ARC Raiders' Flashpoint update has introduced a new weapon that's already catching players' attention: the Canto, a rare medium-ammo SMG. While the spotlight might be on the Dolabra shotgun, Canto has its own strengths, sitting in a sweet spot between mobility, sustained fire, and reliable close-range damage. For anyone wanting something lighter and faster than a shotgun but still capable of pressuring both ARC machines and enemy Raiders, Canto looks like a solid choice ARC Raiders Coins.

What makes it interesting is how it fits into the current weapon lineup. Built for close to medium range, it's more flexible than many pure close-range SMGs. Using medium ammo and fully automatic fire, it's ideal for players who like to keep moving while keeping constant pressure on targets. In a game where positioning and timing matter, that kind of weapon can be very valuable.

Canto isn't just for PvP either. Reports suggest it works well against both Raiders and ARC enemies, which is important in matches where you face human opponents and hostile machines at the same time. That makes it practical rather than gimmicky, useful across a variety of situations instead of shining in just one narrow niche.

At the moment, Canto seems tied to the Flashpoint content that introduced the Close Scrutiny map condition and new ARC threats. That fits the update's goal of raising overall challenge and encouraging players to explore new systems, enemies, and loot routes. A medium-ammo SMG like Canto makes sense in that context, offering a dependable weapon for fast-paced fights.

Fully automatic with medium ammo, it's strongest in the hands of players who can control recoil, close distance efficiently, and keep enemies under pressure without overextending. That makes it especially useful in squad fights, indoor skirmishes, and chaotic extraction moments where quick reactions matter more than range. If it handles as early reports suggest, it could become a reliable everyday weapon rather than a niche pickup buy ARC Raiders Coins.

Canto may not have the flashy novelty of a legendary shotgun, but it quietly changes how the game feels. It offers consistency, adaptability, and a clear role in the evolving ARC Raiders arsenal. As the Flashpoint update settles into the meta, Canto could become one of the go-to weapons for players who value speed, pressure, and versatility in a single package.
