Plasma PistolReach Operation I: SkyfireAvailable by default

Unlocking the Plasma Pistol varies depending on your game mode. In the story campaign, you need to first reach Operation I: Skyfire to equip it. For Operations, it is available by default if you select the Bulwark class and Heavy class. In PvP multiplayer, reaching Veterancy Level 7 of the Bulwark class or Level 5 for the Heavy class unlocks the Plasma Pistol.

How To Use

Great Damage Per Shot

Plasma Pistol Charge

The Plasma Pistol is undeniably the best damage dealing secondary weapon in the game. Each shot can be fatal (depending on the difficulty, of course) and charging it further increases its already impressive damage. Utilize this weapon when you try to take down hardier foes in your missions!

Can Chew Through Ammo

On the other hand, the downside with the Plasma Pistol’s power is its limited ammo capacity. Every charged shot eats through 10 ammo. Although each normal shot consumes only one ammo, using it on minoris enemies may be too much in most cases so use it sparingly on them and instead reserve ammo for larger enemies.

Use To Cancel Summons

One thing worth mentioning with the Plasma Pistol is that it can cancel summons. Tyranids that summon reinforcements may be troublesome if left alone so to best deal with these threats, you can simply land a well-placed charged plasma shot to cancel the summons.

Needs To Cooldown

Plasma Pistol Overheat

Using the Plasma Pistol continuously drives it to overheat. The time it remains unusable depends on the Plasma Pistol’s “Venting Speed” stat. Make sure to watch out for the red circle around your reticle as when it reaches maximum, you will not be able to use your Plasma Pistol for a few seconds. Note that charged shots add more heat to the Plasma Pistol.
