its so good that this guy can use heavy armor on bugs without any risk

I love that weapon on both fronts too. When things get hairy, I can be sloppy with my aim and still melt everything. It is a little frustrating sometimes with the misfires into the weeds and dead bodies but that's the price I think for how powerful it is. The other thing too is if you hit one enemy at the very edge of its range at 55 m it will chain even FURTHER and keep going and also kill enemies around the corners that are not in line of sight. Jump pack pairs nicely as well with DCS for sniper/shock trooper loadout. Get up high and rain down terror with lead and lightning. Now that we have the PLAS 15 Loyalist, I take that for gunships which was pretty frustrating before (I'd bring an autocannon sentry for anti air).

I love the Arc Blitzer and with the Guard Dog Rover, I personally believe it is the best clutch loadout to have in level 10 bugs. last time I used the arc thrower, I hated it. After seeing this, I might have to try it again.

You've heard of Emperor's flashlight, but are you ready for... Liberty's laser pointer?

What are are you wearing ?

Finally pro-arc propaganda

The Ac Dc pick along with Thunderstruck is top notch music selection

I often using las guard dog for extra cooking - it's like being one-man army, almost literally

Arc is so da..mn good,its just simple fun...Looks somrtimes,like a Spaceghostbuster. Dont cross the beams Soldiers😂

The weakness is visibility - poor visibility makes this weapon not viable on fog maps without radar

It's always a great day to see more joining the Arc diver core. Welcome brothers !!! I like running peak physique armor ( Heavy ) and jet pack with my Arc. melee the small bugs that get to close a focus the arc on the big ones

Im really trying to bring a zap build. Just need them to release an armor that lets me glow in ultraviolet and aggro all the bugs. What's the best stratagem for titan control? Railcannon seems like the cooldown is too slow for diff 10 titan spawn

With the Constitution now available, I like running it alongside the arc thrower. Cause frankly you don't need any other weapon, it's goated.

The arc thrower is amazing. I already loved the weapon. Even before Buffdivers. With the limited 35 M range. I still think it needs TWO more changes to make it as FUN as it can be: 1)The FIRST ARC you shoot SHOULD BE ACCURATE and not random. So you can aim down the weak points of the big/medium targets. It would add alot of skill expression to an already super fun weapon. Especially vs hulks! It is frustrating that it only randomly goes for the eye >.> 2)It should Jam the systems of the BIG boys AKA the Tanks,Chargers,Factory,Biles. After a number of shots depending on how big the unit is. It would shut them down entirely. The numbers can be tweaked imagine 1 shot to stop a charger's charge. 3 shots to stun it then 6 to kill it. (AS IT IS NOW) 2 shots to stop a behemoth's charge. 5 to stun it. 8 to kill it. 4 shots to stop a Titan for spewing. 8 shots to slow it. 12 to stun it. (Not very good but it would be Op otherwise it just offers more fun options and team work!) Play with those numbers for all units. That way it is not Insanely op and fills better the support role of stunning the big boys for your team mates to execute. Ps: One of my fav load outs even before the buffdivers for bugs was: ARC/MG3 Jetpack Eat IT 500 KG

Is the current buffed range longer than the original range from around the first few months of release before it got nerfed?

But how good is the primary arc shotgun compared to this?

It's so good on the bug front that I've been avoiding taking it unless I really need to so I don't over-rely on it like a crutch

Been using arc since day one.... im the Bug Bot Zapper

A good ark user is much less impactful then a bad ark user

it’s also really good for controlling(team killing) the crowd(your teammates) into killing(kicking)you

Nah its worse than the blitzer

Yep I got over 500 kills on the bot front in a ICBM match. Stun locks multiple hulks until my OPS lands on them or strafing run is good too, thermites are great while they’re stunned as well. Pairs well with jump pack as stated, but I also like the guard dog with it too. Any of the shotguns, lib-pen, eruptor, crossbow etc works well for your primary. Senator to finish off hulks while they’re stunned is the cherry on top

The arc thrower pairs well with the Blitzer. Bring a statement to deal with bile Titans and you walk through the bugs. I actually had to switch load outs because it got so trivial (on difficulty 7-8)

didn't know it stuns big targets again, that's all i needed to hear cause killing chargers prepatch was cheeks, thermite should one shot hulks too to speed up the cc train for them and chargers

It's fantastic now, but you gotta keep in mind and adjust for it's weirdness. Bad tracking through foliage or near some kinds of cover or through too many corpses can get you in trouble. It's a good trade-off for being able to solo a double-Hulk patrol and hold ground against a bug breach...WITH the jumppack buffs? We're backer more than we've ever been.

Whats the song on 4:46 ???

I don't know if I missed it in the video or if you didn't know, but the small terminids car now be completely destroyed with enough damage, which means less bodies on the battlefield which is an indirect buff to the Arc Thrower as the arc as less bodies to be stuck on.

Used this build last night on Martale, its a ton of fun! Only problem with bots is not being able to kill Gunships or Striders. Bringing a Rocket Sentry and 500k fixes that.

It didn't struggle in close combat, tip is just dont shoot only from hip. If enemy is getting too close - you use melee when your arc is fully charged. ( shot will spead sloser to surface) Btw after last changes the Arc thrower simply bullying automatons. Arc Gang everybody! Arc thrower supremacy!!! ⚡️

This was awesome! Thanks for making it! I found you from TuneGround. Subscribed to Bodkin!

AC/DC is super strict about their music use, it’s a great choice of music but I bet you will get a strike in a few days :/

Welcome to the Arc gang :-) The arc thrower is my favorite weapon in helldivers - always was. Now it is in its best shape ever. I have never used the jump pack, though - may need to try it. I think it pairs very well with a utility primary weapon (especially eruptor).

Spread the word!

I shit my pants while watching this bro

Damn ngl this is cool af

I wish the Blitzer got a similar buff on its range (and extra 5m-10m would have been perfect). It pairs with the Arc Thrower seamlessly, & just pack a Dagger or Guard Dog Rover if anything gets too close.

Aaaaaaaaand we're back!

Is this good against the automatons?

Have you tried a similar setup with a bloody thorn whip to proc bleed? I've been running it in PVE, and it's been working very well! 👍🏻

Elevating !

all praise the holy laslight

people are sleeping on energy weapons, i am married to my sickle

Let's see what a nade launcher gonna do when 4 chargers and a bile show up

Best weapon in the game another crucial thing this game needs is for there to be four more supply packs eight ammo pack in total with fire grenades, and 6 slots for more strategies instead of 4

Very stronk, however I find that gun ships on the bots side is its kryptonite, it literally is unable to deal with them at all

That's all I used since launch. I got to 150 probably in less than a week from the upscale of lvl lol no life

I'm using the dagger as a backup for exactly this

what filter are u using? that one looks cool

It is good for automaton. The only weakness is unable to shoot gunship

I’ll have to try the grenade launcher again but I just get so tempted to use the flamethrower every time I fight the bugs lol
