Mortal Shell 2 Caged Hystrix

Like the Triarch Repeater, the Caged Hystrix is a fully automatic weapon that fires rounds at an incredibly high speed. Unlike the Triarch Repeater, it does not have a delay when pulling the trigger, since it does not need to spin up, which makes it easier to use when under pressure. The downside is that it holds far fewer rounds than the Triarch Repeater, though each round does substantially more damage.

“The contraption pierces the creature trapped inside, prompting a violent and often useful reaction.”
