Strategic Combat Analysis
An epic-tier, dual-mode shotgun introduced in the Flashpoint update. The Dolabra's blueprint drops exclusively from the Assessor containers during the Close Scrutiny map operation. It features a unique dynamic firing mode: firing from the hip discharges a wide electrical cone spread that downs raiders in two shots, while Aiming Down Sights (ADS) constricts the energy into a highly accurate, focused laser blast designed to punch straight through ARC armor. Crafting it requires 3x Shredder Gyros, 3x Magnetic Accelerators, and 2x Vaporizer Regulators.
