The Arc Emitter is a handheld weapon that can be crafted by an Engineer with the Lightning Wizard talent.

Description

The Arc Emitter is a short range Heavy weapon capable of producing electrical discharges similiar to the Electrical Discharge Coil. It's very effective at stunning groups of Creatures biting the hull from inside of the sub, and is just as effective while fighting outside.


It can be crafted by a Engineer with the Lightning_Wizard talent.

Function

The Arc Emitter is held with both hands and must be loaded with a Battery Cell or Fulgurium Battery Cell to be used. As with all weapons and tools, using it is done by holding the Right Mouse Right-click to take aim, then by Left Mouse Left-clicking to shoot/use.

It fires arcs of electricity inflicting small amounts of Burns and a high amount of Stun in a 30° electric arc spreading through nearby walls and between enemies, this makes it a fantastic support tool both inside and outside of the sub.

  • The user cannot be hit by the electric arc.
  • One has to be carefull when using the Arc Emitter when other crew members are nearby, as the electric arc can spread to them.
  • The Arc Emitter requires power to function, and desn't need any other type of ammunition, a single Battery Cell provides enough power for 4 shots, and a Fulgurium Battery Cell for 8 shots.
  • Due to the Scrap Cannons' size, it cannot be carried in the hotbar. It can only be held in both hands, or in the Gear slot, which hangs it from the character's back.
