The ''White Scar'' is an Ultra Rare Level 5 REQ that restores 150 REQ Points to the player's RP balance when sold. It operates exactly identically to the standard Plasma Caster, although its projectiles have a [[Type-56 needler|Needler]] fragmentation effect and will proximity detonate if hipfired. Each bolt of the ''White Scar'' discharges between 10 and 14 needles upon exploding, while charged shots conjure six explosions that occur 8.75 seconds after impact (one second if proximity detonation), and have a proximity blast radius of 9.18 m (30.12 ft). The needles fragment themselves towards enemies, including heavy armor and vehicles, and will trigger a supercombine explosion when [[seven]] of them strike an enemy at once. These traits make the ''White Scar'' a powerful tool for setting up traps to ambush and kill unsuspecting enemies, especially in tight areas.<ref name="H5G"/><ref name="H5G-Aozolai"/> | The ''White Scar'' is an Ultra Rare Level 5 [[Requisition system|REQ]] that restores 150 REQ Points to the player's RP balance when sold.
