Is the New Rascal Grenade Launcher Meta in Arc Raiders

The new grenade launcher, Rascal, is the budget version of Hullcracker in Arc Raiders. And in case you didn’t know, it’s an Arc-killer weapon and cannot be used in PvP fights. The weapon’s description specifically states that the fired explosive projectile only detonates against an ARC enemy. Therefore, Rascal seems like a much more affordable option to use against the annoying ARC enemies.

You only need the Advanced Mechanical Components, Heavy Gun Parts, and Canisters to craft the grenade launcher, which is available in plenty. Although Rascal takes some time to reload and is a bit difficult to aim, no one can deny its firepower against ARC enemies. Arc Raiders players have already started sharing clips of taking out the menacing Shredders within 3 hits of Rascal on social media platforms.

Also, you can check out the official stats of the base Rascal weapon in Arc Raiders below:

There are many instances where I went with a maxed-out Hullcracker and lost my gun against ARCs and hostile raiders. Now, the new Rascal grenade launcher is a solid and bang-for-the-buck option if you are planning to fight against ARC threats

Once you find the Rascal blueprint, you can keep crafting as many grenade launchers as you want and fight against the ARCs peacefully without worrying about losing your gun.
