Is the Plasma Cannon any good in Fortnite?
We’ll have to wait and see how well the Plasma Cannon performs in actual matches, but for now, it seems as though it could be a pretty powerful asset to have in your inventory. It might even beoverpowered.
The energy balls it fires only deal33 damage to players, but they deal550 damage to buildswhich makes it a beast for taking down structures. These balls also move around slowly, so the potential for destruction is pretty high.
If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a Plasma Cannon, it should definitely be used as support to a more reliable and deadly weapon like a Shotgun or an Assault Rifle. Shoot your energy balls, and then follow up with a rain of bullets.
