However, the real use of the Pulse Rifle comes from its alternate fire mode: the proximity mine launcher. Whether it's enemies like the Brute, which require you to hit several weak points repeatedly, or bosses like The Leviathon, with vulnerabilities that only emerge briefly, the Pulse Rifle is great at firing at a large target and inflicting consistent damage. This may change in the final stages of development or later in a patch.Considering you can (and should) upgrade the Plasma Cutter to become a powerful damage dealer and that the game gives you a good amount of Plasma Cutter Ammo, this should be the centrepiece of your arsenal.Īcquired during Chapter 2, the Pulse Rifle is a versatile jack-of-all-trades weapon that's useful for dealing significant damage quickly. Since both weapons on a gun are reloaded at the same time, using half the ammo in both guns (or other combination that adds up to 1/3, 2/3, or 1) is also a viable option.īeing all of ths information was gathered from the demo version of the game, it is unknown at this time if this ammo system is final or not. The alternative to this being the waste of precious ammo. This means that compulsive reloaders will need to discipline themselves to wait and reload close to 2/3 cip, 1/3 clip, or when the display reads 0. In other words, with 20 clips of universal ammo, the unaltered plasma cutter can have anywhere from 30 to 70 shots including the 10 shots stored in the gun. BUT If you only shoot once, it will depleat a full clip of Universal Ammo if you go to reload. This means that completely emptying a weapon and reloading uses roughly 3 clips, and completely emptying and reloading both weapons uses roughly 6 clips. So a full stack of Universal Ammo clips (20) equals 6 full reloads. For example, in the demo, 10 Plasma cutter shots equals exactly 30 machine gun bullets.Įach Universal Ammo clip equals roughly 1/3 a magazine. This means that players are no longer restricted to using only the weapons they have ammo for and makes it very easy to see which type of weapon is the most efficient for you to kill with. The ammo system has also been revamped with the inclusion of Universal Ammo.
