It may seem like a less than impressive weapon vote at first glance, but there is absolutely nothing you cannot destroy with a plasma pistol.
For the first year or so that I played, I never picked on up. As I was looking to make the game more challenging I figured that arming myself with the least potent weapons on legendary was a good starting point. Damn if I was not blown away by the incredible flexibility and power of the lowly plasma pistol.
It is a great short range weapon with its quick rate of fire and it is accurate to boot. An overcharge followed by a burst from an AR can ruin an elites day.
For medium range, single shot or the homing overcharged shot, it is one of the best around.
For long range use, it is a blast to watch the shot descend to its target. You can use a PP to ping away at things you might normally need a sniper rifle for.
You can take out any covie vehicle in the game with a PP, as a matter of fact it is a real test of skill. Try taking out a Banshee with a PP, then try to do it without losing any health! It will test your abilities in a serious way.
It is funny, now when I want to challenge myself, I DO NOT allow myself to use it!I have to completely agree with that, too. If I don't have a Sniper then I have a Plasma Pistol.
