"Stubby" Voltaic SMG

"So what's better than an SMG? An SMG that fires ELECTRIC BULLETS! The boys in R&D have wired a prototype ArcGen into the guts of this trusty Subata 312, meaning it now unleashes a storm of electrified DEATH! Word of warning: Keep away from water."

- Item Description

The "Stubby" Voltaic SMG is the Engineer's alternate primary weapon. Fitting to its nickname, it is a short and stout submachine gun which has had an electrical generator wired into its firing mechanisms. A node on the side of the gun lights up and powers down whenever there is a magazine inserted into or removed from the gun, respectively. For some reason, the Engineer never makes use of the massive foregrip on the weapon, despite the fact it would help to dampen recoil.

As the gun's name suggest, it comes equiped with electrical features; by default every shot fired has a 20% chance to electrocute the target, damaging them over time while also slowing their movement.

Conductive Bullets
Conductive Bullets allows the weapon to deal an additional +30% Electrical damage to enemies that are under an electrical field. Electric damage does not benefit from this bonus.

Electric Arc
Electric Arc causes each bullet fired out of the Stubby to have a chance to proc an Area of Effect lightning attack. If the bullet either procs a new Electrocute DoT on an enemy, or refreshes an existing Electrocute DoT, then there's a 25% chance that Electric Arc's AoE will proc too. For example: if the listed Electrocution chance is 20%, then Electric Arc has a 20% * 25% = 5% chance to proc. Upon activation, Electric Arc will inflict a standard Electrocute DoT on any creature within a 2.75m radius of the primary target's center of mass.

Turret Arc
Turret Arc is an Unstable Overclock that electrically charges a sentry whenever it is hit by a bullet that would normally electrocute a creature. Charged sentries electrocute anything in a small area around it, damaging and slowing it. If 2 or more sentries within a 15 meters radius are charged, they will also create an electric arc between each other, applying the same damage to anything caught in between them and slow effect to creatures.

Trivia

 * The weapon's main body - the Subata 312 - is likely produced by the same firearms manufacturer who made the Subata 120, the Driller's pistol.
 * The weapon's electric damage does not actually affect the amount of damage taken by electrocuted enemies.
