The Kohmak, similar to the larger 
Kohm, is a hand-shotgun that doubles its volley with every successive shot. It can be researched from the Chem Lab in the dojo.
This weapon can be sold for 
5,000; it is also a requisite ingredient for 
Twin Kohmak (x2).
Characteristics[]
- This weapon deals primarily
Slash damage. - Innate polarity.
Advantages:
- High overall status chance.
- Second largest magazine size of all shotgun secondaries, behind Twin Kohmak.
- Innate 1.5 meters punch through.
- Innate multishot that increases with auto-spool, each consecutive shot adds an additional pellet, up to a maximum of 5 pellets.
- Single Pellet
- Highest status chance
- Above average magazine
- Above average disposition
- Fully Spooled
- Third highest average number of crits per shot behind Ballistica Prime
- Second highest multishot behind Euphona Prime and Tenet Detron
- Third highest disposition behind Tysis
- High magazine
- Above average max ammo
- Third highest average number of crits per shot behind
Disadvantages:
- Tied with Twin Kohmak for lowest base damage of all shotgun secondaries.
- Has linear damage falloff from 100% to 66.67% from 12m to 24m target distance (distances are affected by Projectile Speed).
- Requires a spool-up of 4 and 5 rounds before reaching optimal fire rate and multishot respectively. Fire rate starts at 20% of the listed value, and increases by 32% per shot.
- Consumes 1.67 ammo per shot at full spool-up.
- Accuracy decreases during spool-up.
- Single Pellet
- Below average crit chance
- Very low effective fire rate
- Low damage
- Low reload speed
- Fully Spooled
- Below average crit chance
- Low damage

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.
Bugs[]
- The arsenal does not display the damage, multishot, and status chance after spool-up.

Patch History[]
Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)
- Greater than 100% Status having meaning
Shotguns have a unique Role here based on a very patch-work history with how they interact with Status Chance. A Shotgun that shoots 99% Status Chance would give you 35% (roughly) status per pellet. 100% Status Gives you 100% Status per pellet. This huge jump in performance happens with just a 1% gain - why? Well, to answer that we have to look at our choice to make what the UI conveys reality. It would feel broken to shoot a Shotgun with 100% Status and not see a perfect spread of Effects. In reality, to make Status consistent we have to treat Shotguns as a special case.
Shotguns as a special case means we have buffed the Status Chance of all Shotguns by x3 or greater. The UI now behaves to show the reality that you are determining Status Chance per pellet.
- (Undocumented) Status chance of first projectile increased from 23% to 69% (subsequent projectiles will have their individual status chance divided evenly by this value, as it was in the case before this update).
