However, it can be used on on-on-one fights against bosses. Most of the time this gun isn't very practical against the hordes of Necromorphs. The Javelin Gun fires a projectile that penetrates one foe and sends a shock wave shortly afterwards.

4 Alt Fire, 2 Speed, 4 Damage, 5 Capacity, 1 Special, 2 Reload.

It's still worth taking this as a secondary weapon for crowds or when your Plasma Cutter is low on ammo. It covers a larger range and does more damage than the Plasma Gun, but has a smaller clip and longer reload speeds. Similar to the Plasma Cutter, however the Line Gun can only shoot with a large horizontal line.

4 Damage, 4 Capacity, 2 Reload, 2 Width, 6 Alt Fire, 1 Duration.

The special node will allow the Plasma Cutter to ignite enemies for some extra damage over time. In most cases, keeping it in horizontal is much more beneficial. The alternate fire changes the line between a horizontal and vertical direction. Make sure to always keep it on you for any sort of situation.

With upgrades it is very versatile with a great balance of damage and speed. 4 Damage, 5 Capacity, 2 Reload, 1 Speed, 1 Special.
