  • The Plasma Cannon is a weapon in Red Faction: Armageddon.

    Description

    Plasma weapons were not new even to the scientists of the 22nd century. The state of matter that these firearms deployed became super-charged, potent and unbelievably powerful - so much so, in fact, that the first designs had a tendency to explode. It wasn't until Red Faction techs designed the Plasma Cannon that such devices were deemed to be safe. A proper "bolt" of plasma could penetrate objects with destructive force while unleashing multiple explosions along its firing path. Plasma could additionally be charged within the housing of the cannon itself, allowing for even more powerful explosions.

    When you need to kill or destroy something fast, call on the Plasma Cannon. This is one of the most powerful weapons available, capable of punching through thick concrete and steel, not to mention enemies. Before firing, you must hold down the trigger to produce the plasma bolt. A blue orb of plasma appears at the tip of the barrel when it's ready to fire. Release the trigger to send it flying at your target. The plasma bolt travels in a straight line, penetrating anything in its path and setting off small explosions with each solid object it encounters. Initially you can only carry a few shots for this weapon, so make each shot count. Use the Plasma Cannon when confronting durable enemies like Monoliths, Berserkers or Behemoths. The weapon is equally effective against structures, particularly in Ruin Mode.
