   Threat Assessment

Key Metrics

	Run	ACD	Heat
	Baseline	118.7	29
	Optimized	126.8	61
	Redline	86.5	184

Test Results

The ARC-2S has mediocre baseline damage output with some damage optimization potential (+8 versus baseline). This Archer variant often deals with penalties from heat and can be challenging to manage.
