X12 Plasmacaster

Plasma rifle should be a pinnacle of energy weapons, a breakthrough in pre-war infantry armaments, and what do we get? A bunch of pipes glued together in form of something that look like it could break if touch a wall or something. So, I wanted to make something that will look like proper military issue plasma gun. Took some inspiration from Doom and a bit of other sci-fi and here we are.

With this gun you'll get a simple plasma rifle, a shotgun, a sniper rifle and a smart rifle with homing projectiles - all depending on currently installed barrel. Also it features an alternative fire mode - attach the Overcharge module to lower rail and you'll be able to activate it and shoot explosive projectiles, also depending on installed barrel - single lobber with carbine barrel, multiple lesser lobbers with splitter, propelled grenade with accelerator and homing propelled grenade with targeting barrel.

Damage output just slightly above vanilla plasma rifle (192+192 vs 180+180 with top attachments on maxed gun perk).

A huge thank you to all people who supported me after the AER15 release! You and only you made development of this mod possible, your support has been a really big help for me! I'm going through some dark times now, but your help gave me some light in the end of the tunnel and with it hopefully I'll be able to get rid of my issues around the end of 2021, and I really looking forward to it :)

And of course a huge thank you to my Patrons! I've started a Patreon page only recently, but you're already supporting the work I'm doing and I appreciate that very much! More guns ahead :D

Of course me starting a Patreon doesn't mean my future weapons will be paywalled, I'll still release everything I'm doing on the Nexus for free, Patrons are getting early access to beta work-in-progress builds, voting polls, some other odds and ends. Check it out if you're curious or if you want to support the future developments:
