Plasma Rifle is a weapon introduced in Revenge of the Yolk. It's an unlockable in Ultimate Omelette and Cluck of the Dark Side.

Strategy

It fires purple lasers that can deliver enormous amounts of damage to a single target at a time, and with an even wider range of auto-lock. Unfortunately, it generates huge amounts of heat, so you'll have to watch out for Overheating. It's not as much of an issue if you fire it manually, however.

It's available from Chapter 4 in Revenge of the Yolk. You can unlock this weapon for 75 Key in Ultimate Omelette and Cluck of the Dark Side. Even then, it won't appear until Chapter 5.

In Universe, it's unlocked from Tier 3.

Pros

  • Auto-locks and hits enemies instantly.
  • Deals massive continual damage, even on low power levels.
    • Unique to Chicken Invaders Universe, the Plasma Rifle's damage ramps up on targets. And at max ramp up, it deals area damage around a target being struck until that target is destroyed or the player stops firing or the target moves out of the "auto-lock cone".

Cons

It's a member of the Nuclear group, so it has its weaknesses and strengths.

Trivia

  • Plasma Rifle is not available by default in Ultimate Omelette, because at one point in development it was intended to be replaced entirely by Positron Stream. It was left in the game as a last minute decision.
  • Before 0.30BETA in Revenge of the Yolk, it used to overheat faster.
