'''Arclight''' is a variant of [[Acheron Security]]'s [[ARC-920 railgun]] weaponry.{{Ref/Game|Id=REQ|H5G|List of REQ cards|REQ card|Detail=Arclight description|Quote=Those who can't acquire super-soldiers acquire super-weapons instead. Advanced Railgun firing armor-piercing high-explosive [APHE] projectiles. Shots take longer to charge, but can be held indefinitely.}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
The Arclight is a modified railgun variant that fires armor-piercing, high-explosive (APHE) projectiles, able to penetrate through multiple targets at once. Additionally, the weapon has a modified firing mechanism which allows it to hold its charge indefinitely, rather than automatically discharging once the charging cycle has completed.{{Ref/Reuse|REQ}} Design-wise, it retains the standard Railgun's chassis but recolors it white, with olive green and red stripes, along with an olive green falcon emblem in the middle part of the weapon on each side.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G|H5G|Arclight in-game model}}

===Usage===
In late [[2558]], [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]] serving aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} trained with the Arclight in [[War Games]] simulations.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
