  We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of the candidate
type-II Weyl semimetal MoTe2. Using laser-based angle-resolved photoemission we
resolve multiple distinct Fermi arcs on the inequivalent top and bottom (001)
surfaces. All surface states observed experimentally are reproduced by an
electronic structure calculation for the experimental crystal structure that
predicts a topological Weyl semimetal state with 8 type-II Weyl points. We
further use systematic electronic structure calculations simulating different
Weyl point arrangements to discuss the robustness of the identified Weyl
semimetal state and the topological character of Fermi arcs in MoTe2.
