Loadout Description

MDF Plasma Gun

A plasma gun created by the Mars Defense Force. Fires very fast, but has a notorious overheating problem.

• Can overheat

Gameplay

This weapon behaves similarly to Mikko's default MS-Corp Plasma Gun. It shoots powerful plasma balls with a very high rate of fire. It is lethal against unprotected enemies. Also, like other plasma weapons, it's very effective against supernatural enemies as well as robots. However it will work poorly against body armour and heavy armour. Like the default weapon, it is well suited against crowds of enemies or against single non-protected strong enemies.

The main difference with the default plasma gun is that this one fires slightly weaker projectiles which travel at a faster speed. You will hit distant enemies more quickly. However the weapon will overheat if you shoot continuously for too long.

The weapon will be in overheat state when the orange number on the display will exceed 125 or so. Once that happens, you need to either wait or press Tert-fire/Reload key if you happen to have Heat Sinks in stores. Otherwise you will have to fire in bursts while keeping an eye on the orange number on the display. This is a bit less practical when facing crowds of enemies.

You will gain 50 ammo per pick-up and you can hold up to 300 in total.

Location

You can unlock this weapon for purchase at the Shopkeeper. To do that, you need to use your PDU scanner on an advert for the weapon. You can find one of these adverts in the AMC Base restauration area, in the main area of New LA on the Moon, or somewhere on Garmid's hub. It will cost 15k base budget.
