Plasma Gun Mk. II

The '''Plasma Gun Mk. II''' is the next-generation model weapon invented by the Union Aerospace Corporation to replace the Plasma Gun Mk. I. It will be a weapon made available to the player in DOOM: Reawakened.

Concept and Creation
The Plasma Gun Mk. II is based on a weapon mod from community site Realm 667, and it was initially called the "UAC Plasmatic Rifle". In the first-person shooter perspective, the weapon looks partially similar to the Plasma Gun from DOOM 3.

This weapon mod alone gave Mad Squirrel Mods the idea to implement a new-tech weapon invented during a futuristic setting that is more distant than that of DOOM II: Hell on Earth. Technology would have evolved over time; and just like in real life, the military and weapon-manufacturing companies are always looking to upgrade their arsenal.

While merging the weapon mod into DOOM: Reawakened, the weapon's splash damage setting was set to none. This means that the player can fire the weapon itself in any range without damaging the character's health and armor, just like they could with the Plasma Gun Mk. I.

History
This weapon was designed by the Union Aerospace Corporation in the year 2049.

Design
The Mk. II uses the exact same type of cell ammunition as the Mk. I and can fire bigger balls of plasma than the other. The plasma coming out of the front end of the weapon is so hot that it can cook through armor within a matter of seconds. Moreover, it can leave larger and more consistent scorch marks on walls than what the other model can do.

Trivia

 * This weapon will completely replace the other Plasma Gun. Therefore, the original weapon will not be made available.
 * In first-person view, the Plasma Gun Mk. II has a light that turns red while the weapon is firing. It stays being blue if the weapon is idle.
