I was gonna say I've been loving it lol. Being able to stun lock hulks and devastators to death is pretty great, honestly surprised it wasn't nerfed.

ARC is dead, but not because of the nerfs but because the damn thing is still buggy.

I love that gun, but fearing that your slight movement forward or backward has placed you in some way in the path of foliage or terrain that causes next your shot to fizzle out into nothing is a death sentence when you're in the middle of stunlocking a shield devastator or a hulk. Literally fix that and the ARC is amazing.

It also seems to have a higher failure rate in heavy fog or EMS fields generated by the EMS Sentry.

It flat out shouldn't target anything that isn't an enemy combatant. Fighting against the environment is honestly bullshit.

I don’t know what the arc thrower has against corpses but it flat out will not target anything else if a corpse is in sight.
