Cuelebre Shotgun

Cuélebre is a Military M870 with five shells and a sandstone skin, and Perfect Jazz Hands gives it a large reload speed bonus. That bonus replaces what a magazine or underbarrel mod would normally provide, which frees those mod slots for stability or rate of fire. Heavily armoured enemies such as Tanks still need several magazines, so the gun works best in short bursts between cover.

Cuélebre always carries Perfect Jazz Hands; the talent is not rolled, it is built into the named item.

• Attribute rolls at 90% or higher of the possible maximum are what 'High Stats (90%+)' stands for.
• 'Upgrade to Prototype' is the step beyond High-End: a Prototype weapon carries an Augment and is final in terms of recalibration.
• Extras holds a single choice, 'Self-play (Sherpa)', for taking part in the run yourself.
• Quantity covers 1 to 10 copies of the weapon in a single order.

• Level 40 on the Agent that is going to receive the weapon.
• The 'Upgrade to Prototype' option needs the shotgun at level 40 and at maximum Expertise (level 30).

What does the name refer to?

A cuélebre is a winged serpent from Asturian and Cantabrian folklore.

Why does reload speed matter so much here?

The M870 holds only five shells. A faster reload shortens the gap between volleys, which is where most of the gun's downtime comes from.

How is Cuélebre found in the game?

Look for it among enemy drops, vendor stock and weapon chests, or farm an activity whose targeted loot is shotguns.
