Gatling plasma

The Gatling plasma is a heavy gun

Gameplay
The Gatling plasma is a heavy energy weapon and is affected by perks in those two categories. It fires very rapidly with relatively poor accuracy. Rather than individual bullets or cells, it uses plasma cores, generally only found in higher level areas of the map. They can also be crafted. Reload is slow and the gun must "spin up" before it begins firing.

Behind the scenes
Ben Carnow on the Gatling Plasma: "Front flaps of Gatling Plasma gun I made in Fallout 76 are modeled on thrust-vectoring jets. Wanted these to move at more complex angles when fired, but was impossible due to hierarchical bones in shared weapon rig. A miracle we got this to work as well as it did. Sorry animator!"
