This is the most basic offensive combot part, available to all factions right from the start. While all factions have a better starting part, Basic Arms are manufactured very rapidly and are quite cheap, however due to its low durability it is not good idea to use it in combat when there is little MetaJoules to spare. It is always better to wait couple seconds longer and assemble Combot with cheap shield than one or two basic arms.

It's especially useful for Mil-Agro as their other parts are quite heavy and all dual-wield configurations require Strength Legs to move without slowing down the combot, something that will not be available in the early game.

Official description[]

"As its name implies, this is the simplest arm type and is made available to all CorpoNations. Although it's relatively weak, the Basic Arm is cheap and takes far less lime to build than other appendages."
