The DRAK-25 is among the newest additions to the DRG arsenal and is a bit of a technological marvel. Capable of laying down a blistering hail of superheated plasma without hardly ever blowing up in your hands, and comparatively cheap to manufacture, management were quick to approve and sign off this design. |
| — Item Description |
The DRAK-25 Plasma Carbine is an unlockable primary weapon for the Scout. It is a somewhat retro futuristic carbine with the stock being incorporated into the handle and attached to the magazine. The barrel and muzzle both feature distinctly different colors compared to the rest of the gun and are much more circular than the rest of the weapon.
The Plasma Carbine, similar to Gunner's "Lead Storm" Powered Minigun and Driller's Experimental Plasma Charger, feeds from a single ammo pool and has an overheating mechanic. In addition, the plasma fired by the weapon is considered a projectile, meaning that it must physically travel through the world before hitting a target.
When firing the Plasma Carbine, each shot will produce heat which is measured on the weapon's digital display. After firing for an extended period of time and completely filling the heat meter, the Plasma Carbine will jam, rendering the weapon inoperable for the overheat duration.
Modifications
There are five tiers of modifications and each tier has two to three upgrades. Only one modification can be equipped per tier.
| DRAK-25 Plasma Carbine Modifications | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mod | Effect | Description | Price | |||||||||
| Tier 1 |  High-Volume Plasma Field |
+3 Rate of Fire | We overclocked your gun. It fires faster. Don't Ask. Just Enjoy. Also probably don't tell Management, please. |
| ||||||||
 Heat Shield |
-25% Heat per Shot | Less heat generated per shot. |
| |||||||||
 Stronger Plasma Accelerator |
+50% Projectile Velocity | Launches the plasma projectiles at a higher velocity. |
| |||||||||
| Tier 2 |  Larger Battery |
+250 Battery Capacity | The good thing about clips, magazines, ammo drums, fuel tanks... you can always get bigger variants. |
| ||||||||
 Increased Caliber Rounds |
+2 Damage | The good folk in R&D have been busy. The overall damage of your weapon is increased. |
| |||||||||
| Tier 3 |  Custom Coil Alignment |
-70% Shot Spread | Hand-aligned coils with a custom two phase acceleration profile improves accuracy and reduces spread. |
| ||||||||
Gen 2 Cooling System |
+50% Cooling Rate, -0.1 Cooling Delay | The new and improved passive cooling system sheds heat faster when not firing. |
| |||||||||
 Hot Feet |
+Speed Boost During Overheat | The burning hot gases motivate you to move faster while the weapon is overheated. |
| |||||||||
| Tier 4 |  Overcharged PCF |
+20 Chance to Electrocute on Hit | The projectiles carry excess charge distributed across the containment field giving a small chance to electrocute the target on impact. |
| ||||||||
 Targets Explode |
-5 Direct Damage, +5 Splash Damage Area | A simple modification to the containment field causes it to rupture outward on impact damaging all things in a small radius even through heavy armor. |
| |||||||||
 Destructive Resonance AMP |
+200% Armor Break Bonus | We're proud of this one. Armor shredding. Tear through that high-impact plating of those big buggers like butter. What could be finer? |
| |||||||||
| Tier 5 |  Manual Heat Dump |
+ Manual Heat Dump | Pressing the reload button will force the DRAK-25 into overheat mode letting you quickly cool the weapon. |
| ||||||||
 Thermal Feedback Loop |
+Faster RoF When Hot | Pumping excess heat back into the system results in a faster rate of fire when the weapon passes 50% heat. |

Overclocks
Overclock calculations happen after modifiers.
 DRAK-25 Plasma Carbine [Expand/Collapse]
| |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overclock | Effect | In Game Description | Price | ||||||||
Aggressive Venting
  |
|
"Directional vents burn everything around you and send enemies running when the weapon overheats. They also reduce the overheat recovery time." |
| ||||||||
Thermal Liquid Coolant
 |
|
"With a liquid coolant fitted to the weapons thermal system it transfers heat more efficiently, accelerating its cooling rate and reducing heat per shot." |
| ||||||||
Impact Deflection
  |
|
"Tinkering with the particle density makes your projectiles react on impact with armor and surfaces, making them bounce up to 2 times! However the rate of fire needs to be reduced to keep the gun from exploding in your hands." |
| ||||||||
Rewiring Mod
 |
|
"By rewiring the thermal systems into a secondary cell and connecting it to the primary battery, your weapon can convert the energy from overheating into ammo. However this reduces the maximum capacity of the primary battery significantly." |
| ||||||||
Overtuned Particle Accelerator
  |
|
"The particle accelerator has been tuned way over safety standards to push the damage output to the limit! The modifications comes with a price to overall stability of the weapon and increased heat generation." |
| ||||||||
Shield Battery Booster
 |
|
"Plugging your shield directly into the weapon battery boosts the plasma feed and density significantly while at full shield and improves total ammo and rate of fire at all times. However the extra energy generates more heat and overheating the weapon will short circuit your shield." |
| ||||||||
Thermal Exhaust Feedback
 |
|
"Feeding the thermal exhaust back into the system transfers the heat generated after a 50% threshold to the plasma, making it increasingly hot. The modifications means more heat generated and it takes longer to get rid of during overheat." |
| ||||||||
Stats breakdown
Understanding the Weapon
- Battery Capacity is the weapon's total ammo capacity.
- Overheat Duration is the amount of time in seconds that the weapon becomes inoperable when the heat meter is completely filled.
- Cooldown Delay is how long you need to wait in seconds before the weapon's heat meter begins to cool down.
- Heat Generated per Shot: 0.045
- Maximum Heat Capacity: 2
Unique Modifications
Unique Overclocks
- Impact Deflection
- Overtuned Particle Accelerator
- Rewiring Mod
- Rewiring Mod will refill approximately 32-33 shots given a full overheat of 45 shots, approximately 72% of ammunition used. This means a full 45-shot overheat will only consume around 13 shots. Overheating early with Manual Heat Dump will refill around 60-70% of ammunition used.
- Shield Battery Booster
- Increases direct damage by 5.5 when at full shields.
- Thermal Liquid Coolant
- Thermal Exhaust Feedback
- Aggressive Venting
- Name Unknown (name not present in game file for this overclock)
Mastery
Each modification that is purchased advances a mastery bar by one unit.
Mastery unlocks:
- Three modifications – First Stripe Weapon Paintjob
- Seven modifications – Deepcore Weapon Paintjob
- All modifications – The Company Special Weapon Paintjob
