Primary Fire: Automatic Fire (Clip: 7 / Ammo Pool: 100)
Secondary Fire: Ion Burst (Clip: 3 / Ammo Pool: 100
Rounds per Minute: 280
Range: 3/5
First Acquired: Second Playthrough - Chesire 'No Way Out'
Used by: Hardfang
Other Info: Online Mode
The Arc Charger is a Chimeran weapon unlike
anything else in their arsenal. Instead of firing projectiles, it actually fires a particle beam which can be transfered through
objects.
The weapon itself is used by Hardfangs, who
are known for rushing their opponents. This is due to the Arc Charger's relatively short range. Taking them out first
should be a priority as they can cause vast amounts of damage in a short space of time.
The difference between the primary and secondary fire is to do with the beam's concentration. The secondary fire fires a
much more powerful blast, which can travel through objects, whereas the primary fire is much weaker, but has a much faster rate
of fire.
Obtained: The Arc Charger is acquired during the second playthrough in Chesire - "No Way Out". Just after the first checkpoint, you'll enter a large
room with Slipskulls in. At the end of this room, is the Arc Charger.
Tip: The Arc Charger is a specialists weapon and it can be exceedingly good against
both Leapers
and Rollers as the Ion Burst will
travel through them all.
