Introducing the DB12 – Backfire, an epic-grade weapon from the Shotgun family. This powerhouse boasts a base damage of 49×5, a fire rate of 105, and a magazine capacity of 12. What sets it apart is its unique "Frost Vortex" ability, which generates an Area of Effect (AOE) within a 4.5-meter radius to ensnare enemies, inflicting 30% Psi Intensity Status Damage per second for 4 seconds. Additionally, the DB12 – Backfire comes with multiple passive abilities that activate under specific conditions:

  • Land 5 hits on an enemy to trigger Frost Vortex.
  • After hitting enemies within the Frost Vortex once, they will be Frozen for 3 seconds (with a 4-second cooldown; they cannot be frozen again during this period).
  • When striking Frozen enemies, damage increases by 60%.

For an enhanced gaming experience, consider playing *Once Human* on a larger screen using your PC or laptop with BlueStacks. This setup not only amplifies the visual experience but also enhances precision with keyboard and mouse controls.
