In this segment of the video, the content creator discusses the exotic weapon “Kastav,” an auto rifle with a unique Ricochet bullet mechanic. The rifle has 43 shots in the magazine, shoots a bonus damage Ricochet bullet every seven rounds, and features the perk “Shoot to Loot” which boosts Ricochet shots when collecting orbs.
