Plasma Launcher

Description

The Plasma Launcher is capable of launching up to four large explosive plasma grenade-like bolts at a single target. These can be fired individually or all at once if charged for a short time. A plasma launcher with full battery is, in total, capable of firing up to twelve bolts, regardless of whether fired individually or in bursts. The bolts track vehicles and infantry in a similar way to the Needler, although with some notable differences, such as the fact that it does not lock on instantly. A red circle will appear around a target to indicate the Launcher is locked on. Note also that the Plasma Launcher has a 2.5x Zoom capability, better than the Human Rocket Launcher in fact. When zoomed in, the weapon is able to lock onto targets from farther away than when unzoomed. These bolts will continue to track even if the operator is killed or if the bolt is redirected by a gravity hammer. However, the projectiles move incredibly slowly, and enemy soldiers are often able to dodge them as a result of that.
