Having seen my teammates use plasma, I think it needs a sound and VFX pass too. It looks rather unimpressive when firing, like a water gun, and it sounded weirdly quiet too.
The plasma pistol from Astartes looks and sounds much more impressive to me… surely our plasma rifle could at least try to come close? Here’s the timestamped link
I genuinely believe though that, that is a bug.
Is it only me or “Deadshot” doesn’t work on plasma gun?
Deadshot is one of veteran perks (-10% stamina +25% crit chance during alt fire)
Pls, check and let me know.
My stamina stay at 100% when I charge plasmagun with alt fire
A friend I game with just got it yesterday. He was squeeing like i little child because he was having so much fun (have not seen that before). i’m not sure he’s convinced that it’s the best weapon, but he sure was having fun just one-shotting most stuff.
Same, but power sword became boring for me. I will use it on hardest difficulty BUT I have a lot of fun with knife which applys bleeding on non crit hits. Plus speed and dodge bonuses are good even to dodge range attacks. Playing on malice with it atm
Bolter also has better sound, more “characteristic” rather than a sawed off Barrett M107
Thank god you explained whats written to someone who is too dumb to read.
Quiestion remains.
The damage bar, yours is about 65% - does that modify chain damage by 65%, or by 10% or by a flat 20 points of damage ?
The mobility bar about 55% - does it increase your dodge range by 55% or by 30%, or by flat number ?
The Cleave Targets bar about 50% - does that increase number of targets by 50% ? Or by 5, or by 2 ?
Cleave Damage is nearing 85% - does that mean your cleave is 85% stronger, or 85% of base damage, or 85% of weapon damage accoring to Damage bar ? Or just an extra fixed number like 20 extra damage on cleave ?
This is what im talking about, JUST stats, take your mods, blessings, traits or whatever its called back to salvaged item. What are there ?
Is having a Single Shot Lasgun Damage worth the focus or not ? Its better to get Mobility ?
This helps… it’s mental though
I haven’t yet seen my stamina decrease while priming a charged shot. So safe to say, it probably doesn’t work right now. And it may not even be intended to work, considering you don’t actually ADS with the Plasma Gun.
Just one of many, many Talent/Weapon overlap oversights.
Jezus christ.
So basicly your a genious or screw the stats and hope you get a good weapon by trial and error…
The more I know about the DT way of dealing with weapons, the more I do something I never thought was possible.
Wishing for VT2s system to come back. And that one was so bad.
I guess when people begged FS to get Athanor weapons into the game they were hearing: “More grind! WE WANT MORE GRIND! And we demand to be more confused about what our weapons are doing! See that 20% Crit damage properties that doesnt do what we think it does? MORE OF THAT!”
Tried Plasma again multiple times, at Malice+ when 6+ ranged enemies appear Plasma is terrible. You kill ~5 and you need to wait 40k years to reload or take self-damage. At higher difficulty it is terrible, you cannot deal with multiple threads without being out of combat for a long time.
Venting (V button) should not cause damage to the player and the heat per shot should be decreased.
I play difficulty 4 with plasma, it’s amazing for me. I combine it with knife. I shoot only elites and specials, and dodge around with knife to kill all others.
Put perks for better reload, I like +30% reload speed after elite kill.
+20% speed is nice too, but I prefer grenade every minute.
Here is a plasma hint. Its animation had 3 steps.
But if you hit sprint to fast, your animation step will not progress.
You can swap weapons instead sprinting, also works but is slower.
I put plasma gun into maulers and didint get a kill before overheating plasma, but i can kill them with bolter burst.
Also for sniping bolter > Plasma
Agaisnt monstrocities bolter > Plasma
Idk what stats your plasma gun has, but on heresy (lvl 4)
Mauler — 3 body shots (33% heat)
Crusher — 5 body shots (66% heat)
You can one shot mauler with charged attack.
You can one shot crashes with charged attack and ability on (against ogrins).
I love to use it with 30% reload after elite kill.
Crusher or Mauler is armoured ?
I got 2 plasma guns - 30% damage, 80 thermal resist and 70% damage, 40% thermal
Both have bonuses against maniacs, one has against unyielding another vs flak.
i actually find myself moving away from the bolter, it is a fantastic gun but it just cant kill in the volume of a lot other weapons , id take heavy braced or recon, light autogun or even a shotgun over a boltgun if im looking to do work. on vet, and light auto/shotgun are hard to get off my zealot
iirc mauler is the flak armoured scab with a 2h chain axe
crusher is carapace armoured oggie with the masonry
all it needs is single shot hipfire, not 2 shot burst minimum and fixed animation not to yank it every time you sqitch weapons
