The Plasma Blaster is a Heavy Weapon in XCOM 2. Like all heavy weapons, it can only be mounted on heavy armors or SPARK and has 1 ammo charge per mission.

This weapon is very similar in function to the Psi Operative's Null Lance ability, and should be used similarly. The Plasma Blaster will fire a large plasma blast in a straight line 1 tile wide (3 if used by a SPARK with the Rainmaker perk) and 25 tiles long, piercing all targets. It deals high damage, and will ignore 4 armor points. It is useful for dealing damage against armored pod leaders and taking out support troops in the process.

Ability[]

Plasma Blaster: Fire your Plasma Blaster.

In-Game Description[]

Using technology adapted from the aliens' own plasma weaponry, we've devised a means of releasing a massive, focused pulse of plasma energy that will devastate targets in a fixed path.

Tactical Info[]

  • The Plasma Blaster releases a beam of devastating energy in a straight line, capable of damaging multiple enemies.
  • Its ammo is limited, so use it only when it will be decisive.
