Why does the plasma rifle have overheating set to on?

It can't build up enough heat in a single clip to overheat, and the cooling is so quick that overheating it is (almost) impossible.

I have my theories, but I would like to know if the current devs have any clue for the reason?

Go down and you will see Heat Management Attributes.

I'm surprised the AR doesn't over heat since blasters usually tend to done Thermal damage as their primary..... while lasers only do it as a secondary......

CQC fighters, overheating = Death.

Which is why the Ion Pistol is shite

I fight up close all the time with the AScR so don't tell me it can't be done...... It over heats and I man up like a real armour tanker should and just tank until the over heat is done.

Gallente whine while Amarr shine!

Uhh...
What?

With the Amarr Assault the ASCR can't even overheat Straight

It's not a conventional overheat Also the advantage of the Krins is dat hipfire yo It's not a conventional overheat. You can still switch weapons I believe and it doesn't deal feedback damage. So it overheats but it does not seize up. Just as long as the dice keep rollin, the hoes keep hoein, and the money keeps flowin!

In the case of the AR the overheating just means you can't do anything but run about for a second or so. No burn fingers. It is easy enough to do too, all you need to do is fire a full mag without stopping. Fun > Realism
