Although voltaic weapons utilize a variety of delivery systems, they share a commonality in discharging high-output electric current. The [[Sicatt Workshop Disruptor|volt caster]] fires small active dynamo munitions that attach to infantry and vehicles, where it can discharge high-output current to an attached target.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p477}} In contrast, the [[Sicatt Workshop shock rifle|volt piercer]] fires a burst of three [[Wikipedia:Electrolaser|electrolaser]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|CF}} When these projectiles are applied in great enough number and proximity, they can detonate to cause an extraordinary amount of heavy shock damage capable of shutting down vehicles or equipment, akin to the effects of an [[electromagnetic pulse]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p477}} Victims of the weapons—infantry or vehicles—are violently shocked and left rigid in the surging currents, leaving them immobilized and vulnerable to subsequent attacks.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p483}} | Although voltaic weapons utilize a variety of delivery systems, they share a commonality in discharging high-output electric current.

Beyond conventional weapons employed by the Banished, there was one notable instance of voltaic weapon developed and used uring the Battle for Zeta Halo, [[John-117]] incorporated voltaic technology to his [[Grappleshot]], allowing the grapple to electrocute its targets.{{Ref/Game|HINF|campaign|Detail=[[Equipment]] upgrade menu - [[Grappleshot]] - Voltaic}} | |||
