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.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- 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[edit | edit source]
- The Arquebex will appear in the mission results screen and appear to collect Affinity, even if the Voidrig Necramech was not in use.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- 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.
