The Plasma Punch is the 20th weapon available; added during the Elysium Update.
Strategy[]
Made almost like a Melee Weapon this Launcher consists of decent damage and range, great accuracy, rate of fire, reload speed and amazing agility, all at the cost of its energy orbs (projectiles) which not only have greatly reduced splash, but also come with a mediocre travel speed, and removes the handlers auto-aim. In a brawl with even moderately built enemies, the user can be swept under by their own attacks or the opponents.
Factoring out the misses with this weapon, it is best used in Run And Gun, where the carrier can go in arm up blasting at nearby enemies - continually using a Circle around to avoid receiving a blow back. Either from close or afar, this hand cannon is weakened by Shotguns, Assault Weapons, and Water Weapons.
