ARC too weak!?
is it just me or should an ARC nearly insta kill aliens!?
Sometimes I see it shootig for like 10 seconds at just one single Ailen and the alien is still alive. Seeing it often that it shoots and shoots and Alien is still alive.

It’s good enough for low levels until you get the APC with its plasma cannons

Given that it has infinite ammo I think it's very very strong. Even for Nightmare difficulty.

No it shouldnt insta kill aliens.. That would be totally busted for the people who farm xp.

u dont get xp for just killing normal aliens. and they could totally make it so you dont get any if the ARC is killing them. So I dont see your point.

I don't think killing aliens gives XP. Does it?

You get XP from doing missions and surviving onslaughts that it.

You get XP by
1: Completing Objectives
2: Fighting off a Massive Wave when they spawn
3: Fighting off a Class 2 when it spawns.

So you can farm 5 extra XP per drop cause it's 3 waves and 2 class 2's.

and that would be totally fine cause it is not so easy to survive and do those things without extracting and coming back.
It would be just more realistically.
Aliens are strongest inside where ARC can not get and where corridors are small and not much sight.

If they attack outside where u have an ARC they should be easily killed.
