Plasma Rifle

The  is a basic starter weapon with a decently sized ammunition capacity. It's low damage will quickly render this weapon obsolete once you craft the plasma shotgun. It can still, however, prove useful to pull it out when you are in a dangerous situation and cannot wait for your other weapons to reload, as a backup.

Location
You can obtain your first and only Plasma Rifle right at the start of the game. Simply walk over top of the starter items next to your Spaceship Wreckage when you begin a new game, to collect them along with the Plasma Rifle.

In-Game Description
