The ARC-3 ARC THROWER： Testing the only ELECTRIC type weapon in Helldivers 2 (INSANE DAMAGE)

Today we're going to talk about the Arc 3

Arc Thrower, the lightning arc gun that

can chain together a deadly salvo of

lightning lashes on your enemies. And it's

probably one of the most underrated guns

in the game of Helldivers 2. I rarely see

anyone using this gun, and everyone's

using things like the railgun or the

grenade launcher when I think this gun

actually should be showing some love as

well. So this gun absolutely tears through

Automatons simply because they're robotic

in nature. And as you know, electricity

just destroys robotics and mechanical

things. And as with reality, this game

also lets you destroy robots with the

Lightning Lashes. So this gun also never

runs out of ammunition. I just spammed

lightning arcs at my enemies and you never

had to reload this gun. It never ran out

of ammunition. It just seems to keep on

going and going and going. And the damage

on this thing is absolutely insane. Just

check out this footage of me using the Arc

Thrower against one of the Automaton

tanks. I actually managed to damage it so

much that it set on fire just after a few

chains of lightning. Look at that, it's

already on fire just after a few chains of

lightning. And it tried to have revenge

against me but missed its main cannon

shot, hit a rock. And then I just took a

few more Arc Lashes onto its main turret

and it actually blew up. It did so much

damage. Look at this, it actually blew up

the tank just from 4 or 5 lashes. And then

I also blew up this Hulk flamethrower guy

pretty easily just with a few lashes of

lightning straight to his face. It's a

pretty devastating weapon, as most will

agree if they've used it before. One of

the coolest abilities and features of this

gun is the way it just chains together

lightning and it can bounce from enemy to

enemy. So if you've got a group of enemies

standing together you'll be more than

likely than not to hit the first enemy,

and then the chain lightning bounces and

just takes out 3 or 4 enemies if they're

all standing together. So you watch this

footage of me just spamming lightning on

this group of immobilized Automatons, and

the lightning is just bouncing from target

to target. I got 4 kills in one shot just

there. I got 7 kills just from arcing my

lightning and letting it chain from enemy

to enemy. So if you want to feel like

Emperor Palpatine with unlimited power.

You literally do have unlimited power

because you can see I'm just spamming

lightning and I'm never having to reload.

This thing never needs to reload. For some

reason it doesn't overheat, it doesn't

overblow or overcharge, and you never— you

can't even reload it. Pressing R doesn't

do anything. There's no such thing as

reloading this gun. It just keeps on

shooting as if it's got unlimited power.

So obviously it can one-shot the little

guys pretty easily, and it can even

several-shot kill some of the bigger guys

with armor. If they've got armor armor,

it doesn't matter. So this thing doesn't

technically have armor penetration, but it

does deal damage, sustained damage,

against even armored enemies, because it

doesn't matter how thick your armor is,

it's not going to be able to repel literal

electricity. So if you're a noob

and you don't know how to get the Arc 3

Arc Thrower, it's basically go to the ship

management, go to stratagems, and it's

right down here.

For some reason, they split these supply

weapons into 2 chunks, the top bit and the

bottom bit. So you got the Arc Thrower

with 3-second calling time, unlimited

uses, unlimited power, support weapon,

and Hellpod traits. I don't know what that

means. And you can see this from this

sample footage, it chains together and

destroys everything in one shot. Look at

that. Just zaps out energy. So we're gonna

go and do a Terminid mission because I

already did Automaton mission and I showed

you the devastating power of it. Now we'll

go to Terminids over here, go over there,

join a new— initiating FTL.

Allied destroyer has joined squadron.

So you want to go over to your

stratagemaries, choose the shield

generator and some air strikers and the

boostery. So the range of this gun isn't

super far. I don't think I can hit these.

No, I missed.

And when you aim this gun, you want to aim

it slightly above the enemy, not directly

on the enemy. So it's like this, watch.

See? And I can easily take out this little

group with chain lightning strikes. Look

at that chain lightning. Chain lightning.

Chain lightning. Chain lightning.

I killed 7! She said 7 kills and

against Chargers.

Um, I'm pretty sure it's doing something

because I can see little splodges.

So they can take down the Charger.

See, like that,

easy.

Watch this. See,

easy. Lost all of its

back armor. And against the Bile Titans,

unfortunately it doesn't

do a lot,

but you can always try.

Look, it zaps from this one to the Bile

Oh, I headshot it.

Wasn't even aiming at the head though.

Whoa, lightning zap!

Oh crap.

Democracy has landed.

Requesting air support. Watch this.

Oh, it didn't do anything. Haha. Point me

to the enemy. Usually it kills it.

Where's my Arc Thrower? Oh, it's over

Watch me destroy these guys. Oh, oh,

5 kills! Oops,

got 5 kills in a row though. Pretty good.

Allied destroyer has left the squadron.

Reporting to the front.

Against stalkers, it destroys them. Oh my

God, look at that, dead already. Oh, look

at this zap gun. I've already killed 7

things from 2 shots.

I don't know why my noob team can't

take down the bloody Titans. Have a

taste of democracy!

Whoa, whoa, 3 kills!

Oh, is it bleeding? Internal bleeding from

the lightning. Look at this,

it's actually zapping from the Wild Titan.

Sending in an eagle.

You never run out of ammo with this.

You had enough yet of the zapping?

Oh, I one-shot that! Oh, I one-shot that

one too! Look, this one's just given

up on life.

Zap, zap! I'm actually chain zapping

2 Bile Titans. Look at this! Oh, I just

blew his back off! You had

enough yet? It seems like it's stunning

it. It's moving very slowly.

Oh, I took it down!

Confirmed, you can kill the Bile Titans

with it.

I don't know if I'm hitting it.

Sending out an SOS.

Thank you.

Oh look, it's bleeding for another second.

Oh, I just blew its back off. Is it

going down? A few more hits.

It's like the electricity stuns it.

Oh, it went down. I think it took like 20

shots. Okay, who's next?

No one. That's what I thought.
