• Modding the weapon with its exclusive Shattering Justice and Acid Shells gives the Sobek very good crowd control capabilities.
• The Sobek can reach 100% status chance with Scattering Inferno, Frigid Blast, Shell Shock, Toxic Barrage, and Shattering Justice, making every pellet proc a status effect.

TriviaEdit

• Sobek is named after the ancient Egyptian God of the Nile river, likely reflecting how the overall shape of the gun resembles a crocodile's head.
• Along with the Seer, the Sobek was one of the first weapons to possess a non-static model. In this case the central magazine rotates after each shot, and rotates for a second or two when starting the reload animation.
  • The Sobek's twin barrels are telescopic, retracting when stored on the back of the Warframe.
• Sobek is the first weapon that has two PvE weapon-exclusive mods.

• 

  Troopers will manually reload some of the shells when initiating a reload, using a separate animation from players. This may be a relic from when Troopers originally used the Strun as their main weapon.

BugsEdit

• The Sobek's drum magazine has long had minor alignment issues, and may clip out of place. This is easily observed when examining the weapon in the Arsenal screen.
• If the fire button continues to be held upon reaching the end of the magazine, the number of remaining rounds is replenished. Interrupting the animation at this point (rolling, using melee, etc.) results in an instant reload.
