I hate the Plasma Pistol

I hate the fact that Spitfires and Void’s Tears have such a fast charge rate and such good tracking on Aerial Vehicles. I’ll spawn in a Phaeton or Banshe Ultra for 7/8 REQs and then someone gets to go and pull a Spitfire for 3 REQs EMP me 4 times in a row and highjack me. Worst part is I can’t even move as soon as I get EMPd the first time. I’ve had multiple high killstreaks messed up because of this. I personally wish that Plasma Pistols couldn’t track as well as they do. Maybe give them more of a recharge time so the first EMP will go away before the next one?

I’d like to hear other peoples opinions on this matter.

They are a little overpowered and annoying, but I also like doing that to people because I’m awful.

You would think that a race as advanced as the forerunners would have solved their emp issue…

You sir deserve an Oscar
But back to the plasma pistol its ok as it is

Maybe for something as legendary as a Phaeton it should take 2 EMPs before it gets shutdown?
Not all vehicles. Just this one. Just a thought. :slight_smile:

Good thought, especially since it’s hard to get one and only lasts a few minutes.

I always felt that the plasma pistol is meant to be more of a support weapon against shields and vehicles. While it’s not impossible, it’s quite difficult to kill an enemy with a plasma pistol.

If you dodge roll it takes off tracking its annoying as heck when trying to take out a banshee, I wasted like 4 plasma pistols because he kept spamming that

Thinking about it I’d keep it around in case someone stole one of my war machines of mass destruction, I would want to be able to know how fast I can stop it instead of letting ride around in an unstoppable killing machine
