Arc Thrower

A massive, two-handed Arc projector that expels a pressurised sheet of combat fluids in a wide, violent fan across short to medium distances. The weapon can discharge anything from corrosive acids and burning petrochemicals to electrified water, scalding steam, or engineered swarms of weaponised insects, saturating an area rather than striking a single point. True to Arc doctrine, each burst forms an almost inescapable moving wall of projectiles that splashes, lingers, and overwhelms anything in its path, but the Thrower extends this effect farther and with greater destructive intensity than any other Arc system. A brutal, close-to-mid range reaction weapon — heavy, unwieldy, and devastatingly effective at drowning space in controlled, weaponised chaos.


“They switched it to bees… they switched it to bees!
Get your visor down, get your visor down… they’re in my suit, they’re everywhere!
I can’t see, I can’t breathe, I can’t… gods, they’re stinging through the armour!
Why'd they have to have an Arc Thrower!
I hate bees! NOT THE BEES…!”
