Plasma Shotgun
The brand-new shotgun introduced in the Ghostbusters update is here to stay, available for 525 Gold. However, unfortunately its gimmick in killing ghosts quickly in Ghostbuster's 30th is all it really offers over the Automatic Shotgun. It packs a very similar playstyle to the Automatic Shotgun, but it is worse in almost every aspect. Its range, clip size, damage and fire rate are all noticeably worse, which pretty much prevents this weapon from seeing much use at all. Even if you don't have the Automatic Shotgun, it is still outclassed by the Double Barrel Shotgun, which makes this weapon almost redundant in the game.
The best strategy with this weapon is to stick around walls, keep your back protected and pop around corners and kill guys unexpectedly. This means maps where you can't be spotted from a distance, such as Headquaters, are ideal for this weapon. Agility is important for this weapon to move quickly. The Plasma Shotgun can be countered by jerking and moving around strangely so it misses, or using the Ghostbusters Jacket which weakens the weapon and other energy weapons by 60%. |

TL; DR
It's worth getting if you're trying to complete the Ghostbusters challenge (great for farming Marshmallow Men), but otherwise 525 Gold is way too overpriced for what it's worth. Buy Double Barrel Shotgun instead, you will not regret it.
