The Zalkin is an assault rifle in Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Description

The kett Zalkin rifle is a mainstay among kett forces. The semi-automatic weapon releases its plasma-surrounded projectiles in a three-round burst-a feature which earned the weapon its name, roughly translated as "three stars".

Features

Singleplayer Rank I uses Silicon for development while Ranks II-X use Beryllium.

The Zalkin previously had a charge-up feature, but was subsequently patched out.

As the weapon fires three shots, the total damage is noted to be thrice the displayed value in the Mass Effect: Andromeda APEX HQ app.
