The Arc Fork is a melee weapon that deals electrical damage alongside its typical impact damage.
Appearance[]
It resembles a cattle prod or a Jacob's Ladder. Between the two prongs, a ripple of blue plasma with a bright glow is always visible.
Usage[]
When hitting an enemy, a bolt of electricity will flow through them, dealing additional damage. This bolt can strike multiple nearby enemies at a time, resulting in mass-damage without having to invest in larger weapon size (as one usually would to get comparable crowd-control abilities). The bolt also does not cost any extra energy compared to a regular swing.
Trivia[]
- The electrical arcing effect from this weapon can be triggered by both living and dead enemies.
- The electrical arcing attack of this weapon can be triggered even when the weapon isn't being held by the Player; newly dropped Arc Forks that come from slain enemies can shock enemies that walk over it, provided they step on the end. As such, not looting arc forks from the ground while fighting a mob of enemies may prove advantageous.
