Description[]
The Plasma Caster is a plasma-based "heavy" weapon that causes high single-target damage and has a small blast radius, but can only burst-fire and has a high TU cost associated with each shot. As a "heavy" weapon, the user will suffer an accuracy penalty if they move and fire the weapon in one turn (rotating on the spot does not count as movement). It also requires 70 strength to use without any accuracy penalty and has a 50% penalty to reaction fire.
Information[]
The Plasma Caster is best used for attacking powerful enemy units at long range, as it can kill even powerful enemies with ease.
