PLASMA PISTOL MASTERY

So far I am at Adept 17/50
It is really difficult to get kills with the PP. But definitely makes for an interesting challenge. If you are after this commendation, keep in mind if a vehicle is on fire and low on health you may be able to destroy it with a plasma overcharge.

The difficult part about getting kills with the PP is that it is very quick to overheat, does very little damage to health, and is not very accurate unless you are up the opponents butt hole.

Wish me luck!

I think it needs a little buff for the single shot damage or turn down the overheat rate I find that right before I’m about to kill someone I overheat it and its really frustrating. Plus its little under powered compared to the other pistols all its good for is getting assists and disabling drivers that get too close.

It would be nice if it was like the Plasma Pistol the grunts and Jackals have in Halo CE. That might be a bit too powerful though.

I’ve really been neglecting Covie/Forerunner weapons, but I can see how the humble Plasma Pistol would be hell to level up. Play lots of objective and FFA gametypes I guess, and shoot into big melees like a madman; you’re bound to get lucky now and again.

The Plasma Pistol seems much better as an assist weapon, though…

I think I’ve only ever killed one person with it, and that was on accident

it really is an assist weapon it needs something I would the Plasma Pistol from CE atleast it was useable

I’ve actually gotten a few kills with the Plasma Pistol. It’s pretty powerful when it’s overcharged.

Pulse Grenades, now thats a challenge. I think I’ve gotten 2 kills in MP with them.

Seriously, I mean who is stupid enough to walk into that big orange ball of death? xD I think if the light flickered it would be easier to get kills with. Wouldn’t be so -Yoink!- obvious

Jay play King of the hill or Oddball Pulse nades are really good there

I’m actually at master level with Pulse grenades. They work really well in objective games. Throw them into the hill when the enemy has it. Those pesky active camo Boltshot overchargers guarding the flag? Promethean vision and pulse grenades will fish em out.

Pulse grenades are actually pretty deadly against EMPed vehicles.

I can get kills with the PP pretty often in CQC. Just play a game like Regicide or King of the Hill.
