During repeated field trials, the fully enclosed Magnetic Ordnance Reduction System consistently delivered a tightly pattern array of alloy fragments capable of penetrating all but the most unyielding of targets.
Built upon an advanced composite frame, in close quarters the unique design is nearly unmatched by any other projectile weapon. The shotgun, used primarily as a secondary weapon by the Elders’ Assassin, is elegant in its simplicity and adherence to a singular purpose. Having recovered both of the Chosen Assassin’s weapons from the field, a shotgun and a modular sword, I must admit I am intrigued by the advances the aliens have managed to craft into these otherwise conventional weapons. However, I believe the sword, conceivably forged by the Elders own hands, to be the true asset here. The Chosen Assassin proved deadly with her sword and her shotgun, and both will not doubt be valuable to our efforts. Assassin Weapons is a research project in the XCOM 2: War of the Chosen.
