Where are my plasma rifles?

[Volunteer]

Purchased plasma weps, pistols etc and got them on my soldiers but the sharpies are stuck with their gauss rifles. Seems like a bug. Anyone experienced similar? Thanks.

Did you do the seperate sniper research? Shotguns (storm guns) and cannons (beam cannon) also have their own.

I believe so. Presumably the option to buy a wep does not become possible without the prior research completed

Just to make sure, you purchased the plasma lance upgrade in engineering after researching it?

Yes, M8. In hundreds of hours in this game I have not had this glitch before.

The Chosen would have done their Dark Event to steal your plasma weapons





Sorry I am joking, that really sucks dude, umm maybe your soldiers just didnt "autoequip" them on purchase, did you click on the weapon in the loadout screen

To be sure, look into your 'Done Research' list, if Plasma Lance is listed there.

Is it just snipers or are other plasma weapons not showing up?

I've never seen this bug, perhaps you have a mod that is conflicting with it.

Like told in the OP only the sharpies have no plasma.

Look for the Plasma Lance research. That's for tier 3 sniper rifles.

I believe archon autopsy is required for plasma lance research as well.

Phillip, your suggestion was spot on! Looking at the list verified I had not done the specific research for the lance. Nice one, Matey. :)

Thank you, all respondants for your comments: I had simply miscomprehended the info given in the game. Nonetheless, the forums came up trumps, again. Props, All.

That would be scary and fun if there were dark events to downgrade your equipment or make soldiers lose ranks!
