Okarda'phaa-pattern plasma rifle: Difference between revisions

In ''Halo: Reach'' the Plasma Rifle, like the other plasma weapons in the game, have been dramatically redesigned and retooled to function closer to their ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' versions. The Plasma Rifle makes a very prominent appearance in the campaign and is wielded by Sangheili, Unggoy and occassionally Kig-Yar. The weapon is available in Forge but is not placed on any multiplayer map by default excluding community maps. This weapon also replaced the [[Needler]] for the {{Armor Lock]] [[loadout]] in [[Elite Slayer]]. The weapon appears to fire faster but still not as fast as the [[Type-51 Directed Energy Rifle/Improved|Plasma Repeater]]. The weapons animations are far more detailed and are meant to give it a more menacing and dangerous look. Like the Plasma Pistol the design of the weapon has changed considerably from previous games, The grip has been altered, and appears to be more ergonomic (to Elites at least) and now sports a darker blue color.
