The Ruzad is a shotgun in Mass Effect: Andromeda.
Description[]
A massive, slow-firing krogan shotgun, the Ruzad delivers a forceful blow that will stagger any enemy who survives. In krogan culture, Ruzad translates loosely as "judge." The krogan consider the name more obvious than humorous or ironic.
Features[]
The Ruzad is a straightforward weapon of its class without unique traits or features to its name. The large bayonet underneath its twin muzzles is purely cosmetic and therefore does not provide a damage bonus to melee attacks.
It is important to note that the Ruzad is outperformed by the Disciple shotgun in every single stat. Making matters worse is the fact that the Disciple automatically unlocks new tiers for crafting as Ryder levels up whereas the Ruzad needs to be researched first. This means that, personal taste in aesthetics notwithstanding, there is no gameplay reason to choose a Ruzad over a Disciple if the chosen combat style requires carrying a shotgun.
Squadmate Drack wields a Ruzad as his weapon of choice.
The multiplayer Ruzad has only one balance update: an increase in damage per pellet.
