====== Arc Pistol ====== //The Arc Pistol is a specialised, one-handed sidearm built around BioTopia Projects’ proprietary Arc combat-fluid projection system. It operates at extremely short range, releasing a concentrated, high-pressure stream that splashes across multiple targets, surfaces, and pieces of cover rather than striking a single point. The weapon is lightweight and easy to handle, making it an effective close-quarters assault tool for disrupting groups of enemies and breaching armour, cover or terrain. In practice, its modular fluid feed can even accommodate exotic payloads — including live clone piranha — for users willing to accept the additional cost and complexity.//\\ ---- //"BioTopia Ar Access Package: YOUR PISTOL IS FREE — YOUR LOYALTY ISN’T.

Choose from a dazzling catalogue of premium combat fluids — flammable petrochemicals for that warm, nostalgic burn; self-energising electro-fluids for crowd control with personality; acidic mists for creative problem-solving; or our limited-run, short-lived gene-cats that lovingly scratch out your enemies’ eyes on contact. Remember: with BioTopia, you’re not just buying ammunition — you’re joining a living, breathing, monetised biome."// |< 100% 22% 22% 12% 22% 22% >| ^Arc Pistol^^^^^ ^ [BioTopia Projects Limited] - //Tested on the dead, for the living!// ||||| ^[[Game_Mechanics:Definitions:Archetype]]| [Weapon] | ^[[Game_Mechanics:Definitions:Subtype]]| [Exotic] | ^[[Game_Mechanics:Definitions:Skill]]| [Coordination] | ^[[Game_Mechanics:Definitions:Mastery]]| [Light Arms] | ^[[Game_Mechanics:Definitions:Value]]| 2,000 | ^[[Game_Mechanics:Definitions:Upkeep]]| 50c | ^ [[:Game_Mechanics:Definitions:Requirement]] ^ [[:Game_Mechanics:Definitions:Damage]] ^ [[Game_Mechanics:Definitions:Range]] ^ [[Game_Mechanics:Definitions:Ammo]] ^ [[Game_Mechanics:Definitions:Hardpoints]] ^ | [[:Stats#Brawn]]: 3 | D4 | 1 -
