Because you can now spawn with a Plasma Pistol it pretty much makes vehicles redundant from watching the Machinima Stream every time someone has a vehicle within two minuets of them having it they are down from a Overcharge PP.
There is a perk to make the EMP burst less effective against vehicles.
Well i disagree, the plasma pistol has literally two uses, to drop shields and temporarily disable vehicles, thats it. aside from that it is an absolutely useless weapon, odds are you will never kill someone in matchmaking by shooting them with a plasma pistol.
Even Then for every second you charge it 3 of it’s ammo go so we can assume if it spawns with 100 ammo you will only be able to charge for 33 seconds.

I just noticed this on the Machinima livestream, only it seemed like it took a mere ten seconds of charging to be completely depleted. I could be wrong of course, but either way it “burns” much faster than it did in Reach.
Plasma pistol isn’t the real issue. The Boltshot kills in one damn hit if overcharged. Like, seriously?

I heard this too, 100% correct I believe.

Boltshot seems to take a lot longer than 2 seconds to fully charge. You can plant 5 headshots from a DMR/BR with more than enough time to spare.
Yes. Atleast it’s noit a useless weapon anymore 
Plasma pistol may stop my warthog… but it doesn’t stop it’s turret! muahahahahaha!

Lol, thanks for the first laugh of the day, and on topic, so very true.

It barely takes a second. You don’t have to wait until it auto-fires, you can fire it as soon as it charges up.

Well, I haven’t seen any gameplay featuring it in a while, so my timing may be exaggerated.
