Hello,

Want to know How I started using the plasma cannon?

.. I'm very tired of this QQ. I will spec into the f**king plasma cannon just so I don't have to be afraid it's going to be nerfed by no good qq'ers that can't accept that they get killed by another weapon except the one they use.

Not exactly the best reason but I eventually stuck to it in part because I bought 100 of them and because I made a two week bet with a friend and after that it just sort of stuck. I love the weapon and it's mastery takes care of most of it's flaws. I'm still trying to master it and there are much better users like Chit happened and Roldrage (creater of cannon fever) out there. What I try to do with the plasma cannon is give an overview of the weapon and show people that even though it's the black sheep of weapons in DUST, it can do wonders if you'r skilled enough. If you think I'm lying about the possible utility of the weapon, you can go to the link in my signature and see that it's possible to use such a hard weapon. YOU just need skill and practice...

Anyway. Why do you prefer the weapon you use?

Please refrain from fighting about which weapon is better because obviously mine is bigger than yours. Don't ask for buffs on your weapon and don't say a weapon is underpowered. Just say what you use and why.

Ive always been a Semi Auto user or On the run Sniper user, ive used the Tac back in Chromosone when it was still very much Teh S*ck, then the Tac got upgraded and it blew people away by the dozen.

So i chose the new SCR back when it launched and let go of the OP Tac because i dont want to run FOTM to win but i do want to use a Semi Auto weapon.

Hence Imperial SCR

Chit Hoppened Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendors 116	Posted - 2013.10.31 14:45:00 - [32] - Quote I use the Plasma Cannon on a Logi because I wanted to do something super crazy. I ****** around with the Cannon on my CEO's alt when it first came out and I hated it. I came back to it around 1.4 (I think?) with this guy and decided, if I was going to master this weapon, I need a sidearm-less suit. My original plan with this guy was the GalMand'oh (which I am still going to do) but I will NEVER get rid of my Cannon. I hope it stays the cult classic weapon it is.

Still wish laser weapons in DUST never needed to be reloaded, but oh well, they still let me pew pew. Mass Driver - It is a fragmentation grenade launcher with a damn decent rate of fire... what's not to like? My squad seems to like the flushing effect the MD has on reds behind cover.
XANDER KAG Red Star. EoN. 424	Posted - 2013.10.31 14:54:00 - [34] - Quote The SCR because I tried it out on an alt and fell in love. Gets really annoying when I find shot gunners though. Who says you can't kill in style? Fear the tribes.

My goodness is the HMG in Dust514 far away from an real life MG. Been trying out other weapons on my alts, but meh... The plasma cannon is cool, might specc into it and use on my heavy main char when the forge gun gets nerfed.

Scrambler Pistol : Well as a Amarr Logi using Mass driver that's the best weapon to "deshield" enemies and also to execute ennemies taking a point. Fast to reload it's a great sidearms. Oh and i love amarr weapons and Dropsuits.

I've had a fascination with trajectory oriented weapons ever since Worms on the PC (Scorched Earth was before my time). There's a certain satisfaction when you lob something at a target far off and it goes boom, and I don't get the same kick from rifle type weapons. I used the grenade launcher in Quake. I was a Demoman in Team Fortress, Team Fortress Classic, and Team Fortress 2. I used the Thumper in Planetside. I use the Mass Driver in Dust. When things go boom, I get happy.

Roldrage The Plasma Cannon Doctrine 235	Posted - 2013.10.31 17:48:00 - [45] - Quote Used to use AR, got bored. Respecced into the scr, got bored again. Then tried the plasma cannon after hearing that it's a fun gimmick weapon, hated it at first but after a few matches I started getting good scores (and some early recognition on the forums) so I started using it more and spending more SP on it until it became my main weapon choice.

I chose the knives because I wanted to skill into something new, I loved them. The smg because I like all the rounds and fiire rate. I want a pistol now. I like semi-auto weapons.
dustwaffle The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 621	Posted - 2013.11.01 02:39:00 - [47] - Quote Definitely the plasma cannon, for reasons similar to the OP. Initially had AR 5 AR prof 4, decided that I wanted to spend my pooled SP to try different weapons and went for stuff not often used (AR/MD were prevalent). Put some SP into plasma cannon, scrambler rifle, and fell in love with the PLC, although the ScR is fun too!

Cass Caul Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 213	Posted - 2013.11.01 03:13:00 - [49] - Quote Sniper/Scrambler Pistol: Because when I started there were 4 suits to choose from and I loved the Arbiter suit. When I first started all I spent my SP on was making the equipment on the Arbiter suit better. Shotgun: because I got the merc pack and it came with HK4Ms, it was fun and I wanted to continue that fun after 50 deaths. Laser Rifle: Because I wanted to kill everyone without having to try in ambush too! mmm manus peak ambush, that bowl! Mass Driver: because I loved playing the demo-man on team fortress classic and team fortress 2. Flaylock: because it was OP, because it has 0 PG, because it USED TO deter Dropships from crushing me or Assualt Dropships from shooting me while sniping, and because it is good for uplink distruction Plasma Cannon: Because having a 6-person squad of just plasma cannons with Kujo was some the best times in Hellstorm. SMG: Because Aim Assist turned it from a good sidearm into THE BEST sidearm. Scrambler Rifle: Because CCP said, "**** you snipers, we hate you... but we still love Forge Guns, Mass Drivers, and Rail Tanks sniping." The charge shot is the best part, makes it a more mobile Sniper Rifle that can do CQC yep, those are my weapons with Proficiency 3+ and the reasons why
Fizzer94 L.O.T.I.S. Public Disorder. 712	Posted - 2013.11.01 03:14:00 - [50] - Quote I started as an AR scrub, but that got too easy real fast. I stopped feeling accomplished while using them. So I moved on to ScRs, but I got used to them as well. I still feel accomplished with them, but I was getting bored. Now I'm using Placons, I honestly don't think these things will ever become easy.

low genius The Sound Of Freedom Renegade Alliance 797	Posted - 2013.11.01 03:18:00 - [51] - Quote laser rifle. makes me feel like i'm playing eve. you have to 'kite' ar users to keep them in your optimal range (70+), and to keep you out of their optimal (up to 65 or so). I think it's a really useful position to play outside of an objective, and keeps you at a proper scan distance from your run and gun squad-mates.

Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 1140	Posted - 2013.11.01 03:34:00 - [53] - Quote HMG is my favorite. I think it's a Jesse Ventura thing from my childhood. I have every weapon to 3 or better just for the sake of coming back and killing my last assassin with their weapon of choice - in better fashion. But, that was the choice of a very blue noob with much to learn. When those respecs come around, I will thin out my selection in favor of better variants for my go-to weapons. Cheeseburgers.

I chose the scr rifle because I knew it was a weapon that requires some skill.... and also fell in love when I saw first preview of it :)

Heathen Bastard The Bastard Brigade 671	Posted - 2013.11.01 03:56:00 - [58] - Quote the pistols. I'm always the pistol guy. doesn't matter what I play, I'm always going to have a pistol if it's an option. waiting for the rail pistol and blaster pistols to be released. didn't like the flaylocks. EDIT: also, any heavy weaponry I can lay hands on. tanks, the HMG/forge, ramship(shield hardened dropship, used to ram better ones out of the sky for spite and lols.) if it makes a big boom or has a higher RPS than my health, expect to see me lugging it around at some point.

I was a TAC user even in Mordu's, all the way up until Chrome, when the made the TAC a joke. That is when I went laser and when THAT got turned into another joke, I went SCR with my respec and never looked back. Imperial ftmfw!
