Skorr's Plasma Launcher

Skorr's Plasma Launcher is the custom-made signature weapon of the Zeverek bounty hunter Skorr.

History
Despite the weapon being outlawed by the Brotherhood of Makuta, a number of Vortixx manufacturers managed to reserve a small quantity of Plasma Launchers for themselves, as they had not been sold due to the Brotherhood's interference. Aware of the weapon's popularity and reliability, the Vortixx opened a secret black market auction on their home island of Xia, charging extravagant fees up front for the launchers. Among the bidders present was the Zeverek Skorr, an infamous bounty hunter and outlaw who had been intrigued by the reputation of the launcher.

After purchasing it, Skorr took his Plasma Launcher before his personal artisan, Invex, and requested he modify the weapon for his particular usage. Over the years, Skorr's launcher has been equipped with a number of modifications and upgrades that set it apart from the standard variant, and it has since become the Zeverek's signature weapon. In addition, when first examining it, Invex dismantled and then reassembled the launcher, and memorized the schematics. He has since gone on to create a number of backup launchers of identical modification, should Skorr's current model be destroyed or damaged beyond repair.

Function
Bearing all the advantages as the standard model, Skorr's Plasma Launcher has been given a number of unique modifications to improve its overall performance. Several weapons modes have been applied, most notably an upgrade that equips the launcher with both the original single-shot mode and a new rapid fire setting for attacks with a higher rate of fire. However, whilst the original firing mode is still present in this variant, it lacks the original double-strike burst present in the standard model. This is because it is now forced to account for the rapid fire mode, splitting the functions of the barrels. This launcher's two settings are designed to be focused through the weapon's two gun barrels.

The additional mode is a burst fire setting that deals low damage, yet has a dizzying rate of fire, low recoil and very high accuracy. Holding down the trigger speeds up its rate of fire dramatically, rapidly overheating the weapon. This mode is intended for brief but intense attacks at close range. However, because long periods of rapid fire require large amounts of plasmatic energy, the launcher heats up a lot faster than normal. To prevent excessive fire and stop it from overheating, an inbuilt ticker automatically ceases fire after a set number of shots, allowing it to recharge.

The model used by Skorr has additionally been modified to include a flamethrower effect, a scope for better accuracy, a removable silencer and a laser sight. He is known to always have a number of spare Plasma Launchers of identical modifications with him at all times, should his current one ever be destroyed. This is because he provided his personal weapons designer, Invex, with the schematics required to make his modifiable version.

Example Usage
Skorr used his Plasma Launcher to fire a blast of magma at Flardrek that sent him reeling into a small shack in Journeys of Darkness.
