"A flexible weapon, the Plasma Gun fires massive balls of energy that explode on contact, with excellent rate of fire compared to Spinfusors."

The Plasma Gun is an unlockable primary weapon for the Raider, and is a remake of the classic Plasma Gun from Starsiege: Tribes. While it is a close remake to the original, it has a very strong kick when a player is hit by it, the same ammount that the Spinfusors have. The original Plasma Gun did not have a kick back.
