Description[ | ]

This powerful semi-automatic shotgun fires explosive rounds and—after a short charging period—unleashes clusters of microgrenades that rebound off obstacles. The salarian Special Tasks Group designed the Venom for missions into hostile territory and extraction operations.

Notes[ | ]

The Venom can be purchased from the following merchants:

The singleplayer stats shown on this page are baseline: Initiative I armor, no skill points assigned, no profile active.

The following augmentations cannot be applied to the Venom during development:

It is advised not to apply the Electrical Conduits augmentation to the Venom due to an automatic firing problem. (See here for details.)

As the Venom already has an inherent feature that causes the projectiles to bounce before exploding, do not apply the Ricochet System augmentation to this weapon during development. This only wastes an augmentation slot.

The Venom will not function correctly with the Beam Emitter augmentation. Instead of a constant beam like all other weapons using this augmentation, the weapon shoots what appears to be a projectile.

Because there are only four shotgun mods in singleplayer, and the Venom cannot use a receiver mod, adding a Double Mod Extension is a waste of an augmentation slot.

The singleplayer uncrafted Venom will always drop a random augmentation on deconstruction. (See Augmentation Drops for odds of recovery).

The multiplayer stats shown are accurate as of Multiplayer Update - November 7, 2018.

All multiplayer specialized variant weapons are separate weapons compared to the Rare version.

Due to the different versions of the Venom in multiplayer, it is possible to equip multiple versions at the same time in the Loadout screen.
