Plasma Gun

The Plasma Gun (PG) fires rapid-fire plasma bolts dealing splash damage on each impact. Self-damage applies. Used for plasma climbing in addition to combat. Respawn time is 5 seconds.

Mechanics

Each plasma bolt is a fast-moving projectile with a small splash radius on impact. High fire rate means rapid splash accumulation on clustered targets or surfaces. Self-damage applies but individual bolt damage is low.

Plasma Climb

Firing the Plasma Gun at the floor while jumping propels the player upward using self-knockback from the splash. Repeated shots against a wall at close range produce rapid vertical or horizontal movement. Plasma climbing is a traversal technique used on specific maps to reach positions inaccessible by normal rocket jumping.

Role in Play

The PG is used primarily for plasma climbing and as area-pressure in corridors. Its high fire rate makes it effective for suppressing movement in enclosed spaces. In open areas it is less efficient than the primary triad weapons.
