The Plasma Rifle

otherwise known as the Pain Train
Let us discuss, let me ask, when is it an actual honorable time to use it? It's such an odd weapon in terms of being kosher.

[Whistle]

Hate the thing, I always look upon a pred unfavourably if they use it.
The only exception is when it's them against an entire marine/hive force.
That said then they're not hunting, they're fighting a war.

The only time I've used it was when the literal entire hive, queen and all, swarmed the lodge. However, you're on pretty shaky ground when using it, but a semi-honorable time to use it is a group of people attack you.

I've never used that thing, doesn't fit my play style and it's just plain OP. I can't think of a practical use for it. The only reason I would pick it up, is because of the scope (it has one right?) to observe at a distance, but then you're wasting a valued equipment slot just for a scope.

Binoculars can do the same and you can find those if you know where to look. I'd suggest something to make it fit the lore, but seriously it's not lore-friendly and the only weapon with that much range is the speargun from the STALKER specialization in the yautja clans. It's meant to be a stealth-based long-distance support kind of weapon that cause severe bleeding, amazing damage and keep the ennemies at bay... I don't know where the plasma rifle come from other than a lust for blood and dishonour.
