I'm not sure about Plasma Shrapnel. Is that even a thing?
I'm not sure if the Plasma shrapnal is a real thing, there was some drama reguarding this that I dealt with earlier but I never saw the page.

Should we remove the Plasma Shrapnel, I've never seen any evidence.


 * I've read the notes linked for this discussion, and there's no mention of shrapnel. The text on overlapping damage is also speculative. I'll see if anything can be dug out of Reddit or the Forums. --That which respawns you makes you stronger. (talk) 20:16, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Plasma unload on dmg
I've noticed recently, that SMG damage seems to cause plasma to unload slightly while charging (1-5 seem to only make it take longer), to the point where the full DPS (6) manages to make the plasma actually loose charge over time. Does this happen to anyone else?

I noticed this first around T7, and am fairly sure it's still a thing in T9. Perhaps it's proportional to dmg?

Plasma projectile "parenting"
I removed the comment on projectile parenting, since it does not seem to occur since the megabots update; i (smg) destroyed a plasma bot, and afterwards, was killed by it in the killfeed. (i should have taken a screenshot : --Forivall (talk) 23:53, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

It has gotten better, but shots still disappear sometimes... recently I have died within a second of firing, and watched the guy not get hit and the shots fade from view, despite not moving, and the shot being straight down. I've had this both from smg and rail deaths, though more so on rail deaths. Perhaps this is something to do with the dmg scale up? The shots fade out around the right time/distance. They do change graphically at full charge... On a potentially related note, I recently got killed by a railgun after I killed it... The scoreboard didn't give me a kill, but round rewards included it, and the killfeed didn't note my death, and nor did round rewards, if I remember correctly......--LeakingAmps
