Riot Breaker is a Weapon in Code Vein. Riot Breaker is categorized as a Bayonet Rifle weapon. Weapons can be found from Enemies and/or Bosses, acquired as a reward from completing quests, provided by NPCs, and are sold by Merchants.
A bayonet built from salvaged weapon parts and scrap materials.
Despite its rough appearance, its Gift trigger operates smoothly, sending out attacks in a clean spread. It is a preferred weapon among outlaws and those who flaunt their wealth often find themselves in its sights.
Where to find Riot Breaker
- Dried-up Trenches. From the Decayed Ship Interior Mistle, take the narrow bridge toward a cave with 2 snouted Executioner-type Lost. There's a Riot Breaker +3 in the chest they guard.
- Purchase from Rin Murasame for 3500 Haze after finding the one in the Dried-up Trenches.
Riot Breaker Notes and Tips
- The Physical Damage of the weapon is the Base Damage plus Scaling Damage. Scaling damage is based on your Character Level.
- STR and DEX scaling affect melee damage, while MND and WIL scalings affect ranged damage.
- This rifle's bullet pattern is unique and akin to a shotgun-blast.
- Full-damage is dealt so long as your target is hit. Despite the shotgun VFX, you do not need to be at point-blank for maximum damage.
- The charged-strong attack only deals 1.5x of the strong damage, making this rifle a further oddity. It is most ichor-effecient to use the strong attack, but also the most dangerous.
- However, due to it's spread and longer range, it's perfect for hitting a crowd of mobs packed together, and it's in fact better suited for doing so.
- It's the only bayonet rifle with a better STR scaling than the DEX one, and also one of the two only bayonets with a STR scaling at all (with the other one being the Burning Disaster).
Bullet Pattern
Strong
Short-ranged and quick shotgun-like blast. Consumes 1 ichor. Below image is edited for visual clarity.
Charged-Strong
Medium-ranged and quick shotgun-like blast. Consumes 2 ichor and deals 1.5x Strong damage. Below image is edited for visual clarity.
These shots can go through some walls, and can hit enemies regardless of the obstacle as long as they are in range.

Reminds me of my Stoeger Coach Gun I have at home. No matter how many video games I play, I can't resist the raw power of a good old-fashioned scattergun.

Not an oddity. The charged strong shot can hit a pack of mobs... great at stunning and damaging a group rushing you. 2 ichor at 1.5x damage on 3 enemies simultaneously... adds up and is totally worth it in my book..

Scaling is wrong. Has a B in Strength, C+ in Dex, C in Mind, C in WIllpower
This is probably the weirdest 'normal' rifle in the game in terms of how it functions.

Does spread shot like shotguns, useful for crowd control, found in one of the 2 early dungeons (forget which). Charged shot does a stronger spreadshot. Will available for purchase once you find the weapon in the wild.
Missed an opportunity to make this thing a point blank terror.
