Background

The Armsel Protecta (also known as Sentinel Arms Co Striker-12, Armsel Striker, Protecta Bulldog, and Cobray/SWD Street Sweeper) is a combat 12-gauge shotgun with fixed drum designed for riot control and combat; the loading and firing mechaniques has been significantly updated.

• Can use alternate shotgun shells

ALT-FIRE: Fire ice beam

Gameplay

The Protecta is a solid and reliable weapon; it's not very accurate, but fires as fast as you can tap the fire button, and has a huge magazine capable of holding up to 12 rounds. However it must be reloaded shell by shell which is a slow process (unless you have the shotgun loading belt equipped, in which case it is much faster).

The Protecta can also fire alternative shotgun shells such as explosive shells, making it even more versatile.

Upgrades

There are two upgrades for the Protecta.

Protecta Extended Magazine

Once Liz is discovered, the Protecta can receive a magazine upgrade. Costs 200 polymers.

Protecta Ice Beam

Allows Protecta to fire freeze rays using Blue Mana. This upgrade can be bought from the blacksmith on Elysion for 2 Magic Orbs.
