The Quartakk is a 
Grineer quad-barreled heavy burst rifle that fires 4 bullets simultaneously in a single burst. Its slow fire rate is compensated by possessing very high burst damage, high accuracy and status chance, and good critical chance.

Trivia[]
- The name Quartakk may be derived from the Latin word Quartus, meaning "fourth," a reference to the weapon's four barrels.
- Prior to Update 22.9 (2018-01-17), the Quartakk functioned as a semi-automatic rifle that fired four bullets per shot. This caused the weapon's status chance to behave similarly to multi-pellet shotguns, in that the listed status chance was split between each bullet. After the update, the Quartakk was changed into a burst-fire rifle firing four bullets simultaneously, resulting in each bullet having the listed status chance instead of being split.
- Despite Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)'s changes to status multishot properly listing status per projectile, Quartakk is still labeled as a burst rifle.
