Figure out the trajectory and it's not too hard to land body shots. Only things I think need improving are clip size and splash radius.

But you see that's stupid if you make using a Caldari suit the most efficient way to use a Gallente weapon.

Do you use dmg mods with it? I tried them and it doesn't seem to help too much.

Damage mods are needed for sure. The problem is like you said, it still only does enough damage to kill militias and scouts. And this is a prototype weapon with with full efficiency and a complex damage mod. The Duvolle Assault Rifle does 37.4 damage. 37.4 x 1.25 = 46.75. So let's figure out how many bullets it would take to equal that splash damage, 391.25 / 46.75 = 8 bullets roughly. Since it fires at 750 RPM, that would take about .64 seconds. Now considering the Allotek Plasma Cannon has a 0.6 second charge up, add the 25% reduction and it's now .45 seconds. So .64 seconds - .45 seconds = .19 seconds.

So really, for 2 tenths of a second more you could of done the same thing with an assault rifle, plus the assault rifle will keep on going where as plasma cannon needs to reload. And yes I know the assault rifle should be better at straight up assault, but come on right now as it is the plasma cannon has no use other than looking cool on the battlefield. And I'm with you that you can make it work. I've made it work too, but I would of done much better with anything else in hand. If CCP doesn't want to tweak the damage then they need to expand the blast radius, because it should have a bonus in hitting multiple people in groups at once, but right now unless they are hugging eachother it's not going to happen.

Also it does appear this weapon is intended for use against infantry. Quoting from the in-game description,
"primarily for use in urban operations and confined space combat."

Id just like to inject this.

this weapon appears to be great at destroying Armour but not shields. So I stuck some flux grenades on my fit. this works great at groups of people, lob in a flux grenade to wipe they're shield, then follow up with a well aimed shot from the PLC at the centre of the group. I was getting multiple kills like this. Although if there was anyone left, i usually bought the farm, lol.

Also, great as a support weapon, and suppression. Id like to +1 at whoever suggested that it needs a splash radius buff, or if not this then at least increasing the hit radius. Hit detection for this weapon isnt great and unless you hit dead centre mass it just passes by your target, oh and one more thing. Sometimes, unless you hit the floor, the target takes no damage. Ive hit walls directly behind people only to have them take absolutely no damage.

Thanks for this guide, really insightful!

I'm taking the optional respec, and am staying as shottie scout, going for Flaylock as sidearm. Instead of using Swarms for AV as my secondary scout fit, PLC sounds great - as someone else above posted, I've also been quite underwhelmed with Swarm Launchers.



Good tactic!

What about minmatar medium or light frame? Minmatar light suit has the fastest speed in the game.

Level 3 gal logi and 3 complex armor reps give a little over 21 HP/s, if you are good at evasion then it is hard to beat. No sidearm and the charge/ reload time makes it difficult to get off more than one shot in cqc and the glowing ball of white-hot-death let's everyone know where you are. HAVs like that and fire back.

How would the PC do with an Amarr Assault suit?

I'm assuming I could through on a plate, repper, and kincat, with damage mods in the highs and then the PC/Flaylock for the weapons.
