Jeron fusion cutter


As seen from the user's point of view A fusioncutter Jeron, a handheld device for mining, had the purpose of slicing through rock formations. Utilizing power cells as its energy source, it discharged beams of green energy from its quartet of chambers. A feature allowed for the concurrent firing of all four chambers, but this consumed energy at eight times the rate of a single chamber, rather than a mere fourfold increase.

Furthermore, it could function as a makeshift weapon, a capability displayed by Kyle Katarn on Gromas 16. Firing from all four barrels gave a broader area of effect but less individual impact. Due to it not being intended for combat, its projectiles became less accurate over longer distances, and its firing rate was too slow for engagements at close range.

Behind the scenes

In the game's development phase, the Fusion Cutter stood out as one of the most overwhelmingly potent weapons, surpassing all others in effectiveness. To foster a greater variety of player tactics, its power was adjusted downward in the final version of the game.
