A common light weapon used by Covenant forces, the Plasma Rifle uses plasma technology firing directed energy bolts instead of projectile ammunition. The plasma rifle is particularly effective against shielded bipedal opponents.

NOTE: Why bipedal? Wouldn't it be as effective against anything? Nothing else really worthy of note; aside from the rate of fire and overheating/cooloff timing, there's not much to tweak here. Expect the same weapon you're used to.
