For an Arc Warlock, the standout exotic weapon, particularly for its inherent synergy with Arc 3.0 subclasses, is Delicate Tomb. This exotic fusion rifle is highly favored for its ability to generate Ionic Traces, which are crucial for maintaining ability uptime and empowering your Warlock's Arc abilities.
Delicate Tomb: The Synergistic Choice
Delicate Tomb is an exotic Stasis/Arc Fusion Rifle (though its primary synergy lies with Arc Warlock due to Ionic Trace generation on Arc final blows). Its unique perk, "Trapshooter," fires a spread of projectiles that jolt targets, and final blows with the weapon or any Arc ability create Ionic Traces. For Arc Warlocks, who rely heavily on ability regeneration and chained damage, this constant generation of Ionic Traces is invaluable.
- Key Benefit: Generates Ionic Traces consistently, feeding into Arc 3.0's core mechanics of ability regeneration and amplified status.
- Exotic Catalyst: Further enhances its capabilities, often by boosting its effectiveness or adding another beneficial perk.
- Source: Delicate Tomb can be acquired from the Exotic Kiosk (Monument to Lost Lights) in the Tower, provided you have the necessary resources and the Beyond Light expansion.
Complementary Legendary Arc Weapons
While Delicate Tomb is a prime exotic choice, a powerful Arc Warlock build often combines it with synergistic legendary weapons. These options further enhance your Arc damage output and ability regeneration, providing versatile loadout choices for various activities.
The following legendary weapons are excellent choices for an Arc Warlock, known for their strong rolls and utility:
Weapon Name | God Roll | Source |
---|---|---|
Forbearance | Ambitious Assassin + Chain Explosion | Vow of the Disciple Raid |
Prodigal Return | Lead from Gold + Voltshot | Defiance Engrams |
Iterative Loop | Compulsive Reloader + Voltshot | Neomuna Activities |
These legendary weapons, combined with Delicate Tomb, allow Arc Warlocks to chain jolts, generate orbs of power, and maintain high ability uptime, making for a potent and electrifying combat experience.
