CODEX

Cultivate a meaningful relationship with this deceptively simple battery-powered pistol. The Plinx rewards attention and investment from the wise.

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.

Advantages

• High  Puncture damage – effective against armor.
• Innate  Heat damage – effective against Cloned Flesh, Infested, and Infested Flesh.
• Tied with  Athodai for the third highest critical chance of all pistols, behind  Akbolto Prime and fully charged  Epitaph.
• Tied with  Aksomati/ Aksomati Prime and  Spira Prime for the third highest critical multiplier of all pistols, behind  Nukor and  Kuva Nukor.
• Very high accuracy.
• Does not use ammo pickups; ammo regenerates over time.
  • Has a 0.8 second delay after the weapon stops firing before regenerating ammo.
    • Regenerates 20 ammo per second; takes 0.5 seconds 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.
• Does not receive benefit from reload-triggered mods such as Pressurized Magazine.

Acquisition

The Plinx's blueprint can be purchased from the Market.

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.
