| Plasma Pistol |
.png) Our research into the alien's plasma based weaponry is among the most advanced and dangerous work we've undertaken so far. The most difficult question surrounding the use of plasma... how to maintain an adequate power supply in the field, was solved by the Elerium-based power cells recovered from the aliens. The heat sinks developed using their materials have also proven to be the answer to proper heat dissipation along the weapon's barrel. With this knowledge in hand, we should now be able to use any plasma pistols we've captured from the invaders, as well as begin manufacturing variants of our own design. |

- Like all pistols, the Plasma Pistol is attached to the right thigh of the soldier.
- The Plasma Pistol, like all other sidearms, does not require reloading.
- It is useful as a backup weapon, especially for Sniper, whose Gunslinger ability increases the damage of all pistols by 2. A Sniper with Gunslinger and Double Tap firing a Plasma Pistol with Improved Pistol III can discharge two shots of 8 Base Damage (12 Critical Damage), better than a Support firing a single shot of a Plasma Rifle (7 Base Damage).
