Plexus

The Plexus is one of the most powerful weapons in Prodeus. It can be seen in the Intro for the game but is kept out of reach. It is not given to the player during the Campaign but it is available in the Level Editor. It appears to be a weapon used by the forces of Prodeus and it uses cell ammo.

The secondary fire of the weapon will change the mode of fire for the primary fire. The default mode rapid fires the weapon with each connecting shot having a strand of energy connecting them, allowing for additional damage to be done. The second mode fires 5 projectiles vertically while the third mode fires 7 projectiles horizontally. These modes also have energy connecting the projectiles.

The Plexus can be seen as a direct upgrade to the Plasma Rifle due to the higher DPS despite the considerably lower ammo cost. The only major downside for the Plexus is the relatively low accuracy, a problem that is somewhat mitigated due to the energy connecting the projectiles doing damage while also going through enemies.
