Overview
Based on the XM1014, BALROG-XI is an auto shotgun that is developed by Aegis Laboratory. The much-touted Balrog Charging System will generate an incendiary round for each four shells shot in quick succession, with a maximum of seven incendiary shells which can be used as secondary fire.

Trivia
- A new muzzle flash was created for this weapon.
- When an explosive shell is charged, it uses the BALROG-IX's charging sound effect.
- Its secondary fire mode is similar to the Black Dragon Cannon's primary shot, except that BALROG-XI has a longer range albeit smaller area spread.
- This is the second BALROG weapon in which the Balrog Charging System is activated manually after BALROG-I.
- The word "BALROG XI" can be seen on the shotgun's receiver when reloading or drawing.
- The word "BCS System" is printed on the buttstock, however it's hard to see in normal circumstances.
- When shooting the explosive shot, a different shotgun shell model is ejected.
- Unlike the original XM1014, BALROG-XI has a 'muzzle brake' for emitting Balrog Charging System at the end of the barrel and an additional unused railing system on top of the barrel.
