1515 Scatter Shot fires a wide spread of projectiles from Oongka's Hand Cannon, hitting nearby enemies in a cone-shaped area in front of him. Unlike single-target ranged attacks, the spread pattern makes Scatter Shot effective against groups of enemies at close to medium range.

1717 The skill consumes ammunition rather than Stamina or Spirit. Oongka's Marksmanship passive skill increases the damage of all firearm attacks including Scatter Shot. At higher levels, Elemental Scatter Shot can imbue the projectiles with elemental effects for additional damage and status effects.

1919 Scatter Shot belongs to Oongka's Spirit (Green) skill tree, not the Stamina branch. It costs 5 Spirit per shot, fired via R3. The spread pattern hits enemies in a cone, making it more effective at close range where more pellets connect. It can be enhanced through the Elemental Scatter Shot upgrade, which adds elemental damage types to the spread.

40+Patch 1.04.00 fixed an exploit where Scatter Shot could be fired during Back Hang without consuming any bullets, which let Oongka chain spread shots indefinitely from the suspended position. The skill now correctly checks ammo before firing in Back Hang, matching the behavior used everywhere else. See Patch 1.04.00 for the full Oongka skill change list.
