Unique chain shotgun

For the regular variant of this weapon, see Chain shotgun.

The unique chain shotgun is the unique weapon variant of the chain shotgun, a very short range, multi-shot weapon which fires 3-shot bursts which deal fairly high damage individually (X3); a slightly shorter delay between each shot; a moderate time between bursts; slightly lower overall accuracy and slightly heavier weight. Each unique chain shotgun comes with a combination of traits that make it different from all other chain shotguns.
