Fortnite regularly adds themed weapons with distinctive equip and firing audio, and the Arc Lightning Gun is built around electricity, so its activation was designed to be instantly recognisable in a fight. Players clipped the sound from gameplay and shared it on soundboards and in editing packs, separate from the match itself. Once isolated, the long charge up made it useful beyond Fortnite, as a generic electric weapon or power up cue. It remains popular with editors who need a clear on switch for energy based gear.
