The Tri Barrel Plasma Rifle is an Energy Shotgun added in the former 'Special Agent Set', during the Movie Update. It would be rendered a rarity weapon after the Easter Update of 2021.

Strategy[]

One of the first Energy Weapons available for rookies, and as expected though, its damage, range, and reload speed make it a massive loss to these players as it insists on being used at mid-range and mid-range only, to far and the projectile explodes to soon, to close and the splash damage can catch users off guard. Because of these drawbacks this is considered one of most balanced weapons, so far as to say underbalanced! With that covered though this weapon is still better than most splash-based energy weapons like the Plasma Punch, but compared to more recent Energy Shotguns, like Thunderstruck, it lacks in almost every category.

What it does have is agility, splash damage, and decent accuracy despite what the weapon attributes suggest. Keeping that in mind, then this weapon works best in a Camping Ambush strategy, take sanctuary above & behind buildings & barriers, using them to peak around corners, blasting enemies that get to close. Avoid defensive builds though, as the bane of this weapon, and a large portion of other weapons is increased health and/or damage reduction making it very hard to defeat these opponents.

Trivia[]

  • Despite the fact that the rifle is "tri-barreled", it shoots only one plasma orb at a time.
    • This weapon is classified as a shotgun even though it's stated to be a rifle.
  • Whenever the user spam reloads, the gun will experience its reload speed glitch; making the animation execute at -50% for 2.8s, then sped up by 100% in the final 1.2s.

That glitch in action.

    • Strangely, this glitch did have a former sequence, forcing the base animation to slow by 50% for its entirety as well as its sfx.
    • Regardless of these errors, users will always receive their next magazine within the base time of this shotgun (2.9s); in addition, using reload buffing equipment will still apply.
  • It is a shell of itself compared to the first movie in which it was featured, this weapon atomized Edgar the Bug's lower torso in a single shot, and furthermore it was used to destroy an advanced alien spaceship in a single shot, creating a massive blast radius[1].
