Plasma Shotgun

"The perfect marriage between between a shotgun and an energy-based weapon."

- User description about Plasma Shotgun

The Plasma Shotgun is a new weapon introduced in the Ghostbusters Event. This gun has 4 ammo and costs 525 gold.

Similar to the Automatic Shotgun, this weapon leave bullet holes for a few seconds when they hit an object like a wall. This weapon is the second weapon that can do so.

Strategy
Among all the energy weapons, this weapon seems to be the best if used effectively. The Plasma Shotgun deals insane damage in medium to close range. However, it deals nearly no damage in long range when the crosshairs are red. The Plasma Shotgun has a small amount of ammo, meaning that it can easily be emptied very quickly due to its automatic firing function. Use 21% agility for maximum effect. Get as close as you can because of its low damage output at long range. The Plasma Shotgun is also a powerful energy weapon to take down the Ghost and the Slimer. It also does two times (2x) the damage to the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man during the Ghostbusters 30th (Event).

Advantages

 * Nice fire rate.
 * Quick reload speed.
 * Can run pretty quick when equipping this weapon
 * Mostly insta kills targets in close range. Also can "shut-down" other close range weapon players.
 * Powerful against ghosts in the Ghostbusters 30th (Event).

Disadvantages

 * Small ammo capacity (4 rounds).
 * Inaccurate and has a bad range, inflicting weak damage towards players at medium range.
 * Ineffective against players wearing the Ghostbusters Jacket.
 * The price of the gun is not worth it at all, even if the gun is somewhat decent.
 * Very expensive.
 * Although It is an energy weapon, it doesn't slow people down.

Trivia

 * The Plasma Shotgun is the second most expensive weapon costing at 525 gold, the first being the Dual Revolvers costing a whopping 600 gold.
 * It is the first energy shotgun in the game, and it is also the first energy weapon to able to perform 1 shot kills (Noisy Cricket doesn't count as an energy weapon).
 * The sound of the Plasma Shotgun reuses Noisy Cricket's sound.
 * If you have enough gold to buy Plasma Shotgun, it is suggested to buy the Double Barrel Shotgun instead as the Plasma Shotgun is not nearly as good as the Double Barrel Shotgun.
 * The Plasma Shotgun isn't based on anything. Therefore, it is an original weapon of Respawnables.
 * Unlike most non-explosive energy weapons.It doesn't slow the targets down.
