It's been on GitHub for a while but I just updated it and realised I never released it on the forum.

The Arc Launcher! An anti mech/shield/turret weapon based off a Charge Rifle. As the Incendiary Launcher is to molotovs so the Arc Launcher is to EMP grenades.

==Description==
One new weapon, an anti mech/shield/turret Arc Launcher.
Gated behind the Charged Shot research this weapon fires an energy projectile which bursts into a powerful EMP blast.

==Acquiring==
The Arc Launcher can be bought from traders, or built at a machining table.

==Bill of Materials==
At the machining table you can make you own, once Charged Shot has been researched. Costs and time are identical to the Charge Rifle
* 20 Steel
* 40 Plasteel
* 7 Components
* 833 Seconds (50,000 ticks)

==More stats==
The weapon copies the accuracies and ranges of the Incendiary Launcher, (range 24, accuracies 0.79/0.42/0.18/0.06 touch/short/medium/long)
The shot has a larger radius and damage though, 85 EMP damage in a 2.5 tile radius

==Notes==
Beware! The Arc launcher might (rarely) replace a Charge Rifle on a Mercenary Elite, giving raiders a way to stun your turrets or strip the shields from your brawlers.
