Overview
The plasma caster is one of the Predators' most efficient hunting weapons. Combined with a laser-targeting system fused to the mask of a Predator, the plasma caster is capable of one-shot kills against virtually anything, whether it be humans or Xenomorphs. Mainly, a plasma caster is mounted on the shoulders of a Predator, however, it is capable of being converted to a hand-held weapon so that a Predator may use it in situations where he has no time to lock on to enemies, or if its targeting system is damaged.
