Problem is that its heavily dependend on the situation, so you can be left with either 6 damage or 36.Ī slug will always hit the target you are aiming for, it'll be instantly dead.Ī plasma shot will leave it to rami if it'll hit the enemy enough to kill it or if the enemy might just swoop around it. Let me just compare two things with eachother : The slugger and the plasma weapons.Ī slug is dealing 22 each shot, a plasma shot can actually deal more damage than that. Problem is there are way better alternatives which are not only 200% more reliable but also dont cost as much ammo.

'Use it on the enemies which dont move then, duh' Here is another large problem : This thing is very very difficult to use at a price of 'ok' damage, it's very slow, so using it at enemies which actually move will be hard, especially crystal spiders.Īt close range what can even happen is that the enemy gets hit ONCE and then the plasma just flies off, leaving you with damage due to its odd hitbox and way of dealing damage. When you shoot a slugger at a scorpion you will be sure this thing will hit it and kill it, with plasmas on the other hand you will never know if that thing will actually be good enough to kill the target. Why is that bad?īecause its HEAVILY unreliable. Plasmas work in the way that they hit the target multiple times, and that's bad. Here is the main problem : You cannot rely on this thing to actually fully hit your target. There is a number of reasons why plasma weapons are not good and people prefer other weapons for it, the main I'd say is that the plasma weapons do a medicore job at literally everything.

It's no secret that plasma weapons are not popular, and I can only hook myself up to that boat.

NOTE : I AM TALKING ABOUT THE ONE SHOT PLASMA WEAPONS, THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT THE SUPER PLASMA CANNON OR THE PLASMA CANNON.
