 ====== Arc Pulser ======
-//The Arc Pulser is an exotic automatic weapon developed by BioTopia Projects Limited, employing proprietary Arc Tech to project specialized combat fluids at short to mid-range. Neither energy nor ballistic in classification, it discharges continuous streams of engineered substances — ranging from volatile pyrochemicals to reactive vapor compounds — in a format positioned between a sidearm and an autorifle. These fluids are designed to circumvent conventional defenses, flowing over terrain, around cover, and across armour surfaces while remaining difficult to evade at close distance. Though highly effective in controlling advancing threats, the system carries significant acquisition and operational costs due to required proprietary Arc fluid supply programs.//\\

-//“Okay, so technically I have the PyroBurst tier, the Electro-Surge add-on, the Seasonal Swarm Pack, and the premium VisceraMist bundle — but listen, diversification is important. Sure, the auto-debits are stacking and my credit score is described as ‘theoretical,’ but have you seen what the Arc Pulser does when you toggle between fluids mid-sweep? It’s art. It’s area control. It’s liquid self-expression. Debt is temporary — subscription dominance is forever.”//\\
