The wait is over. The New Plasmor has arrived! Was it worth the wait?
That's exactly what we'll find out today!
I'm a big fan of the regular version. It is in fact my most played primary. But it has seen better days. The Tenet version comes with some significant buffs. The most important being the raw damage output which is far superior to the regular version. Other than that we have an increase in critical multiplier but a lowering of the reload speed and fire rate which I find puzzling.
The weapon performs very similarly to the normal one when it comes to heavily armored targets that can mitigate a lot of that extra damage that the Tenent Arca Plasmor posses but shows its fangs when dealing with infested or corpus. Targets that in general have less mitigation, allowing for that brute force to go through. All and all considering, it's not a huge change from the regular version and still struggles with armored units.
If we introduce the New Galvanized mods. Namely Galvanized Acceleration, Galvanized Hell and the currently not functional Galvanized Aptitude plus Primed Point Blank and Ravage than the weapons starts to come alive. Primary Deadhead arcane also increases the power of the weapon by a big margin but given the weapons mechanics and the Arcanes trigger it will be difficult to keep up. The on kill trigger being the primary reason why these new mods and Arcanes are not that great and categorically not reliable enough to even consider High Level Steel Path runs where these "improvements" can result in weaker performance than their normal counterparts.
