My first thought...

...was that the two additional arms were surgically/magically attached after you defeat some significant foe - from that foe.

Ya know how some earth cultures have thought that by drinking the blood or cannibalism or by using some totem you could absorb the power of your defeated enemies? Well, what if the Fallen take their enemies power in a more literal sense?

Unless their foes are other Fallen, that wouldn't work--the two pairs of arms feature the same hands (most visible in the Fallen Captain image). Plus, attaching/growing arms? That's some Tigerman stuff.

I also don't think the Fallen would want any part of a human attached to them anyway. If they think they're better than us, I don't think they think we have any power they'd want to consume in the first place.
