Is PLAS-101 PURIFIER a good weapon?

[Inardesco]

Who cares.

[Midas]

It's an amazing weapon. Its only drawback is you're moving slow while charging, and it doesn't do demolition damage.

[<Caeris↝]

It´s good for all factions.
With charged shots, you can wipe out several enemies at once.

Many enemies die in 1-2 charged shots.

In my personal opinion? Yes. Solid damage, especially when charged. Decent AoE. The only issue is fighting stuff at close range will obviously damage yourself.

[Oobaneko]

Yes.

[RedEssence]

arguably one of the best weapons in the game rn imo

deals with every non tank unit effectively and with good ammo efficiency

only issue is it isn't great for hordes, but it still does ok because of AOE explosions

[MaTTaX]

no, its the best!
seriously, i went from the sickle to the purifier and am not going back.
its perfect for bot and illuminate front. you can wipe out a whole devastator patrol + stagger them. its also perfect to kill overseers through their armor and shields.

Simply put:
Yes it is a good weapon.
If you like it or not is up to you though.

[FizzlePopBerryTwist]

People say so and i get it. You can raratatata or charge. pretty neat.

[Pride Lizard Pride Lizard]

Yeah, one of the best.

[Phishfood]

I use it for bugs, it will pop nursing/bile spewers with 2 fully charged shots and will 1 shot groups in close proximity. Only downside is when you're holding on to a full charge and a bug unexpectedly creeps up on you, the instinct to release that shot point blank into the bug will kill you.

Now you might feel a little confused because when the weapon first came out, it was trash, and it was trash for a very long time. Now you can use charge or shoot it like a single shot weapon and both options are effective for what they provide.

Personally I prefer the scorcher due to its shots dealing area damage without the need to charge em up -- which is great.

It's overtuned now. It was actually already a strong pick on bots and had everything going for it aside from having a bit of a dampened DPS and not good at point blank (which is what your secondary was for) but now it's frankly dusting other (plasma) weapons aside.
