CODEX

Like the larger Kohm, this hand-shotgun doubles its volley with each successive shot.

A handheld plasma-spitting pistol, specializing at clearing tight corridors and narrow ventilation shafts.

—Sanctuary, Update 16.0 (2015-03-19) teaser site.

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 Credits 5,000; it is also a requisite ingredient for  Twin Kohmak (x2).

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages:

• High damage – effective against health.
• High overall status chance.
• Second largest magazine size of all shotgun secondaries, behind  Twin Kohmak.
• Good fire rate.
• 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.
• Innate polarity.

Disadvantages:

• Tied with  Twin Kohmak for lowest base damage of all shotgun secondaries.
  • Low and damage - less effective against shield and armor.
• Has linear damage falloff from 100% to 66.67% from 12m to 24m target distance (distances are affected by Projectile Speed).
• Low critical chance.
• Requires a spool-up of 4 rounds before reaching optimal fire rate.
  • Consumes 1.67 ammo per shot at full spool-up.
  • Accuracy decreases during spool-up.

Comparisons:

•  Kohmak (Fully Spooled), compared to  Twin Kohmak (Fully Spooled):
  • Equal base damage
  • Lower burst DPS (832.5 vs. 1110.55)
  • Lower sustained DPS (580.22 vs. 846.32)
  • Lower fire rate (5.000 attacks/sec vs. 6.670 attacks/sec)
  • Smaller magazine (40 vs. 80)
  • Less shots per magazine (23 vs. 47)
  • Smaller max ammo capacity (210 vs. 240)
  • Faster reload time (2.00 s vs. 2.20 s)
  • Faster spool-up (4 rounds vs. 11 rounds)
  • More accurate (8 vs. 5.7)
  • Tighter first-shot spread (5.00° vs. 10.00°)
  • Tighter maximum spread (20.00° vs. 25.00°)
  • Lower Mastery Rank required (5 vs. 10)
  • Higher disposition (●●●●● (1.35x) vs. ●●●●○ (1.25x))

Acquisition

The Kohmak's blueprint can be researched from the Chem Lab in the dojo.

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.

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).
