The '''Sobek''' is a [[Grineer]] automatic shotgun that has a large 20-round drum magazine. While it suffers a very slow reload time and low ammo efficiency, and its reliance on {{Icon|Proc|Impact|text}} makes it less useful against armored enemies, it can lay down suppressing fire and benefits the most from magazine increasing mods. It is used by the Grineer [[Trooper]] and [[Executioners/Nok|Executioner Nok]].

*Has linear damage falloff from 100% to 50% from 20m to 30m target distance (distances are affected by [[Projectile Speed]]).

==Notes==

*The listed damage is actually the total of all the pellets' damage value. The actual damage per pellet is '''65.625''' {{Icon|Proc|Impact|text}}, '''10.95''' {{Icon|Proc|Puncture|text}} and '''10.95''' {{Icon|Proc|Slash|text}}.
−
*The listed Status Chance is the base chance per shot that at least one pellet will proc a status. The actual base Status Chance per pellet is ~3.2%.

*Modding the weapon with its exclusive {{M|Shattering Justice}} and {{M|Acid Shells}} gives the Sobek very good crowd control capabilities.
−
*Against Grineer, modding for {{Icon|Proc|Radiation|text}}, {{Icon|Proc|Toxin|text}}, {{Icon|Proc|Viral|text}}, or {{Icon|Proc|Heat|text}} damage is only beneficial up to about level 50. After that, the sobeks reliance on {{Icon|Proc|Impact|text}} damage makes it suffer against heavy armor, making {{Icon|Proc|Corrosive|text}} and {{Icon|Proc|Heat|text}} or {{Icon|Proc|Corrosive|text}} and {{Icon|Proc|Cold|text}} a better option, even despite not being able to reach 100% status.
−
*It is beneficial to concentrate on increasing fire rate and damage over ammunition capacity.
−
*Using the [[Shotgun Ammo Mutation]] mod can help regain ammo when needed.

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.

Trooper Manually Reloading Some Ammo
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.
Bugs
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.
