How to unlock the Plasma Gun In Warhammer 40k Darktide – Plasma Guide

Most classes in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide get access to a selection of unique weapons only their class can use. The Veteran class is no different, and one such weapon they can only use is the Plasma Gun, but when it unlocks is unclear. Luckily it's not hard to figure out when most weapons unlock and appear in Warhammer 40k Darktide. That said, here's when you can unlock the Plasma Gun and its weapon traits in Darktide.

How to unlock the Magnacore Plasma Gun in Warhammer 40k Darktide

To unlock the Plasma Gun in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, you must level up to around level 16. Around level 16 is when the Plasma Gun will unlock for the Veteran Sharpshooter class, but it might not appear right away for you. In short, most weapons will unlock at a certain level but won't appear in the Armory Exchange (weapon and cosmetic shop) after a few inventory refreshes. In short, the Armory Exchange listings are random and sometimes include weapons you haven't unlocked yet. Because of this, if you want a Plasma Gun, the best way is to wait until it appears after level 16. We recommend waiting until the next inventory refresh after unlocking the gun to check if the Plasma Gun is available in Warhammer 40k Darktide.
