Its too weak in my opinion
Cant wait to try forruner swat
it’s annoying just trying to use it against -Yoink- heads who think there cool with the carbine
Tried it before and its pretty weak. IMO, Plasma Pistol is great, but its not a weapon for killing, but more of disabling shields. Now with PP in SWAT, good if players want to finish commie, but trying to make a headshot with it, won’t work. Carbine is by far the only weapon, capable in Covenant SWAT.
It’s practically useless…
343i adds weapons tuning Title Update to be able to tune the weapons. Covie swat announced, plasma pistol is there. You’d expect them to make it useful and make it better at least in swat. Do they? No, they leave it weak…
It’s like when they do the updates, there’s always something that seems halfway done, not enough with what they should have, too much time or something. It seems there’s almost always an issue…
I killed a guy with a PP today on Covenant SWAT.
It took ten shots.
the only way they could make commie easier would be to put it in lightning flag. that way they don’t have to tune it

Why should the Plasma Pistol be stronger compared to other gametypes? It isn’t meant to be your PRIMARY weapon, it is a secondary in case you run out of ammo on your PRIMARY weapon.
If it was made into a 4-5 shot then I would be happy. I have had players turn round after a few seconds of shooting them with the pp before being popped in the head. It wouldn’t exactly be op at 4 shot considering its pitiful range and the carbines ability to get some very quick head shots.

When you run out of ammo? Melee or you’re likely just doomed. Look at the magnum in regular swat. The plasma pistol doesn’t fill a similar role. It’s too weak to even be an “in case you run out of ammo” weapon.
You can use the magnum efficienty in normal swat, you can’t in this. Even as an in case you run out of Ammo weapon it’s really weak in other modes. The only time I recall where it has saved me in war games competitive as you suggest was before the game was released using the e3 build. It hasn’t saved me like that since then. Kills that I’ve gotten with it where more forced than using it as a last resort and winning. I wonder if you’re specifically going for me, it’s not the first time I’ve noticed it.

A secondary weapon is also to be used when reloading your primary. The Carbine happens to have the longest reload time of primary rifles…
And the plasma pistol is too weak to use effectively for that.

Still useless though which a backup shouldnt be
Wait, are you complaining that a weapon that can drop shields with ease and has the ability to emp vehicles isnt good enough because it cant headshot people too?
The plasma pistol has never been able to headshot, thats not what plasma weapons are for. Carbine, beam rifle, and the needle rifle from reach are the only three covi weapons that can.

Yes, it’s so annoying when people use the main weapon of the game mode. Silly people, why would they do that?

exactly glad you agree.
it’s irritating we all could be maxing out the pp but no… some -Yoinks!- have to run round being cool

Im not wishing for it to be the main weapon just at least be more powerful

I meant for swat specifically its useless. Its OP in nearly every other circumstance and its only advantage over the other 2 pistols is worthless in SWAT. All I would like is for it to be actually able to kill someone with slight ease in covy SWAT or have the CE PP back

The Plasma Rifle in CE could too.
I honestly think more weapons should have at least bonus damage on headshots. That’s just my two cents though, and would only apply to weapons with enough accuracy to support them (The Storm Rifle for instance should not, but the Plasma Pistol should).
probably should be a 1-3 hit kill in swat cause it isnt hitscan like the carbine and unable to headshot
Just do the PP commendation like everybody else, no shortcutting you lazy -Yoinks!-
