The Quartz SMG, manufactured by Verified Offworld Laser Technologies (VOLT), features innovative weapon technology that emits a short-range beam which splits into multiple beams the longer the trigger is engaged. This design makes the Quartz highly effective in close-quarters combat, capable of devastating targets within a range of 10 to 20 meters. Although the maximum effective range extends to 50 meters, there is a significant drop in damage per second (DPS) as the distance from the target increases. Like all VOLT firearms, this SMG tends to overheat rapidly and is influenced by ambient temperature; thus, in hotter conditions, it overheats more quickly, while in colder environments, it can maintain fire for a longer duration before overheating.
