Pretty simple, the plasma pistol doesn’t EMP vehicles. This cannot stay for the final game. It’s a quintessential part of Halo. I understand that 343 is replacing the old EMP stuff with this shock mechanic, but the plasma pistol overcharge needs to EMP vehicles.
Water wets, fire burns, plasma pistol stop vehicle !
343, stop rewrite physic law at each game and please respect the continuity
I have also noticed the plasma pistol doesn’t have it’s homing ability, like in previous entries.
And if it doesn’t EMP vehicles it’s heresy, and it losses one of the features that makes it unique.
I don’t see why they would change that, it’s not op it’s the reason you pick up the damn thing to emp vehicles and drop Shields
AIs can still EMP vehicles with the plasma pistol so it’s likely a bug. so far awaiting confirmation from 343i.
I noticed that as well. I was in a ghost, a poor guy was in my way, tried to Plasma Pistol charge me but it didn’t work and I splattered him. I hope it’s a bug or something they hadn’t implemented yet. The whole point of the plasma overcharge is strip shields, and in vehicular situations, EMP them for a short time. Hopefully this returns in the final game

Yes,
What else would you pick it up for?
To use the primary fire like a grunt?

The plasma pistol does still have its homing ability. It just tracks less, and your reticle needs to be red to activate it.
I like that it’s harder to emp now. The noob combo finally gets a skill gap.
12 years the pistol has been an emp for vehicles. Why change it?
