I would sell my liver for the MK3 plasma gun shots to explode on impacting the ground or walls

even tho the mk3 has a lot of downsides, if you can give it the same functionality like the high explosive bolters, with shots exploding on impacting the ground or walls, I would jump for joy like a super early christmas present

and if you want to add some visual flair, maybe add a blue plasma explosion effect and crater burn mark like all bolters tend to do, since using the mk3 feels like your firing an invisible water balloon at things.

I feel like this is a bug. I was hoping the charged shot would be like the show-stopper charged explosive of this weapon from one of my favorite Bond games

Even the Mk2 plasma charged and more-explody bolters blow up on everything so this feels buggy. Its like the TF2 loch n load, but in reverse (that had faster projectiles and more damage/splash radius, but required direct hits).

a playtester came out and said it’s intentional “so you at least have to aim with it” which is a really stupid rationale in my opinion but there it is

Brother this is the 6th thread you’ve made about this and Fatshark isn’t coming back until the end of August.

If you sold your liver you would die and therefore not enjoy the fruits of your bargain.

You could get by for a while with only 1 kidney or lung though.

Half a liver works too since in theory it does grow back.

100% a bug. It doesnt explode when hitting bulwark shields and captain’s bubles too.

It really just should be a cracked up fireball staff from V2

“Playtesters” also said that Light Them Up not affecting explosions is intentional, then it got fixed. Imagine taking them seriously.

yeap EXACTLY

got a video showing that?

oh fiddlesticks that’s sad to hear

I’d also sell this man’s liver for the mk III plasma to explode on terrain impact.

I dont have footage but any video of vermintide fireball staff will do.
OR
Voidstrike staff from psyker

oh fair enough

real and true

I kinda like how it currently is, I like the idea of it being the enemies bursting flesh and bone fragments that kills the enemies.

the default bolt pistol already does that, and the high explosive bolters have that feature to

but plasma weapons by default emit a heated blast on impact, so if you wanted to make the plasma weapons a little more accurate, all charged shots would emit burn damage and small explosions, but that’s why I hope the mk3 gets buffed to explode on terrain impact since it’ll make it have better utility and ease of use.

Yah i was hoping for a cool SM1 explosion… but FS does projectiles differently… :sad_but_relieved_face:

yeah its strange because the mk2 shots do explode on impact on any surface if you charge up the weapon, just wished the mk3 had that effect to.
