ARC Trooper

The ARC Trooper, also known as the Advanced Recon Commando, is the Infiltrator Reinforcement unit for the Galactic Republic in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront II. It arrived on March 26, 2019 as part of the Capital Supremacy Update.

Overview
ARC Troopers are attackers that use unconventional tactics in their rushes and flanks. They dual wield DC-17 pistols, which can reconfigure into a slow but accurate mode or a fast but inaccurate one. While their default attacks are more deadly up close, ARC Troopers can charge up their DC-17 blaster pistols with their Power Blast ability, dealing damage to enemy players at a distance, as well as vehicles and villains. (As of The Age of Rebellion Update their Power Blast has been moved to a secondary fire, in-line with the ISB Agent; pressing the fire button now fires both blasters, in comparison to both buttons used.)

ARC troopers can reconfigure their weapon to fire at a faster rate, but with lower accuracy, making them more dangerous at close range.

ARC Troopers can become more knowledgeable of the battlefront by using their middle ability, Helmet Scanner, which lowers their rangefinder and scans for nearby enemies in pulses, revealing their positions to ARC Troopers.

ARC Troopers finally come equipped with a Shock Trap, a device thrown down by ARC troopers that, when detonated, charges an electric current that knocks down enemy players within its vicinity, opening them up for further attacks.

Updates
Capital Supremacy Update
 * Added.

Capital Supremacy Hotfix
 * Lowered ARC Trooper's Power Blast damage (150->140) to prevent One-Hit Kills against Assault, Officer & Specialist.
 * Fixed an issue that would prevent the ARC Trooper from gaining progress when playing on Phase 1 maps.
 * Revised the ping color of the ARC Trooper's Helmet Scanner ability for consistency.

Giants Above Kachirho Update
 * Heat per shot was secretly raised from 0.015 to 0.035, thereby decreasing the amount of shots before overheat from 67 to 29.
 * Fixed an issue where you could get progress on Lando Calrissian's Stun and Attack Milestone when using the ARC Trooper's Shock Trap
 * Fixed an issue where the ARC Trooper had no Battle Points price associated when playing on Strike.
 * Fixed an issue where the ARC Trooper's Power Blast ability would get deactivated if the player started dashing right after deploying with the ARC Trooper.
 * Fixed an issue where the ARC Trooper could cool down his weapon while charging Power Blast.
 * Fixed an issue where a player playing as the ARC Trooper would get a Shock Trap target activated, even when the Shock Trap was deployed by another ARC Trooper.
 * Animation polish for the ARC Trooper and Commando Droid to fix various clipping issues.

Siege of Kamino Update
 * Fixed an issue where players were unable to see the "Shock Trap" deployed by an enemy ARC Trooper. The projectile has been updated to have infinite active time, be destroyable by blaster fire, and have a blinking light source for increased visibility by allies and enemies.
 * Fixed an issue where the ARC Trooper's left pistol had a faster fire rate than the right one.
 * Fixed an issue that would cause the ARC Trooper animation model to break when rotating the camera quickly from above.

Where are those Droidekas Update
 * Reverted changes to the fire rate of the left hand, to fix inconsistencies between the two fire rates.
 * Backpack added along with the Phase II helmet being slightly changed, most notably the chin piece.

The Celebration Update
 * Added Cobalt Hero, Umbra Operative and Lambant Seeker appearances.
 * Added new main menu animation.

The Rise of Skywalker Update
 * Fixed an issue where the ARC Trooper's left pistol was floating after the ARC Trooper was hit by an explosion.
 * Fixed an issue with missing audio during the animation of the ARC Trooper in the Spawn Screen.

The Age of Rebellion Update
 * Reworked the ARC Trooper's dual wielding to fire both pistols with primary fire, and instead use secondary fire button to trigger Power Blast.
 * Replaced the Power Blast with Toggle Weapon, that allows toggling the pistols between slower rate of fire with high accuracy, to fast firing with bigger spread.
 * Tweaked damage output on primary pistols (Close Damage 30->34 | Far Damage 17->15).
 * Note: While the patch notes state that previous damage was 30, it was actually at 29.

Battle on Scarif Update
 * Raised rate of fire in toggled fire mode (360->420).
 * Increased damage (34->35 | 15->17).
 * Decreased the recoil setting that would make the aim kick left and right with each shot.
