Arc Rifle Overhaul – For the Glory of the Omnissiah
In the base game, the arc rifle sits awkwardly in the exotic family, leaving Forge World characters and Pasqal — who are thematically best suited to plasma and melta weapons — with little reason to use it.
This mod elevates the arc rifle to its rightful place as the pinnacle of Mechanicus armaments. Now, your Tech-Priests and Forge World heirs can wield weapons that feel worthy of their creed and lineage.
What’s Changed
Arc rifles have been rebalanced to match the power curve of plasma and melta weapons.
They now stand as the Mechanicus’ true top-tier firearms, a thematic and mechanical choice for Pasqal and Forge World characters.

Instructions
You will need to install MicroPatches version 1.17.4+ for this mod to work.
unzip the folder into C:\Users\Me\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Warhammer 40000 Rogue Trader\Modifications
Once the folder is there, you may need to edit your OwlcatModificationManagerSettings.json file. This is one level up from the mod's folder. It needs to look something like:
{"$id":"1","SourceDirectories":[],"EnabledModifications":["jhArcPlasma"],"ActiveModifications":["jhArcPlasma"],"DisabledModifications":[]}
You will need to add the two entries for jhArcPlasma following the format above. Once this file is edited you can start your game and you should see the mod in the in-game mod tool (not the built in Unity Mod Manager)
