Do you know if this mod improves the projectile speed of plasma weapons?

It doesn't. People tested this and were disappointed.
Sadness. Thank you!
I will say that having night vision compensates partially for the lack of velocity at range. You can see the outline of a person and get some good shots in before they can react.
It does not, that's what I hoped for so I was disappointed a little. It ONLY increases the threshold for damage falloff, and it appears the maximum range for Plasma Weapons is 200meters regardless.
You're probably not going to notice it at that range, it's cumulative, but it's still always decaying, so it'll look almost like half-life effect, the first shot has the most deflection, and then every shot to about the 4th will show about half the deflection but still cumulating.
Is this with your pistol, or is it stock, Hip Fire Accuracy, as we have demonstrated in this thread, is kind of weird and broken right now, so it might be playing a role.
This thread has been incredibly informative. Thank you to all who have been testing these mods and adding your input here!

I took my new Range/Scope/Hip Accuracy shotgun out for some fun tonight. The impact area is basically a single point up close. As you move away, you can see a tiny bit of spread among the plasma pellets start to build. They remain within the width of, say, an NPC head for a ridiculously long time.
The hardest part of using a weapon like this is remembering that it doesn’t behave like a shotgun any more, and you can kill that angry NPC way over there with one shot if you aim for the head.

I'm afraid they're gonna Nerf this as it seems entirely too much fun.
To be fair, it does have a skill floor. You have to be able to make headshots consistently. You have to be pretty accurate in general because you no longer have a wide spread of pellets to make up for aiming errors. It’s still only 2 shots in the magazine unless you splurge for 3. If you miss the head and hit the body you have to fire again to kill…just like any other plasma weapon at grade 5.
I can see them widening the spread a little, but it’s not like the shotgun works this way off the shelf. I had to put 5 grades and 3 mods into it to get to this point.

I don't have one with a scope, but it seems ADS has been disabled for the intimidator. It works on all my other guns so I know it's not my binds or my mouse.
