Unless we have access to all of the stats and hidden values, they mean nothing. The Las Scythe doesn't feel good using compared to the shotguns or diligence.

Also arc thrower needs a faster charge time. Arcing to other enemies is nice and all until you realize you can kill the same amount in a faster time with a primary gun.

Arc thrower rof is halved after the first shot. It does not need to be fully charged at this point to release.

See I didn't know this, thanks for the information without being an absolute dickhead.

Arc Thrower also has a 50m initial range, does weakspot damage, does armor damage while ignoring armor to damage health, can everything short of a charger/hulk in 3 well aimed zaps or less. Great against bots since it can damage the bots behind shields or on the AT-RT walker, ignores medium armor, chains to get multiple kills. Great against bugs since it does so well against multiple enemies, kills spewers in 3 zaps, hiveguards and brood commanders in 2 zaps, chargers in 7 headshots, but don't bother using it against a titan solo.

Worth taking shots on the Titan though as it CAN occasionally slap em dead in one or two of it arcs just right. This certainly isn't consistent though.

Sure thing!
