How to get it
Unlocked in the shop by maxing the S&W M29: ₦30,000. No clear needed: on a first run it is possible from 3-3 (or 4-1, depending on the source).
Verdict
The ultimate boss killer, but fresh from the shop it hits weaker than a maxed M29: put ₦20,000 into firepower before you switch.
Shop: ₦26,000 of upgrades at 3-3, one firepower step per chapter after that, and Firepower 5,000 (₦15,000) at 6-2.
- After 6 firepower steps (3,300, ₦20,000) it passes a maxed M29 (3,200). Until then, stay on the M29.
- It kills helmeted Majini through the helmet and knocks down a Duvalia's armoured legs.
- Uroboros Aheri: each minor core has 10,000 HP, about two shots from an upgraded M500.
- Heavy recoil. Reloading by combining the ammo in the inventory skips the animation.
