Gatling Plasma mods
Is there any way to get gatling plasma mods or mod plans without disassembling one? I got a cool two-star from the purveyor but the recoil and range is pretty awful.

I think the gatling plasma mods are gained on disassembly, but not to worry! The tougher blood eagles in any given engagement will occasionally have them, assuming you're not just sticking to the Forest region. I've seen gatling plasmas drop in the southern most blood eagle camp in the ash heap, and more regularly in the savage divide. They aren't super common, but if you spend a few days hunting blood eagles for them you should be able to find a few.

One of the blood eagles shot at me with it, but I would loot missile launcher instead from his body.....

Scrapping non legendary weapons and armor is the quickest way to learn mods. If you find the plan you can craft them ( the weapon ) then scrap. Sometimes mods are found in the game but more rare.

I don't know if this is a bug or intended, but it drives me nuts.

Blood eagles will carry and drop gatling plasmas, it just isn't super often. I've unlocked 4/5 plasma gat mods from blood eagle drops over the course of about 2 weeks of regularly clearing blood eagle spots.

Vendors sell some Gatling Plasma mods/ plans for mods.

my guess this is a bug. Happens quite often with me. I could loot different weapons than the mobs shooting with.

I dont know where mine is come from. But it saved my life countless times. Its the best choice against high level opponents/cryptids IMO. Unfortunately I didnt stumbled on another one. Nor I saw at the vendors.

i have had this happen though the plasma was on the ground i have had this happen with other weapons too. just check the ground the plasma though is pretty big and noticeable but can fall or slide around.

i too got a plasma from purveyor was using a gatling laser for when i just needed to lay down a lot of fire but the plasma does a lot more dmg though i agree its not very stable and its fire has a wider area though that could be ok with mobs. i'm level 51 and am finding them as stated from the blood eagles. so far have found a barrel mod though still noticeable recoil. i would say its good for close to low medium ranges. both these gatt's are great with ammo efficiency(though the laser ammo may want for armor) though for their class/dmg output.

As I observed its only useful in shotgun-range or SMG-range at best. With the distance growing, the fewer bullet hit the target. Though mine is unmodded. I currently experimenting with other weapons for shooting tough enemies from distance (gauss rifle, The Dragon).

The loot of a humanoid mob does not directly depend on with which weapon he shot you. But, an enemy heavy gunner will always drop a heavy weapon, an enemy ranged mob will always drop a ranged weapon, an enemy melee mob will always drop a melee weapon, and the hand to hand mobs amongst the scorched always have an empty inventory.
