*A second method which can block the noob combo is to hit the discharged shot with a [[grenade]]. [[Plasma Grenade|Plasma]] and [[Frag Grenade|Frag Grenades]] both work. It is argued that a plasma grenade is better, because it is a glowing ball of energy that the discharged bolt will home in , while some believe that Frags are better because they fly through the air faster.  The Plasma Pistol overcharge may also set off a Frag Grenade that is thrown at it, injuring the person attempting to block the overcharge.

Both the dual wielding and grenade method works and it is about preference on which to use.

*Another tactic, which should only be used as a last resort, is to lob a fragmentation grenade in the direction of the blast and then crouch.  While the person using the combo is attempting to line up a headshot (slowed down slightly by you crouching, the frag grenade should knock them off balance long enough for your shields to recharge a bit or kill them if you're really lucky). Don't use a plasma grenade because you want an explode-on-impact grenade.
