The NCM1 Scattercannon is a MAX Anti-Infantry arm available to the New Conglomerate. The left arm is unlocked by default, and the right arm is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The NCM1 Scattercannon is the jack-of-all-trades option for the New Conglomerate's MAX. Though it may not have the ranged potential of the AF-34 Mattock, the large magazine capacity of the AF-23 Grinder, or the raw damage-per-second of the AF-41 Hacksaw, the Scattercannon brings a mix of a relatively tight pellet spread and the highest per-shot damage available on the anti-infantry market.
