when I try to make something that focuses on single targets, it usually focuses on headshots. So this thing is meant to come up with something totally different!

It’s designed to be used with melee. Especially with thrown melee! In fact, the whole reason it has 26% crit is so it can go over 100% with the Mark Of The Beast glaive mod.

The name ‘Enferon’ is a reference to Darksector. The biggest influences on this were the Cerberus from Shadow Warrior 2, and… look. It’s a break-open shotgun. From martian space. You know exactly what I’m doing here.

I would’ve kept going but 1, I wanted to watch cartoons, 2…. I am genuinely surprised this didn’t crash my computer.
