The Sicatt Workshop Volt Caster,[1] or Disruptor, is an electricity-based weapon utilized by the Banished during the Battle for Zeta Halo. [4][2]
Overview
Design details
The volt caster is a pistol of Jiralhanae design, created by the Sicatt Workshop and manufactured by the Armory of Reckoning. The weapon is designed to fire in a full automatic mode of fire, discharging a small active-dynamo munition capable of attaching to surfaces, including infantry and vehicles. Once attached, the bolts discharge a high-output current to their target, which are capable of incapacitating and immobilizing enemy targets. Should several individual bolts become attached to the same target in a close enough vicinity to one another, they are capable of detonating in a “supercombine” manner similar to that of needle-based weaponry—causing a large shock explosion capable of incapacitating infantry and disabling technology via an electromagnetic pulse.[1][3]
The top-mounted magazine of the disruptor holds ten bolts before needing to reload.[1]
Usage
The Disruptor was used by Banished forces on Zeta Halo during their long-term occupation of the ringworld. Banished forces typically find the weapon's main use in infiltration packs-with scout forces using them to disable enemy technology for long enough durations as to allow regular shock troops to overrun them.[1]
Variants
- Calcine Disruptor: A modified variant of the Disruptor that fires delayed detonation rounds, though with a decreased magazine capacity from 10 to 7.[5] Unlike the normal Disruptor, the Calcine variant can disable any vehicle in one shot. During the Battle for Zeta Halo, the Unggoy known as Bipbap carried a Calcine Disruptor.[2]

Gameplay
Halo Infinite
| “ | Short to mid range weapon that deals damage over time.[6] | ” |
The Disruptor is a fully-automatic pistol that deals shock damage like the Dynamo grenades and the Sicatt Workshop shock rifle. Although the individual rounds deal a little damage to a target, 3 shots to the same target initiates a DOT (damage over time) effect that drains shields first before draining health. The weapon is also capable of disabling vehicles after seven hits have been landed on a given target. In the campaign, the Disruptor is wielded by high ranking Unggoy, Kig-Yar, and used as a backup weapon for Jiralhanae Snipers. In multiplayer, the Disruptor is capable of killing an enemy Spartan in 6 shots.
