Is the Arc Thrower Worth It?

Has a Learning Curve to Use Effectively

Tier Rating B Tier B Tier

The Arc Thrower is not meant to be treated as if it were a rifle. Most players would make the mistake of using it as the would a normal gun. Due to the nature of its ammunition, it is a good choice for more covert killings behind cover. The lightning will not always shoot straight making it hard for beginners to get a handle of how to effectively use this weapon.

How to Unlock Arc Thrower
