Shotgun Ammo Mutation is a shotgun mod that converts any unused Secondary Ammo into Primary Ammo. The affected shotgun will only convert ammo while equipped, and will not convert any ammo type used by holstered secondary weapons until their own ammo is full.
Converted ammo is denoted by a 
symbol. The final amount of ammo restored is rounded to the nearest integer.

Tips[]
- Good for weapons with poor ammo economy, such as the
Boar or Kohm. - Functions well with Sentinel's Vacuum or Chesa Kubrow's Retrieve, which automatically collect unused ammo as needed.
