The Pozhar x-MOD2 is the Iconic variant of the Techtronika VST-37 Pozhar. It is a heavy shotgun rebuilt with two guaranteed mod slots and better handling. Like Judy's Mox, it fires its pellets in an even, predictable pattern instead of a random scatter. More of each blast lands where V aims. It is a close-range shotgun for a Body build that wants a reliable spread and room for mods. Finding it is a small puzzle. It sits behind a door at the top of a crane in Dogtown, and the door only opens late at night. The Pozhar x-MOD2 is a Phantom Liberty find near Elizabeth Kress Street in the Longshore Stacks, Dogtown. It can be reached after 1 AM in-game.
Combat
The Pozhar x-MOD2 is a Power shotgun. Its even pellet pattern makes the damage of each shot predictable. A blast to the head or chest lands most of its pellets. Like any shotgun, it still works best within a few metres.
The x-MOD2 handling bonus helps it steady between shots. Its two mod slots let V customise it with the weapon mods found along the way. It is at its best when clearing a crowded room. Each blast lands its full pattern on the closest target, and quick follow-up shots finish the job.

Character Builds
Shotguns use the Body tree. Like A Feather removes the movement penalty for shotguns, so V can keep moving between blasts. Bullet Ballet cuts spread while moving. Die! Die! Die! adds crit chance at low Stamina and raises fire rate as Stamina drops. Close-Quarters Carnage and Spontaneous Obliteration add the chance to Obliterate enemies at close range. They also add extra damage against nearby targets. With Rip And Tear, shotgun blasts and quick melee attacks each boost the damage of the other.
For cyberware, Clutch Padding lowers the Stamina cost of shooting. Pellets can ricochet too, and the Ballistic Coprocessor raises both the chance and the damage of those bounces. Kerenzikov lets V fire while sliding or dodging, with time slowed for a moment. It helps V cover the last few metres to a target.

Lore
The x-MOD2 weapons of Phantom Liberty are hidden in odd corners of Dogtown. Each one is a familiar weapon rebuilt for extra modification, with an optimised design that improves handling. Several of them are hidden behind small secrets.
This one waits in a hidden room high up in a derelict building near Kress Street. The door stays locked until late at night. The way up goes over a crane and a pair of concrete slabs hanging in the air. Behind the door is a secret late-night party, and the shotgun is inside. The building is in the Longshore Stacks, the container-built neighbourhood at the western edge of Dogtown.
Notes
- The Pozhar x-MOD2 is the Iconic variant of the Techtronika VST-37 Pozhar.
