Subject: Embarrassing to discover....

In firefight, 1 to 2 (depending on round/wave) charged Plasma Pistol shots kill an engineer. Probably does the same in ODST campaign but I rarely had/tried to kill them without a power weapon anyway.

Didn't have enough ammo for my other weapon to take it down normally, but had a Plasma Pistol. Decided to over charge it and see what happened. Engineer went boom.

What difficulty? Sounds useful...

I was playing on easy. May take more on the higher difficulties. But Plasma Pistols are so common that even if it takes more shots, I'd rather use those things up than the other weapons.

Nope it does it because Bungie stated that engineers kill themselves when they loose thier shields to prevent capture by Humans.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Its always been a good go to.

"As a child, I thought I could live without pain, without sorrow
As a man, I've found it's all caught up with me
I'm asleep, yet I'm so afraid"

Dunno if Mythic factors in, but Engineers die from an overcharged Plasma Pistol shot on any difficulty.

Actually, they are reluctantly doomed to death. When their shields go down, the electronic device attached to them forces them to explode. The Engineers feverishly try to worm out of the suit, and then explode.

When playing FF in ODST, a plasma pistol is a very good idea to keep, for Engineers on Chasm Ten or choppers on Lost Platoon ;)
Not to mention brutes and other enemies ^^
