[Shasva Weapon Concepts] First Off, The "plasmic Blastgun"!

[69amz]

Hello fellow Tenno. This is my first attempt at a weapon concept for Warframe. To players, I hope you can provide feedback for it. To DE, I hope that you will at least consider it, once you've read it.

 

Weapon #1: Plasmic Blastgun

"A destructive new addition of the Tenno arsenal. The Plasmic Blastgun can fire blasts of super-condensed heat, which can melt through armour and vaporize anything in it's path."

[Description]

Like the Orgris, the Plasmic Blastgun is designed for massive area damage. Due to the destructive power of the weapon, only an experienced and wealthy player can use it, for it needs both Mastery Level 8 and a significant amount of materials to craft.

 

Compared to the Orgris, the PB excels when it comes to inflicting damage upon one's foes. Damage can go through armour, but only on critical hits. The targeting is also excellent; players will be able to land a dead-on shot if they position themselves correctly. It has innate Punch Through and Impact damage, making almost all types of cover and protection meaningless.

 

The PB also has several disadvantages. While the projectile speed is faster than the Orgris, this means that a player must use careful positioning and precision firing to avoid being caught in the blast radius. Like the Orgris it will deal full damage to the player. It also has a long reload time and one round per magazine. Lastly it is not a silent weapon, and thus it is ill-advised to use it for stealth missions.

 

[Tips and Strategy]

- The Firestorm mod can extend the blast radius.

- Equipping the PB with both Infested Clip and Hellfire can destroy large numbers of Infested in one shot.

- Equipping mods that increase Slash/Impact.Puncture/damage do nothing for this weapon.

- Split Chamber is compatible, but the second projectile will not be visible (it is "merged" with the first).

- It is recommended to use both Fast Reload and Speed Trigger in tandem. This will allow the player to fire and reload as quickly as the game allows.

Basically the Grineer Napalm's gun? Wouldn't mind having one of those myself.
