Not really. Not exactly true. They only ones that are misrepresented are those that would be useless without this. Like revolver if shredder autopistol.
Yes, it can’t by its own, but it can with talents and perks. Plasma struggles with it all the time unless you go full damage build, with full crit charged shot blessings AND hit the head. Meanwhile t.hammer is just boss deleting machine. Plasma supposed to be one too.
While i agree that lore-accurate plasma would have little-to-no cleave it would have much begger raw damage, oneshotting every non-ogryn enemy in this game(Maybe two-shotting mutants) with non-weakshot hit. And the insane amount of restrictions this gun has(movement and dodges,overheat, slow reload, low ammo) are suddesting that this gun should be like this.
Telli me you are jealous zealot without telling me. Tho i agree that helobore-like system would be better. Especially counting the fact that it will allow it to benefit from deadshot talent.
Ow wow, is contains half of your little ammo pool. How powerful (sacrasm).
I’ve crissed this valley already to realize what trap gun this is. Play a bit more and you will understand it too. If not - try a revolver or bolter, bruh.
