The Heavy Plasma is a powerful squad support weapon but light enough that some squads have issued the weapon to half their members.

The 30 rounds are usually more than sufficient for the typical engagement.
Pros: High stopping power. High penetration power. Light weight. Spare clips and in fact almost fully loaded guns are pentiful by mid game. Pick them up off the floor.
Cons: Not as accurate as laser rifle. Uses up more of 80 item limit than lase rifle, and doesn't have infinite ammo.
