Plinx is a Corpus semi-automatic, battery-powered laser pistol with the ability to auto-refill its ammo passively similar to the 
Cycron. Possessing excellent critical chance and critical multiplier stats, this comes at the cost of a low status chance and very low ammunition.
Characteristics[]
- This weapon deals primarily
Puncture damage and has innate Heat damage. - Does not use ammo pickups; ammo regenerates over time.

Tips[]
- Because the 10 shots count as part of a single magazine rather than an ammo pool, mods like Trick Mag have no effect. Magazine increasing mods like Ice Storm, Slip Magazine, or Tainted Clip could be used instead but these mods have far less potency.
- In addition, the recharge rate is also fast enough to the point where increasing this recharge speed and delay has diminishing returns, offering little effect at the cost of a slot.
Trivia[]
- The name likely refers to "plinking," a slang term for recreational target shooting.
- The weapon’s gameplay is most likely modelled after the Derringer type of pistol, known for typically having a small caliber and low ammo capacity, which is reflected in its stats. However, the Lato Prime is more visually similar to the Derringer Pistol in design than the Plinx.
- The Plinx is famously featured during the TennoCon/2021 showcase of The New War, as it is the only available gun to Corpus engineer Veso-R who, commenting on the weapon as rather unremarkable, has to equally rely on his command of proxies in order to comply with his superior Alad V's orders.
- In the second part of The New War quest itself, the gun indeed gets used by Veso himself.
