hey y'all you heard of this totally cool and not at all lame gun

lJfKo.png

whoa look at it

it looks so futuristic
An innovation of Admiral Daro'Xen, the Arc Pistol is a scaled-down Arc Projector that only requires thermal clips, to solve its power problems. The Arc Pistol uses a nonvisible laser to ionize the air and create a path for a high-ampere electric shock. For a more damaging blast, it can be charged up.

whoa look at that!! no gun can be bad with those stats
The Arc Pistol carries a large amount of ammunition given its potential power, but that is because charged shots consume up to 3 rounds at a time.
The Arc Pistol is very versatile; it can be used like a semi-automatic weapon boasting the same rate of fire as the M-3 Predator. When used as a charged weapon, it is just as powerful as some of the more powerful weapons like the M-6 Carnifex, or the M-77 Paladin.

what??? man i am so ON this gun y'all and i think we should all use it all of the time on multiplayer together so check out this totally cool spreadsheet of arc pistol lovers who will shoot arc pistols with you in multiplayer

speed racer's mom is playing through this series or something i don't know she doesn't have an arc pistol so i don't care

and i guess jordyn has a site too wake me when it's an arc pistol fan site

    I made a bunch of my characters into avengers

    Iron Man is a Human Sentinel, Cap is a Human Soldier, Thor is a Human Vanguard, Black Widow is a Human Engineer, Hawkeye is a Human Infiltrator, and Hulk is a Krogan Battlemaster

    I also made Loki a Drell Adept

    Wait so is the arc pistol actually good? I have the rank 2 but I never use it.

    I also have the scorpion 1 which I think I tried but didn't like. Like I was saying in the last thread, the Talon and the Carnifex are basically the only HPs I use.

    Count yourself lucky, it's a huge pile of suck.

    Even w/ it at X I feel like I'm tickling things on Silver w/ a fully charged shot.

    Even the Paladin w/ it's tiny ass clip and huge-ass weight is a better overall pistol.

    No matter where you go...there you are.

    In a good way though, I love making guys go flying to the other end of the map.

    Sadly it is terrible at anything mid-long range. Too hard to compensate for charge time and projectile flight, everything dodges it.

    I tried out the arc pistol the other night. Not the greatest gun that's for sure...

    Also, how do I get my name on that spreadsheet?

    It's a Google doc, bro. You can add yourself.

    Also, sorry for ditching the party, but I was getting a constant buzzing and hissing from your mic and it started giving me a headache.

    Well, I assume it was from your mic. I guess it's also possible that you are a large lizard and were eating flies.

    Unfortunately, we will not be able to push balance changes today. We will try to get them out as soon as possible.

    But as a short preview of the planned changes, I can say we will be buffing a few powers including Shockwave, Lift Grenade, Marksman, and Adrenaline Rush.

    You guys. Shockwave.

    Miranda just died in my Renegade playthrough since
    I wouldn't give her access to Alliance resources.

    I didn't feel bad about it afterwards either. She couldn't be bothered to tell me what she needed resources I'm throwing at the Reapers for? Okay then, nope. That's on you.

    Mordin, on the other hand... not even my renegade can handle killing him.

    you should probably throw more of that post in spoilers

    What's with the irrational hate for Miranda? I mean, I didn't think she was an especially interesting character or anything, but it seems like everyone here despises her.

    My opinion towards her was also biased because I love the show Chuck, but still.

    Three of which were in dire need of buffs and lift grenade is a welcome bonus. Perhaps the Soldier class as a whole might not be total garbage soon.

    I didn't hate her, it's just that I saw the end of what I posted above as
    her getting what she deserved for not trusting Shepard with vital information that could have saved a shitload of lives.
