Hek

"The HEK is a powerful shotgun that fires its shots with a tight spread, making it efficient at medium range as long as its strong recoil is properly managed."

- In-Game Description

The Hek is a shotgun that deals very high damage in a narrower cone compared to other shotguns.

Characteristics
Advantages:
 * High damage.
 * Tightest pellet cone of all shotguns.
 * Fastest reloading time of all shotguns.
 * Inflicts the most damage per shot of all shotguns.
 * Longest range of all shotguns.
 * Least damage falloff of all shotguns. (Testing required)

Disadvantages:
 * No polarity mod slots.
 * Very small base magazine size.
 * Like all shotguns, this weapon is less effective against the Grineer without armor piercing mods.
 * Requires Mastery rank 4 to unlock and purchase.

Acquisition
The Hek can be purchased for  225 or the blueprint for  25,000 upon reaching Mastery Rank 4.

Recommended Loadout

 * Mods: Point Blank (Damage), Flechette (Armor Piercing), Ammo Stock lvl 3 (increases mag size to 6, max), Tactical Pump (Reload Speed)
 * Sidearm: Lato, Lex, Bolto/Akbolto (for long range fighting to compensate for it's short range and the damage penalty for greater distances)
 * Melee: Gram, Fragor, Scindo (a heavy weapon, but this is mostly based on preference and any melee weapon will do)
 * Artifacts: Shotgun Scavenger

Tips

 * Very effective against the Infested, especially when used with fire mods.
 * Climbing mastery ranks requires leveling many weapons. Mastery rank 4 is equivalent to leveling 2 warframes to level 25 and 10 different weapons to max rank.
 * Ammo Stock mod rank 0 (+10%) adds no extra rounds to the magazine. Rank 1 (+20%) adds one round to the magazine (for a total 5) and rank 3 (+40%) adds two (for a total 6). There is no need to upgrade the mod further as no additional rounds will be gained.
