CODEX

A shotgun amalgamized into a four-burst rifle. A true testament to the fall of the Grineer.

Trivia

Prior to Update 22.9 (2018-01-17), the Keles functioned as a semi-automatic rifle that fired four bullets per shot. This caused the weapon's status chance to behave similarly to multi-pellet shotguns, in that the listed status chance was split between each bullet. After the update, the Keles was changed into a burst-fire rifle firing four bullets simultaneously, resulting in each bullet having the listed status chance instead of being split.
- Despite Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)'s changes to status multishot properly listing status per projectile, Keles is still labeled as a burst rifle.
