Developed by a group of underground [[Red Faction(Rebellion)|Red  Faction]] researchers and engineers, the [[Arc-Welder]] was designed for close-quarters combat.  By super-charging a standard [[Arc-Welder]], this weapons-grade welder can electrocute soft targets and disable vehicles and other electrical equipment. The electrical charge emitted from the weapon can travel along metallic surfaces and arc between surfaces and people, and is effective against multiple targets at the same time.
 
Recommendation: Acquire the "smart arc" upgrade as soon as possible after unlocking the weapon. The smart Arc allows the weapon to distinguish between friendly and hostile targets, essentially making the Arc Welder one of the most effective anti-personnel weapons in the game.
 
Fully upgraded, you can take on even large armor-equipped convoys on foot, simply by running up to vehicles and frying their drivers.
 
The Arc-Welder is exellent at disabling vehicles. You can even get your hands on rare, and powerful, vehicles if you get close enough.


==Properties==
Due to its ability to electrocute the occupants of vehicles, it is useful for disabling hard to destroy vehicles in missions such as [[Blitzkrieg]] and convoy [[Guerrilla Actions]].
