is there really a difference,besides the color?


yea the difference is the brute plasma rifle is stronger but it overheats faster and the plasma rifle is a little weaker but it shoots longer i prefer the plasma rifle because it shoot longer i dont have to worry about the overheat as much

If you don't hold down the trigger you won't have that problem, try pulsing it. I prefer the brute because it shoots faster, It's not really stronger, it just seems that way because your getting hit alot more.

Plasma Rifles are sexy, i wish we still had plasma wars in matchmaking, oh good times good times

The fact that the Brute plasma rifle shoots faster and has higher damage per hits makes it more useful at longer ranges then the Elite plasma rifle. It also in my opinion looks and feels cooler then the Elite plasma rifle. However its faster over heating can be very cumbersome in a combat situation.

The Plasma Rifle is more energy efficient, but less powerful, the Brute Plasma Rifle is more powerful, but less energy efficient.

Well, what I normally do when I'm presented with the challenge, is dual weild em. It looks cool, firing red and blue balls (haha, blue balls!.. okay, I'll stop) of burning DEATH! But if I had to choose one, it'd be just good old Mr. Regular Joe Plasma Rifle, but because it's a classic.

I agree. dual weilding them is a beast of a combo. But i would prefer the plasma rifle just beacause it doesn't overheat as fast. Even if you do pulse the rate of fire with the brute plasma rifle, when fighting someone you tend to put the trigger all the way down

I prefer BPR, because you can use it to take down someone's shields rapidly, and then kill them with another dual-wield weapon or another single-wield weapon.

I like the BPR. It takes down the shield just as fast as a Plasma Pistol Charge. It can shoot for a long time if you pulse it which makes it almost unstoppable.
