Characteristics[]
This weapon deals primarily 
Slash damage.
Advantages:
- High
Slash damage - effective against health and shields (although Puncture and Impact is much better against the respective damage classes). - Second largest magazine size of all shotgun secondaries, behind Twin Kohmak.
- Good fire rate.
- Innate 1.5 meter punch through.
- One polarity.
Disadvantages:
- Tied with Twin Kohmak for lowest base damage of all shotgun secondaries.
- Linear damage falloff from 100% to 66.67% from 12m to 24m target distance (distances are affected by Projectile Speed).
- Requires a short spool-up before reaching optimal fire rate.
- Consumes 1.67 ammo per shot at full spool-up.
- Accuracy decreases during spool-up.
Comparisons:
- Kohmak (Single Pellet), compared to Twin Kohmak (Single Pellet):
- Lower base damage per projectile (12.00 vs. 12.60)
- Lower total damage (12 vs. 12.6)
- Lower average damage per tap (12 vs. 12.6)
- Lower burst DPS (60 vs. 84.04)
- Lower sustained DPS (45 vs. 63.02)
- Lower fire rate (5.00 attacks/sec vs. 6.67 attacks/sec)
- Smaller magazine (30 vs. 40)
- Less shots per magazine (30 vs. 40)
- Smaller max ammo capacity (60 vs. 120)
- More accurate (N/A vs. N/A)
- Lower Mastery Rank required (5 vs. 10)
Notes[]
- The Kohmak fires an increasing number of pellets the longer it is fired, until it reaches its maximum pellet count of five pellets per shot. It will also consume 1.6667(5/3) ammo per shot at maximum spool.
- With its base magazine size and fired from rest to full spool, the Kohmak can effectively fire 25 shots, with one round left in the magazine. The number of shots per magazine can be increased by firing the Kohmak slowly to prevent spool-up, allowing it to fire its maximum of 40 shots, but at the cost of effective damage
- The listed damage is actually a combination of all pellets' damage values. The actual damage per pellet is 0.6 Impact, 0.6 Puncture and 1.8 Slash. The damage per pellet during when its spooled up is 6 Impact, 6 Puncture and 18 Slash.
Trivia[]
- The Kohmak's last ten shots sound slightly different to indicate low ammunition.
Bugs[]
- The Kohmak's energy color will be inherited from a Primary weapon, as opposed to whatever the chosen energy color is on the Kohmak.
