The Arc Thrower in Helldivers 2 often flies under the radar, but a recent discovery has breathed new life into this electrifying weapon.
Amidst the ever-evolving world of Helldivers 2, where weapons and armor receive tweaks and adjustments, one Reddit user, Frost_King907, shed light on a potent combination: pairing the Arc Thrower with the Electrical Conduit armor.
This synergy introduces a game-changing tactic. The Electrical Conduit armor, a recent addition from the Warbond update, alters the dynamics of arc damage.
While it shields the wearer from harm, it also transforms them into a conduit for electricity, essentially turning them into a walking lightning coil.

By strategically targeting a teammate with the Arc Thrower, the range and spread of its electrical discharge are vastly increased, illuminating the battlefield with crackling energy.
This newfound strategy not only showcases the ingenuity of Helldivers but also aligns perfectly with the game’s cooperative spirit.
Embracing the role of a lightning rod adds a layer of camaraderie and humor to the intense battles against alien threats.
However, with great power comes the possibility of balance adjustments. Arrowhead Game Studios may address this strategy in future updates, underscoring the importance of seizing the opportunity while it lasts.
While the combination of the Arc Thrower and Electrical Conduit armor holds immense potential, it’s best employed within a coordinated team.
Randomly electrocuting allies may not endear you to your comrades. Yet, with proper coordination, this tactic can electrify the battlefield, turning the tide of battle in favor of Super Earth’s forces.
Though unconventional, it exemplifies the adaptability and creativity required to emerge victorious in the relentless war against alien hordes in Helldivers 2.
