Plinx

Corpus

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.

CharacteristicsEdit

This weapon deals primarily Puncture damage and has innate Heat damage.

Advantages

• High Puncture damage – effective against armor.
• Innate Heat damage – effective against Cloned Flesh, Infested, and Infested Flesh.
• Second highest critical chance of all pistols, behind Akbolto Prime.
• Tied with Aksomati and Spira Prime for the second highest critical multiplier of all pistols, behind Nukor.
• Very high accuracy.
• Does not use ammo pickups; ammo regenerates over time.
  • Has a 1-second delay after the weapon stops firing before regenerating ammo.
    • Regenerates 10 ammo per second; takes 1 second to regenerate a fully depleted battery.

Disadvantages

• No Slash and Impact damage – less effective against health and shields.
  • Damage cannot be increased with Slash or Impact mods.
• Innate Heat damage – less effective against Proto Shield.
• Very low status chance.
• Low magazine size.
• Shots have limited range.
• Does not benefit from mods that increase maximum ammo, due to lack of an ammo pool.

TipsEdit

• Plinx's 20 meter beam range is merely a visual effect. The beams can deal damage to enemies up to at least 100m.
• 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 must be used, and 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.

TriviaEdit

• 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.
