Plasma Rifle: combat guide
🕑 Added 2021-06-29 02:30:25 +0000 UTCThe Plasma Rifle is a very effective weapon for taking out tightly packed groups of enemies. Due to its enormous ammunition reservoir, it can sustain uninterrupted fire for a very long time, but it's better used at closer ranges.
Enemies wielding it are extremely dangerous, specially if you are at close range. The best way to engage a Plasma Rifle equipped enemy is to get some distance between you. The projectiles become very imprecise at long range and that will give you a great advantage. The second thing you can do is to move a lot. Strafing around and firing back can be a good way to come out unscathed.
The secondary fire mode is devastating against armored foot soldiers. That's because the concentrated plasma beam will do area damage on the spot it lands. While not a big enough area to damage multiple targets at the same time, it means that even if it hits armor, the surface below it will get full damage. Armor is effectively useless against the secondary fire mode. You can also use this mode to very fast take out a Heavy Mecha's main weapons, since their components are very close to each other you'll damage both at the same time, even without having to be very precise. This fire mode depletes ammo very quickly though, so be mindful of that!

The Plasma Rifle will be part of the next build of Orchid Rain. Mission 09 will also feature new accessories and the biggest and most detailed map the game has ever had so far. You can look forward to its release at the end of the month!

I personally think Plasma Rifle is not good for use. The first bullet flies fast, the second right button laser bullet burns fast and does not have obvious damage, the third solid bullet sometimes blocks the view and affects the judgment, and the fourth is not good for mecha damage. It is easy to deal with mecha with a single Rifle grenade
