The Arquebex are a pair of heavy energy mortars of Entrati design, functioning as the Voidrig Necramech's built-in Exalted Weapon. It can only be utilized through using the  Guard Mode ability, which will bunker the mech down in a siege-mode to compensate for the recoil.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Blast damage.

Advantages:

• Highest base damage of all weapons in the game, and combined with its firing rate, highest DPS of all weapons in the game.
  • Innate  Blast damage – effective against Machinery and Fossilized.
  • Innate  Heat damage – effective against Cloned Flesh, Infested, and Infested Flesh.
• Tied with  Mausolon for the second highest critical chance of all Arch-guns, behind fully charged  Velocitus.
• Very high critical multiplier.
• Tied with  Larkspur primary fire,  Mausolon alt-fire, and  Morgha alt-fire for the highest status chance of all Arch-guns.
• Shots explode in a 6 meter radius on impact with a surface or enemy.
  • No damage falloff.
• Has infinite ammunition and does not need to reload.
• Innate  polarity.

Disadvantages:

• Innate  Blast damage – less effective against Ferrite Armor and Infested Sinew.
• Innate  Heat damage – less effective against Proto Shields.
• User cannot move while active, however you are still susceptible to pushback from enemy attacks
• No zoom, thus cannot benefit from  Critical Focus or  Marked Target.
• Projectiles have travel time with heavy arcing.
  • Default-color projectiles can be nearly invisible make it difficult to determine the projectile's trajectory before impact, unless the Energy/Emission color of the weapon is customized to something highly visible like bright blue or green.
• Requires energy to activate and use.

Notes

• The Arquebex appears in the Arsenal after unlocking Voidrig's  Guard Mode ability, allowing for the ability to upgrade it and customize its colors.
• As an Archgun, the Arquebex uses Arch-gun mods, but is incapable of penetrating the armor on the Profit-Taker Orb.

Bugs

• The Arquebex will appear in the mission results screen and appear to collect Affinity, even if the Voidrig Necramech was not in use.

Trivia

• Like  Mesa's  Regulators, the Arquebex is not a summoned weapon but instead activates an already present "body part".
• Its name seems to be derived from the "arquebus", the earliest known design of a rifle.

Media

• The Voidrig Necramech in Guard Mode using its dual Arquebex cannons.
