Plasma Punisher

[MrMorrison226]

tell me wat do u think. I Did not think highly of it

Handling on it is terrible. Ammunition pool is deep as the ocean. Can kill Chargers.

You just have to embrace its role as a high ground spamcannon. Quantity of fire is a quality all its own.

Its not that great. Its got some cute gimmicks to it, but nothing worthy of it being taken over other options.

The lob shot for me is what kills it. Its bascially suicide to use it as a close range weapon unless you wanna die, and its more or less a poor mans version of the plas 1, which the plas one is better DPS and rage, and performs the same task.

I would liken it to the Grenade launcher, but with out the ability to close holes which sucks.

IMO your better off running other weapons, its only real claim to fame seems to be the extremely high ammo count which is really odd for the weapon, and the ability to deal with chargers. However once you get the plas 1 you find out it can do the same thing.

It's a specialist weapon. I heard it kills chargers. If that's true that would be incredible. Combo it with a machine gun and your probably going to have a good time.

It's a grenade launcher that doesn't blow bug holes. It sort of works against bugs because of their primarily swarm and melee nature.

It doesn't work great against bots, which are much more competent and spread out at range, and shots can often thread through their armpits or between their legs when you try to land direct hits. It does destroy Fabricators if you shoot through an open door.

So it's not really that effective against either faction.

If you like team synergy someone should have one to help control the bugs.

I can't really see it being a fan favorite though

[McFuzz]

Not enough damage. Can't solo a charger with the weapon = weapon ain't great.

[Neme]

It feels limp compared to the Grenade launcher to me

Best way i can describe it truth be told lol

[Nobody watches your TTV]

it's like a low budget scorcher

I... what? I think you mean it's as deep as the puddle on my doorstep. I ran out of ammo using the plasma punisher so quick it's not even funny.

Tried it once and thought that this one is going to get a complete re-work. Not fun nor efficient. The whole close range lob thing seems more like an attack that a terminid would shoot from their butt than Super Earth Super Technology.

[Silverlight]

Maybe it will just destroy the new faction?

[TITANIUMsmoothy]

Good vs chargers and bile spitters, but not the greatest vs chafe like hunters but that can easily be solved by running a stalwart or laser drone. Fire at the ground underneath chargers to kill them.

Amazing CC. Have someone next to you that can kill mobs quickly and you'll wreck breaches and drop ships. I have also paired it with the tesla tower and its high stun helps keep enemies off the tower. A great combo for the new game mode.

As a solo player its bad unless you are breaking eggs.

[Zeddy]

I like it because it offers something no other primary does, but it also means you'll be underequipped for situations where you needed what the other primaries do. Get comfy wielding Redeemer as your primary weapon.

My biggest complaint is it can't open cargo doors. Only Slugger gets to do that.

Used it earlier, first match and a half I thought it was as bad as the counter sniper, second half, I was able to use it to bombard a horde of bugs and I realised it's sole use.

Still not great or an option I'd really take, plus the explosion didn't really pop eggs either, which, I thought it would be good for.

Maybe when we get more side arms it could find a use if we get huge hordes if small bugs only as a modifier?
