When to Pick Each
PICK BOBCAT WHEN
You have the blueprint and materials, and want the fastest CQB TTK possible. The Bobcat's 17.15 fire rate melts anyone.
PICK STITCHER WHEN
Budget runs, free loadouts, or when you can't afford to lose an Epic weapon. Fastest reload of any automatic.
BOBCAT STRUGGLES WHEN
Cost. Losing an Epic weapon hurts. Also weak against ARC armor.
STITCHER STRUGGLES WHEN
Range. Post-nerf bloom makes it unreliable past 10m.

The Bobcat and Stitcher represent the classic risk-vs-reward choice in Arc Raiders. The Bobcat's 17.15 fire rate gives it the third-fastest TTK in the game at 1.11s, but its Epic rarity means losing one hurts. The Stitcher's free loadout availability and 2-credit-per-shot economy make it the go-to budget SMG.
