The FA1 Barrage is a shotgun available to the Terran Republic. It is auto granted.

The FA1 Barrage serves as an equivalent to the Icon NC Mauler S6 and Icon VS Thanatos VE70, each serving as an all-round shotgun featuring moderate damage and a high magazine capacity, as well as a serviceable cone-of-fire and pellet spread, topped off with a notably fast reload speed for the weapon class.

The FA1 Barrage, Icon NC Mauler S6, and Icon VS Thanatos VE70 are statistically nigh-identical weapons, with the only difference found in the Vanu option's muzzle velocity, which is lowered in exchange for the faction's 'no bullet drop' trait.

History[]

  • January 12, 2017 Hotfix
    • Max damage from 130@8m to 100@5m
    • Min damage from 50@18m to 84@20m
    • Magazine size from 6 to 8
    • Ext. Mags bonus from 4 to 2
    • Ammo capacity from 48 to 56
    • Cone of Fire bloom from 0.5 to 0
    • ADS pellet spread from 3 to 2.5
    • Vertical recoil from 1.3 to 2.8
    • Horizontal recoil from 0.2 to 0.5
    • Horizontal recoil tolerance from 0.4 to 1.5
    • Hipfire recoil recovery rate from 15 to 8
  • March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
    • Starting CoF for all shotguns is now 0.15 in all non-jumping/sprinting/falling movement states.
    • Pellet spread values while aiming and firing from the hip have been standardized using the wider hipfire values.
    • Cone of fire now blooms per shot by 0.3 from the hip, and 0.15 while aiming.
    • Dev Note: The above changes aim to reduce the inconsistency and frustration of using these weapons, which was mainly caused by cone of fire spread stacked on top of the pellet spread. These changes are important when the new attachments and updated attachments come into play.
    • Now has access to the Smart-Choke, Comfort Grip, MPL and Flechette Ammo.
    • No longer has access to the Forward Grip and Laser Sight.
  • April 5, 2022 Hotfix
    • Semi-auto shotguns now use the same Slug Ammunition as automatic shotguns, changing their damage from 600-400 to 450-300. (This value was mistakenly shown as 475 damage before, both in-game and patch notes, that's been remedied as well.)
