The Volt is a Pilot energy submachine gun featured in Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends, returning in Titanfall III as a personal defense weapon. It is a weapon that fires concentrated bolts of high energy and it has lower recoil than other SMGs, PDWs and even assault rifles.[1] The Volt is often utilized by Stalkers and Spectres.
Overview[]
The Volt is an energy personal defense weapon with unusually low recoil and high accuracy. It functions as both an assault rifle and a fully-automatic DMR due to good hip-fire accuracy, low recoil and high accuracy overall. The long-range capability of the Volt PDW is offset by a damage dropoff from all energy weapons.
Pros and cons[]
- Pros
- Hipfire accuracy is unusually precise, allowing consistent hits at range.
- Low recoil, even compared to assault rifles.
- Fast bullet velocity, as usual with other energy weapons.
- Can equip a sniper scope and use it effectively, as usual with other weapons.
- Cons
- Small damage drop-off offsets the long-range capabilities of the weapon.
- One-shot kill spots are nonexistent due to low damage per-shot.
- Projectiles are visible by its blue tracers.
Trivia[]
- In the campaign mission The Strategic Way, the Volt, dropped from enemies are commonly equipped with a sniper scope.
- This implies that Volt PDW functions as a fully-automatic sniper rifle.
- The designation for the Volt has been changed from SMG to PDW. This is because of its low recoil, high accuracy even compared to assault rifles.
