The Arc Pistol is a heavy pistol in Mass Effect 3.
An innovation of Admiral Daro'Xen, the Arc Pistol is a scaled-down Arc Projector that only requires thermal clips, to solve its power problems. The Arc Pistol uses a nonvisible laser to ionize the air and create a path for a high-ampere electric shock. For a more damaging blast, it can be charged up.

The Arc Pistol can be found during the mission Priority: Geth Dreadnought: Tali or Xen will set it down for Shepard to take. It is also purchasable from Elkoss Combine Arsenal Supplies post-mission if it was missed or not taken.

- The Arc Pistol carries a large amount of ammunition given its potential power, but charged shots consume up to 3 rounds at a time.
- The Arc Pistol is very versatile; it can be used like a semi-automatic weapon boasting the same rate of fire as the M-3 Predator. When used as a charged weapon, it is just as damaging as some of the more powerful heavy pistols like the M-6 Carnifex, or the M-77 Paladin.
- Ammo capacity makes this weapon useful for long term engagements.
- The biggest weakness with the Arc Pistol is the trade-off when using it one way or the other. When using it in its rapid-fire state it lacks the power to be competitive on harder difficulties, but when charged on a consistent basis, it is slower than any other pistol.
- It is also fairly heavy for a pistol. In effect, it's not unlike carrying both a Predator and a slower-firing Carnifex with a shared ammo pool. However, it is lighter than the Carnifex, and both the primary fire and the charged shot do more damage than the Predator and Carnifex respectively.
