Arca Plasmor

The Arca Plasmor is a -built plasma shotgun that fires highly damaging pulses of with a guaranteed proc. The projectiles it fires are wide and have infinite Punch Through on bodies, making it highly effective in mowing down large groups of enemies, but suffers from a low critical multiplier and no bonus damage on headshots.
==Characteristics==
*This weapon deals high amounts of damage.
*Shots have a guaranteed proc to enemies up to 14 meters.
**Distance is affected by Projectile Speed.
*Killed enemies will have their corpses vaporized, good for Stealth gameplay if silenced with due to no bodies being left behind.
**Enemies defeated with this weapon disintegrate quickly, making it ill-suited to use alongside ' .
*Two innate polarities.
*Low zoom, making covering wide shots while aiming easier.
==Acquisition==
The Arca Plasmor's blueprint can be researched from the Energy Lab in the dojo.
==Notes==
*Being that it is a pulse shotgun, accuracy mods seem to have no effect on spread.
** however throws off accuracy by making shots veer wildly off from the aiming reticle at times, use at your own discretion.
***This can be counteracted somewhat with , which will cause the weapon to fire 2-3 waves of energy.
***Vicious Spread can also be counteracted by using Mirages' ability, do note that projectiles fired by the clones bounce off solid surfaces instead of dissipating.
***A possible bug, does not counteract Vicious Spread's accuracy decrease in any reasonable measure. Meaning that if you install both, the accuracy will still be significantly lower.
*The Plasmor's pulse has a range of 30m. This scales with Projectile Speed mods, including the augment.
*Shots will only proc if the target is within 14m.
*The Plasmor has a reduced zoom by about 60% when aiming.
*While the critical chance of the weapon is good, the critical damage is only slightly better than normal.
== Known Bugs ==
* is multiplicative to base damage sources on direct hits.
==Tips==
*Due to its innate body punch-through, the Plasmor is of great use in Arbitrations, easily passing through shielded enemies to get to shield drones.
*Because the range and damage falloff are determined by the weapon's Projectile Speed, adding in will increase the range and falloff limits by 40%, to 14m minimum falloff and 28m maximum falloff as well as increasing the range to 42m.
*Due to its innate damage, the weapon can use elementals and dual elementals that use or damage, such as VS Grineer or VS Corpus.
*Short corridors favor this weapon highly, as a few pulses are normally enough to make short work of enemy clusters as long as no Arctic Eximus or Nullifier Crewmen are present, and the added Impact and Radiation procs will keep enemies at bay.
*The description of surviving enemies being "consumed by radiation" simply means that their bodies will disintegrate on death. While this is undesirable for a Nekros's , it is good for stealth if silenced since there will be no corpses to alert enemies.
*It is exceedingly easy to perform headshots with this weapon. Although it has 1x headshot multiplier (meaning it does no extra damage), this can be increased using .
==Trivia==
*The magazine for the weapon is a metal cylinder, which rotates clockwise after firing each shot and pumping the mechanism. No shells are ejected with each pump, perhaps implying the cylinder is filled with batteries or charge cells, which are depleted from a single pump and must be rotated to bring a new cell into position.
*Writings on the side of the weapon seem to translate as "G.S.1.1", and possibly "DANGER EXTREME HEAT".
