Overview

Design details

Main article: Rohakadu-pattern plasma pistol

The Unbound Plasma Pistol is a modified variant of the standard Rohakadu-pattern plasma pistol. In addition to having a white chassis instead of the standard purple coloration, it fires faster, stronger bolts, and its scaled burst fires six bolts instead of a single overcharge bolt; the bolts detonate in a "supercombine" explosion if they hit the same target.[3]

Usage

One such weapon was used by Briglard, an Unggoy High Sumpter in the Banished during the campaign on Installation 07 in 2559-2560.[4] During the campaign, he used the weapon in a combat encounter with John-117, though was defeated by the Spartan.[5]

In-game information

It fires faster, stronger bolts. In addition, its scaled burst fires six bolts instead of a single overcharge bolt; the bolts detonate in a "supercombine" explosion if they hit the same target.[2][3]
