DUST Search - Using the Plasma Cannon

Run a good sidearm or a mando. Use it to open engangements on unaware targets. If you've been jumped stay calm and learn how to lead different targets. Fstties require less lead. Assaults require a bit. Scouts, don't even bother. Aim for their feet because few scouts shields can survive the splash damage.

Sidearms are really important. Make sure you can use it well. NO I REPEAT NO NOVA KNIVES UNLESS YOU ARE A MINJA. Plasma cannon nova knife is only good on them due to their speed.

Just shoot it. A lot . In cities when you are alone practice by picking targets or possible paths enemies can take and practice aiming and shooting .

Vehicles are harder than infantry. Your easiest target is an unaware cluster of reds. Next is the unaware tank. Then sentinel. Then logisticia. Then scout. Commandos and assaults will wreck your plasma if they are even half decent at somewhat aware of your weakness.( primary weapon is a one hit wonder)

The closer your target the better. Long range sniping takes a lot more practice and requires hives. Did I mention hives ? Use them. A fully maxed plasma desnt need them but beginner would.

I know its a lot. Sorry. But I know how to plasma and love to share the knowledge I learned the hard way.

How many amarr does it take to change a light bulb? none. The minmatar do it for them

If I do skill into it,anyone can give me advice on the art of PLC? it looks like it will be a fun weapon to play around with How many amarr does it take to change a light bulb? none.

We are 138 TRUE TEA BAGGERS 774	Posted - 2015.03.04 09:12:00 - [3] - Quote Its also good to use as an alpha strike weapon. Even if you miss a good chance is the splash is gonna strip your targets shields then you can nail them with your side arm, smgs are very nasty vs armor Hello? any one there?

Skill up reload speed as a priority. Imho works best with Gal commando, altho I understand a scout works well too. If you like Pyrex, he has done quite a few vids with a plc on a scoot fit. I like to use it best when reds lateral movement is restricted in a "corridor" as the plasma ball can be side-steeped.

Would be nice if I can get these without hostility Shoot where the target will be [at range] At closer distance shoot closer to the target. Overall, practise. The key is to feel the flight trajectory of the bullet [plasma shot]. See?

Sequal's Back Dead Man's Game RUST415 340	Posted - 2015.03.04 13:26:00 - [8] - Quote I use dual plc on galmando and it is actually quite effective! Learn to find good timings using curves. There's a little lag that you have to manage when shooting on moving targets (shoot a bit in front of them). If you go against multiple enemies, always focus the one who stands still (if there's one), or the most dangerous one. Rush only with your teamates, and try to stay on high grounds, it considerably helps! Rise? That's what they used to call me. Sequal Rise. That was my name. Now I come Back to you, at the turn of the tide.

Most sentinels will survive a direct plc blast with enough time to get you with the death hose. If you are going to take on a heavy, especially one with a logi, open with a flux or be prepared to switch to a side arm immediately after firing.

While slow to anger and occasionally indecisive, they are also capable of harnessing enormous resolve when truly tested.

Practice on rooftop campers, practice on snipers, practice on hacking redberries Soon, you will become one with the fourth state of matter and reach the fourth state of awareness, an ionized zen where you will acquire stationary targets in a second and hit them directly on your first try every time
