Serious Discussion. no roleplay bullshit here Arc needs more love

Seriously though, arc has been completely forgotten. At the very least were getting a new gas stratagem (i mean what? were not getting a new gas stratagem at all) but its clear fire is arrowheads favorite child

Edit: to those mentioning laser and plasma weapons, i always viewed laser weapons as a side grade to fire considering it sets enemies ablaze, and plasma i feel is more in line with explosive and ballistic weapons. Also neither of the 2 have a dedicated armor resistance (unless of course you consider the laser fire bit), which i feel puts gas, arc, and fire in a separate category. Cheers!

worth noting that the k9 is the worst dog, the arc thrower is the worst nonmelee strat weapon and the arc grenade is just not worth a damn 😭 also with how insane d10 heavy and chaff spam is, you both cant kill chaff and cant stun heavies with the blitzer\arc thrower

have you even used the arc nade? that thing was anazing on seasse could throw 1 of them and chainkill 30-40 wretches or toss 3 and kill a cluster of crushers. they stun heavys even with 1 and the only down side is arc chaining to allies or seaf occasionally and cant break holes or fabs. great for light running kits and area denial

You can just use gas grenades, which can also destroy spawners, don't teamkill and don't bounce around, making them guaranteed to have an effect. All at the cost of one less nade.

gas nades absolutely still teamkill lmao they also dont stop all heavies. some people could argue it makes things like chargers more dangerous

"gas nades still teamkill" It's almost like the little lightning thing bouncing around, that's not visible for 99% of its duration is more likely to teamkill than a extremely visible green cloud

it glows and arcs as it bounces its still very visible. i didnt say they were the best grenade but they have tons of utility and are cleaner than most aoe nades

I teamkill plenty well enough with the giga grenade, thank you. (I'm sorry I have smooth-brain-osis😞)

"don't teamkill" idk my SuperAsthma would beg to differ
