the arc copes well, even if a friend accidentally got into the chain, then there is a chance that he will be stunned and not killed, even if he does not have armor to protect against arc damage (I am the test subject😅)
Regarding the 500 on tanks; yes I've had the exact same problem recently. I've had the shell of the 500 land directly on shredder tanks, and they lived. I now use the strafing run or thermite instead, found them to be more reliable.
hey big guy i hope you know that you're a big inspiration to me and i try all the loadouts you try and youre so cool. sorry ive had a few drinks but i just wanna let you know that you're an s tier youtube channel and never stop because you're awesome
Just so you know Takibo, for the single gunship facilities, you can drop the hellbomb next to the wall on the back and it till still kill them. No need to run around the front and waste time. Also yes, they did increase the tank's armor. :)
I would say it’s a patrol deleter. Cause some times the maps have patrol funnels you have to fight through until they stop spawning that direction. Slept on
People’s recent complaints about the arc thrower is stupid, if your weapon doesn’t delete tanky enemies in 1-3 shots then it’s “garbage” people want the exact same type of weapon for each support weapon. If people got what they wanted, you’d have a support weapon that has infinite ammo, chains to multiple enemies and has a stun that builds upon multiple enemies as well and you can keep them stunlocked, can be shot from a fairly far range, and on occasion can auto target weak spots. And now you want the weapon to deal out enough damage to take out larger enemies in like 3-4 shots? It’s ridiculous that people think this way
I am using it against bugs alongside a supply pack and AT. Stun several chargers in one go, throw a termite at each and everyone of them and keep zapping the chaff waiting for the fireworks. Repeat. If an Impaler or BT shows up, all you gotta do is shoot an AT to their face is enough to do the job and all the while zapping the chaff without impunity. It works amazing if you understand its weaknesses just like you said it
I dissagree with you. All support weapons has limited use case, but it should be good in this use case. I can't come up with a situation when arc is better then others support weapons. The crossbow is literally better in everything. And it's a primary! Arc's only advantage is infinite ammo
@@Pettree_Grassflower recoiless isn’t dealing with hordes, and isn’t stunning enemies with no reloads or ammo worries, neither is the EAT, or the quasar minus the ammo which you still have to let recharge, neither is the railgun, or the spear etc. the stalwart, hmg, flamethrower excell in crowd clear, but the mg’s have high recoil, low ammo count at a high ROF, flame thrower requires continual damage over time and has limited ammo. None of these weapons listed have the stun effect either, which is a primary incentive of the arc thrower which you can’t deny is extremely useful. My point isn’t that the arc thrower is better than all of these weapons, my point is a counterpoint to you saying “the arc isn’t better than any other support weapon” they each have their flaws including the arc thrower, but the difference is the majority of the hd2 community are braindead and that if your weapon isn’t 1 shotting a charger then it belongs in the dumpster.
I run the arc thrower with an Eruptor with the Circuit Expansion upgrade this build is slept on guaranteed because I run through any enemy being bugs or tin cans I can close hive holes and destroy Automaton refinery with the Eruptor and I can easily crowd control everybody else with my arc thrower
First of all, new subscriber and loving the vids. I saw the space marine videos as well which I’m just getting into as well. Would love to see a collab between the two.

Have you tried Servo Assisted armor since the latest patch? Makes you feel less squishy, and I'd love to see how it plays on solo, since I don't normally play solo and love watching someone good test out stuff lol.

Imo all the arc weapons have a severe problem with aiming. You can aim directly on an enemy and it just misses, despite standing directly in front of them.. but when they hit, its good. And yeah the 500 kg for some reason doesnt really kill tanks anymore..
Ahoy legend so notice u still not using first person with Arc, but by use first person it actually hit quite well upfront 3person regarding precise aiming and ofc dive+shoot with arc as it somehow it hits extremely well when u diving. And would go with balistic shield+cross+arc so u can engage in laser fight without too much worrying about u dieing or not.
I use the recoiless rifle for the bots because it one shots hulks and gun ships and for my primary I use the plasma punisher and the verdict for my secondary
can anyone help me, why is my arc thrower not auto charging after first charge? I have to manually left click every time i wanna fire it. I thought they changed to auto fire?
The arc thrower its a weapon for players that are not confident on their game? lol? The weapon with zero consistency, that you can’t aim and shoots everywhere except where you want it? 😂 The weapon has a mind of its own and it’s not agreeing with whoever is shooting it dude Besides, if anything weapons that players not confident on their play style or ability will choose are those that are meta, no?
No, you might not know how to use it properly. Neither does the guy in the video he's charging it longer than he needs to. It's has unlimited ammo, arc to multiple enemies and kills hulks in 6-8 shots. It pairs perfectly with the Crossbow or Eruptor

arc thrower looks more of a support weapon for automatons, its good for stun and crowd control, but in terms of damage, the recoilless/spear/railgun and so on are still superior
Multiple things: 1: Rocket Pods are great, they can one shot Hulks and Tanks, and even be used to take down Fabricators. 2: No, the arc thrower is not disappointing against heavier enemies, there is no reason to expect th arc thrower to 1 or 2 shot them. 3: It would be stupidly OP if it could one shot. It's an ARC thrower, it can hit and stun up to like 4 enemies at a time, and add its long range on top of that, and you can snipe bots from quite the distance. 4: No, us console players do not have trouble aiming, I'm tired of you PC players saying that, people use the arc thrower because it's really good, not because of their aim. 5: The arc thrower absolutely does work on shielded devastators, I have never had a problem stunning them and killing them with ease. Your game must have just been buggy.
When you have railgun, AMR and AC that can delete hulks in a few shots the arc thrower isn't as good on higher difficulties when you have so many hulks. Id rather use it against bugs imo@@maxdrags3115
Bushes also block shots from regular guns, so that's not really an argument. And no, heavy enemies do not take too long to kill, unlike other weapons, yoy can stun them till they die, and they can't do anything, that doesn't happen with other weapons.

Crossbow surprisingly somewhat useable against gunships. That being said nothing beats railgun blowing gunships out of the sky.
