    Just got the VOT Plasma Pulse

    I got the green version of this gun from a vendor a few hours ago, thought I'd just report my feelings of this gun now that I've got one.

    In PVE, this gun just tears through everything. Don't even need to aim - It blows up everything infront of you, there is NO recoil. (0.25 Bloom) You can just hold down the trigger and aim straight forward and every blast will land in roughly the same spot.

    When you're attacking Ark Crystals and enemies with Critical Hit spots (like the bugs when you shoot them in the back, or the Shield guys) You get critical hits without even aiming at the critical hit spots. Shoot a shield guy on his shield, and he dies. Shoot every weak spot on an Ark Crystal just by shooting anywhere on the Ark Crystal.

    In PVP, this gun is absolutely absurd and I really hope it is removed from the game, if it is not removed or nerfed significantly (light effect removed, damage -50% at LEAST) then honestly, I see no point using any other gun because eventually everyone will be using this in there.

    I now understand why everyone who has this gun, uses it as their new main weapon, it is because it is just infinitely better than every other gun, in every scenario. Right now, there is no point in me switching back to my Rifle, even though my Rifle is a Purple Rarity weapon - this Green VOT Plasma Pulse beats it in everyway - It does more damage, shoots faster, has a larger clip, shakes the opponents screen, blinds them and has an AOE effect.

    It is the best gun I've had my hands on - by a long shot lol - I feel like I'm in godmode when using it and don't see myself putting it down until the end of Beta, if it is in the full game - It's the only gun I'll use, until I get two of them.

    In my first PVP match using it I went 8-0 and finished on the top of my team.

    There is absolutely no reasonable or competitively honest answer to this. Very well put OP and if I could +1, I would.

    I also bought a green VOT plasma pulser today, probably even from the same vendor.
    I only really used it to shred tankers because they just take too long with pistols/sniper rifles.

    It seems hard to not get criticals with the gun, because the splash damage tends to hit weakpoints. With the ammo on crit perk it's almost impossible to run out of ammo.

    At close range it can even kill you with it's splash damage.

    I found one near the start of the beta and refused to use it as it can freeze other players and trivializes the game in its entirety. I have to ask, what's the point of using such a blatantly overpowered weapon?

    yeah that gun needs to either be toned down both in effectiveness(nerf it to the ground) and graphic-wise, or it needs to be removed completely.

    when more than one person uses that gun in an arkfall, I can't play. period. it blinds my whole screen.

    I just had two people use that near me and it froze my console. Trion NEEDS to remove the gun or slow it's fire rate down a lot, or else the game will fail...

    Xbox ad PS3 beta builds are around 3 months old or something like that.

    the console beta is not for weapon balance (thats already done) its for testing on consoles and testing out the network for said consoles.

    as a pc gamer these plasma weps dont cause any performance issue forhardware. also i think on pc the plasma have been greatly reduced in a visual sence. i used aplasma on pc and it was a small bright light from the barrel and didnt cause any flash bang grenade style blinding when using it or being used upon.

    SMG how ever are designed to me medium ranged death machines (isnt all guns?) and designed to be extremly lethal in close range and also designed to be fired from the hip at close range (like shotguns)

    i forgot i had made a video with my VOT plasma

    That is not the Plasma Pulser. You clearly had one in your inventory, but never used it in the video.
