EDK Techvolt

"'Unleashes a powerful electro-diffraction beam that coils and chains damage to enemies'""-In game description"The EDK Techvolt is a lock-on energy beam weapon featured in Fall Of Cybertron. It is the equipped weapon of the Decepticon Soundwave at the start of his mission.

Campaign
The EDK Techvolt is what you would call a 'Light' weapon. It feeds from blue ammo clips and boasts more ammo than the more powerful Heavy Weapons. It is a lock-on weapon, allowing some degree of inaccuracy.

With 150 damage a second, it is one of the more powerful weapons, yet it is locked in that specific damage setup. With a broad stream, the EDK is not viable for cleaning up large amounts of enemies.

Enemies killed by the EDK Techvolt have a unique death animation, being overcharged with energy before exploding.

Multiplayer
The EDK Techvolt is the third weapon of the Titan class, unlocked at level 5. It is a beam weapon that locks on to enemies.The beam has a set range and foot-speed is greatly reduced while firing. Even though it is an energy weapon, the EDK Techvolt still holds ammunition with 50 bolts in the magazine. A single trigger press fires one bolt and deals 15 damage. It deals a maximum of 150 damage per second and cannot headshot.

The Techvolt also has the unique property of arcing towards the target within the beam range which allows you to shoot the weapon around corners and over barriers and flak shields. The Infiltrator's Cloak ability will prevent this arcing effect though, and requires the player to aim directly at the target to deal damage.
