  Trachinus is the first of a new slug shotgun subfamily - rapid-frime frames. Unfortunately, the intrinsic is bugged and the ×0.8 reload animation scalar from an empty mag only seems to work on the first shell reloaded. It's also the new highest damage output subfamily for shotguns. There aren't really any peers to assess against, but the stats look good, and they're improved further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and mag perks are enhanced - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/2888021255 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. Base Magazine Size is 7 (max 8) and total ammo is 26. You can use the barrel perk to improve Handling and, at time of writing, Assault Mag is boosting RPM by +50 rather than the usual +5 - so have fun until someone deletes the errant "0". When that's corrected, a magazine perk that boosts mag size is probably the play. There aren't any reload options in the first trait perk column - although the Tenacity Origin Trait can max out Reload Speed after 14 kills - so Lead from Gold to generate 25% of your special ammo reserves when you pick up heavy bricks looks good. Alternatively, as you'll probably be in CQC while using it, Proximity Power stacks up ×3 times to provide +15 (+18 when enhanced) to your Melee attribute per stack on kills when another enemy's within 15m - a total a +45 (+54) for a refreshable 10s on further kills, so you can invest stat points into other armour attributes. For a second column damage perk, Binary Orbit provides a ×1.25 damage boost for 8.5s (10.5s enhanced) on any elemental kill of the opposite type. The Tenacity Origin trait stacks up to ×20 on kills, providing +2.5 Handling and Reload Speed and an extra 0.5% damage per stack (max +50 Handling and Reload, and ×1.1 damage boost) until you die. There's also Veist Stinger which seems bugged at the time of writing, but which will provide probably ~4% chance per hit to refill 25% of the magazine when fixed. If you're interested, Trachinus is the taxonomic genus for weever fish, a type of venomous marine fish with a distinctive dorsal spine capable of inflicting painful stings, and comes from the Ancient Greek word τρᾱχύς (trachýs), meaning "rough". Recommended MW: Handling, with your preferred choice of mod/enhanced mod to boost mag size, weapon stats, ammo regeneration, or elemental pickups for builds - and don't forget to check any available seasonal fragile mods.

In the second column, Chill Clip applies +60 stacks of slow per hit for 4s in the top half of the mag, so will freeze targets after 2 hits, synergising with Stasis builds and helping deal with Elites, Banes, Overload Champions, and Minibosses. The Tenacity Origin trait stacks up to ×20 on kills, providing +2.5 Handling and Reload Speed and an extra 0.5% damage per stack (max +50 Handling and Reload, and ×1.1 damage boost) until you die.

Rapid Hit looks good on paper to help with reload, but seems bugged and only procs on the first shell reloaded. For damage, at least while the Assault Mag bug is active, repeated crit hits with Precision Instrument grant escalating damage up to ×1.25 at 6 stacks (×1.3 when enhanced) for 1.25s or until you miss a crit. The Tenacity Origin trait stacks up to ×20 on kills, providing +2.5 Handling and Reload Speed and an extra 0.5% damage per stack (max +50 Handling and Reload, and ×1.1 damage boost) until you die.

  Trachinus is the first of a new slug shotgun subfamily - rapid-frime frames, which provides the usual deeper reserves and ×0.8 animation scalar when reloading from empty. It's also the new highest damage output subfamily for shotguns. There aren't really any peers to assess against, but the stats look good, and they're improved further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and mag perks are enhanced - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/2888021255 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance.

When that's corrected, a magazine perk that boosts mag size is probably the play. There aren't any reload options in the first trait perk column - although the Tenacity Origin Trait can max out Reload Speed after 14 kills - so for a melee build, Proximity Power stacks up ×3 times to provide +15 (+18 when enhanced) to your Melee attribute per stack on kills when another enemy is within 15m - a total a +45 (+54) for a refreshable 10s on further kills, so you can invest stat points into other armour attributes. For damage in the second column, Swashbuckler provides up to ×5 damage stacks on kills, up to ×1.33, with a melee kill giving 5 stacks, for a refreshable 4.5s (5s when enhanced). The Tenacity Origin trait stacks up to ×20 on kills, providing +2.5 Handling and Reload Speed and an extra 0.5% damage per stack (max +50 Handling and Reload, and ×1.1 damage boost) until you die.
