to aim and use it correctly, it's a pretty decent T weapon.
-1 on plasma grenade dodgeball, gives me flashbacks of getting hit by plasma grenades, let alone having people's balls spammed at
me from multiple different directions.
I think each of the explosive T weapons have their own niches, just the Plasma is one without much of a purpose.
Jihad is an all or nothing close range blast, it's very loud and the blast radius is pretty big.
C4 is more strategic and it's fairly balanced by the fact that it takes 45 seconds the blast is very powerful.
Remote bomb is more stealthy so you've got to quickly place it and run to cover before using.
OBC has 5 uses and it takes time to charge but it's arguably the most precision based.
My problem is how the plasma nade slots into this, it's a one time use like most of these other ones but much more difficult to use and less rewarding. It's quite loud and gives you away instantly as it's impossible to miss someone holding a plasma.
It's not as good from a distance as an OBC, not even remotely stealthy like a remote bomb, not strategic like a c4, and nowhere nears as powerful as any of these 3 let alone a jihad.
I'd recommend this: boost the blast radius slightly and make it explode much faster, maybe even on contact?
That way it will have it's own niche of being a speedy weapon
