Plasma Weapons arrive fairly late in the game. But there are several issues preventing that:ġ. Looking at the stats, this should be my End-All-Be-All Sniper Rifle. Like the Institute and Laser weapons, sexy low weight. Insane damage, stupidly high accuracy (great for VATS), range not as good as Laser but more than enough.

They have less range than Sniper configured Laser Rifles and a significant kick, but the damage is stupidly high.Įdited by Warmaker01, 23 November 2015 - 08:45 AM. But again, at Lv55, you're in the availability range for it. There's also the Gauss Rifles but those are very late game weapons. But the longer the distance, the more annoying how slow the shots are when manual firing. Plasma rocks in a short to medium range combatant in its many configurations. I had an awesome regular sniper rifle for a very long time until Lasers and their ammo were in better supply.

But since you're Lv55, I think ammo and availability is no longer an issue anymore. Granted, it may take a while to get a good Laser Rifle set up as a Sniper configuration and Fusion Cells are precious. But the issue with Plasma is the extremely slow shot velocity if you're into manual aiming and not VATS. 50 has a violent kick and ammo is still a scarce thing despite not being an energy weapon cell. Fast velocity (big deal in manual aiming), less kick, good punch, superior range. But late game, Plasma or Laser are great but it depends on personal preferences:Īs someone that likes to shoot manually or with VATS, Laser, all the way.
