The ARC Generator, also referred to as the "Mulcher," is an alien weapon that fires a stream of electricity. Like all alien weapons, it only discharges in the hands of a non-human. The weapon utilizes highly dangerous protonic current which has a high damage radius and damage capability. Upon direct contact with a biological entity, one hit from the weapon causes the entity to superheat and explode in a violent, swift, and often messy manner. Although a direct hit is the most effective, even minor superficial damage from the weapon can yield fatal results such as horrible burns and even dismemberment. A weapon of similar design is also part of the onboard weaponry of the Prawn Exosuit. The ARC Generator is called the AMR-B21 by MNU.

“The AMR-B05, also known as "The Repeater," is a fully-automatic Prawn weapon. The weapon functions as an assault rifle. The tubes down the side each discharge an explosive burst of gas one after the other down the length of the barrel behind the projectile - a linear accelerator gun, similar to a rail gun. It fires these all rapidly to get a high rate of fire.

A second variant of the weapon (pictured above) exists. Its functionality is identical to the standard version, but it carries an enlarged magazine and is for use by Exo Suits.”

“The AMR-B07 functions like a human flamethrower. The flames are green in color and burn like normal fire. This weapon is very similar (in appearance) to the non-human grenade launcher.”

“The AMR-B13 is an alien weapon that can cause huge explosions. It works by projecting sonic pulses and then amplifying them in a contained column of devastation. It simultaneously discharges a pale blue stream of electricity at the target, which in contact causes the target to burst.”

“The AMR-B43, sometimes referred to as the "Sonic blaster," is a repulsor-type alien weapon that stabilizes sound and projects it at desired enemies.”
