Scourge of Fire beats all

Games Halo 5: Guardians

No matter how hard firefight gets, plasma casters and more specifically the Scourge of Fire are your best bets in tackling down those ghosts, those mantis’s and super tank knight boss and wardens.
Plasma casters have two firing modes. The charged cluster effect that sticks to almost any target or wall and the weaker but faster plasma bolts that can bounce.
Out of all weapons the plasma caster has the highest damage potential of any weapon if you only use charged shots, and in PvP its alright but in PvE where you always have that opportunity to charge it, the damage is pretty strong if not border line overpowered.
The scourge of fire when charged pretty much does rocket launcher damage with each cluster for the price of 4 req energy and you get 15 shots. Against the Warden you’re pretty much a walking wraith and its especially useful in the home base, combined with the fact that you can solo legendary wardens like that.
Works well against knights however for hunters and mythic knights where their armour can deflect the bolts its best to shoot them right by their feet.
Ever since I started spamming Scourge of Fire I’m having an easier time winning firefight but sometimes its not enough and I need others to copy by golden strategy.

Spread the word to others and tell them to believe in plasma casters.

Plasma casters can ‘stun’ mantis’ on charged shots.

That thing is so badass

I knew there was a reason I’d been stockpiling these.

I’ve been using them as well. At Req 3 even the normal caster is awesome in WZFF

Good looking out OP.
I had no idea the Plasma Caster was so useful. It was okay in Warzone (regular) / Arena, but this gives me a reason to start saving them for use in Firefight.

I guess you could say OP is a…

…Plasma Pastor.

I just started bringing those in and realized they were useful! They work decent on ARC when defending the garage. Through some rounds in the lower level to clear out some soldiers and crawlers and make it easier for the rest of the team to finish them off.
My next choice off weapon is the plasma pistol, or VOID’s TEAR. best way to counter the pheatons.

I’ll try and get footage on xbox DVR of me single handedly clearing the wardens out with this weapon, but yeah something like this you just gotta preach it.

343i definitely made the right call by lowering he Plasma Caster REQ level. As for Scourge of Fire, that thing can be a monster when used to full effect!

I noticed this as well, cheap request for so many powerful shots, even the standard uncommon is good, you will actually see yourself doing damage, feel good on those grunt much too, good for all actually
