Makin' my way downtown with our second favourite quarian weapon and I noticed that a charged up shot, with heavy barrel, is capable of one shotting (head) nemesis' on gold. 

Arc pistol ignoring shieldgate on enemies? 

[LemurFromTheId]

It doesn't really ignore anything, but it fires three shots at once when charged.

[DoomsdayDeuce2]

I may be wrong. but I believe that a charged shot from the arc pistol fires like a shotgun..

[TMB903]

It fires 3 "pellets" when charged and a single bullet when not charged.

[Felix_Teh_Kat]

ah hah thanks for clearing that up

Just a great great weapon. I'm only decent with it with a stasis sniper but playing with guys that know how to use it on the run is a pleasure.

I absolutely love the Arc Pistol

put the power magnifier, heavy barrel, and an AP/drill ammo on it and give it to an engineer.

It's always the go-to gun for my QME

It's the hipster weapon that's actually worth using.

It's been my best gun since coming back after a break. I've had my highest scoring rounds with it by far, so brutal. Once you get that 1 second charge timing on a snap, even better. For me has the best mix of accuracy/dmg/ammo application, it doesn't shine in the raw numbers so much as the balance.

Only problem I've had with it is switching to an Acolyte build and finding my charge timing completely off.

For me it outclasses the Talon by a mile, I just can't justify the bullet grouping on the Talon for U/U mode. I plain don't want it on Hydra/Vancouver/Rio.

Only time I'd switch Talon is on a meaty Vanguard, but I'd still miss the Arc pistol when stuck behind cover on a hack.

Best gun effer

Cabal with Arc Pistol can 1hsko all cerberus units on gold.

Nemesis?

IIRC an Arc Pistol with Phasic can OHK a Gold Phantom, nevermind a Nemesis...

The Arc Pistol. The only gun in the game that makes me wish I was a good shot. Seeing what it does when wielded by one who is, is both wonderful and a little depressing at the same time.

Fully charged it fires 3 shots with triple damage each at once. That's how it bypasses the shield gate.

I had absolutely no idea about this before reading this thread. I've always noticed that a charged shot consumes several rounds but never gave it any consideration.

What happened between may and today?

Last time I was here, everyone hated the Venom, the Eagle and the Arc Pistol.

Did something happened to the Crusader as well?

I've always loved the venom, arc pistol and crusader.

Take a look at the thread linked in Max Dmian's signature, he explains the numbers. His video is also good, though there's too much lolconsolecontrols and lolautoaim for my taste.

@kouzrah So what you're saying is, you liked them before they were cool? Sirian's rubbing off on you.

I love running the QME with Arc Pistol and Power Mag/HB.

[thenextportnoy]

Recently tried this in my HE and it really amped up my killing power.

The Arc Pistol has gotten a whole bunch of buffs over the course of the game... The most notable was the final one, where the damage multiplier for charged shots was increased from 2 to 3.

Since charged shots fire 3 pellets, that's a whopping 9x damage, turning the Arc Pistol into a lightweight, multishot, shieldgate-bypassing, freaking Mantis. It's a pocket sniper rifle.

The Eagle has also gotten many buffs, more people have it at higher levels, and we got the Pistol Heavy Barrel. The Eagle hasn't got the most amazing DPS, but given its very light weight and decent accuracy it's pretty reasonable and makes a good caster weapon or sidearm when you want longer range than a Hurricane can give. It's a much better assault rifle than most of the Assault Rifles...

IIRC, you don't even need Phasics, or any ammo at all.  I think the 40% damage barrel or the headshot barrel with a Pistol Rail Amp is enough.  Might not even need the rail amp, especially with a Turian.

EDIT:  The Arc Pistol seems to work a little weird for me off host sometimes.  I'll headshot an enemy and it will do no damage.  And I know I hit the enemy, because it will actually stagger, but it takes no damage.  Happens most often with Geth, especially Pyros.  Has this happened to anyone else?

Thank you, it's just strange to see this trend now. (I'm still curious about Venom)
In one year maybe some people will praise the collector assault rifle...
