Arc Charger

Resistance: Fall of Man

Hi-Tech

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.
