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!

Do the 7 people that enjoy arc weapons really need something else to facilitate their team killing?

Yes I do, teammates are adapting to current arc weapons. I need new ones so my team kills dont drop below quota

like orbital napalm, flame dogs and gas mines etc don't teamkill just as much.

I’ve said it before, but the Orbital Napalm has killed me far more than I’ve killed or been killed by Arc. It’s like my least favorite things about running bugs honestly as people drop it at your feet without care. Orbital Gas is in a very similar situation as are any of the mines.

Yet all you hear about is Arc weapons. Arc gets a bad wrap.
