	Unlike the Heavy Laser/Auto, this weapon deals the highest damage per bullet available to any weapon (assuming usage of elerium ammo). Snapshots have comparably high accuracy of base 75% with a smaller TU cost of 30%, although Heavy Plasma snapshots don't have the same extended firing range of the Heavy Laser/Auto. Auto-shots are restricted to firing 3 rounds per burst however they consume less TU's to fire, allowing for greater manoeuvrability.

	The weapon furthermore is fairly light to carry, weighing the same as a [[Rifle (Hardmode)\|Rifle]], combined with likely further weight reductions from the more advance terran power armour, this can allow a wielder to carry a larger inventory than ever before, even being more able to carry other weapons. The downsides to this weapon is it no longer has infinite ammo, but its clips do hold a generous 35 rounds. Its aimed mode is also subpar due to its high TU cost.

A powerful support weapon, the '''Heavy Plasma''' can be researched following the discovery of the '''[[Plasma Rifle (Hardmode) \| Plasma Rifle]]'''.

	~~TBA~~		The single most powerful weapons in the alien arsenal (at least per shot). The Heavy Plasma is a dangerous weapon to encounter at all ranges, at close range its auto-fire will see little spared, and at long range its aimed and generous snapshot accuracies will allow for surprisingly accurate shots against your forces.

			The weapon is at its strongest at close to mid-range, and while it can hit long range shots, these shots do tend to cost significantly more of an aliens time units to fire, resulting in less overall volume of fire.

			This is a uncommonly issued weapon, nonetheless expect to see it anywhere aliens are found.
