Graal Spike Thrower is one of the most accurate and powerful shotguns in the game. Sometimes it is even hard to believe that it can be that accurate. There are assault rifles that cause far less damage and are not even closely as accurate as this shotgun. However, it is pretty heavy which means – you will have to deal with its heavy recoil. But, there are only three rounds in the clip which won’t make that big of deal. After all, this is a shotgun and not a sniper rifle (but with that accuracy it could have been one). Its ammunition consists of oversized flechettes meant to pierce thresher hide and create deep wound channels leading to massive blood loss. Also, its shots can be charged to cause more damage (double damage, to be exact). This little trick can really help you out because Graal Spike Thrower ignores armor damage reduction and with the double power there is no way someone will be able to survive the battle. The good thing about charging the shotgun is that you can do other things at the moment and they won’t break the charging process (sprint, roll, dodge, melee or use your abilities). If you are playing as a Vanguard, you should consider this shotgun to be your weapon of choice. The only bad thing about this gun is that it shoots really slow and there is a great delay between you pressing the fire button and the projectile hitting the target. But, you can deal with it after some practice.

The Graal Spike Thrower can be found during the mission Priority: Tuchanka, against the safety rail when the Tomkahs are stopped by the break in the road. It is also purchasable from Cipritine Armory post-mission if it was missed.

- In contrast with other conventional shotguns, the Graal ignores armor damage reduction, making it considerably more effective against armored opponents especially at higher difficulties.
- The Graal is highly accurate, even without the Shotgun Smart Choke mod. However, using the Shotgun Smart Choke, allows the Graal to be effectively used even at long range.
- The Graal does not gain any benefit from powers or Weapon Mods that increase cover piercing due to the nature of its projectiles, such as Armor-Piercing Ammo or from the Shotgun Shredder Mod.
- Despite its description suggesting otherwise, the Graal deals 100% of its damage up front, with no Damage Over Time (DoT).
- Due to the long-range nature of the flechettes, squadmates using the Graal will keep their distance from the enemy instead of closing in as they would with other shotguns.
