As seen from the user's point of view
A Jeron fusioncutter was a portable mining tool used to cut rock. It was powered with power cells and fired green bolts from each of its four chambers; it had the option to fire all four simultaneously, although this drained eight times the energy, instead of four times.[1]
It could also be used as a weapon, as Kyle Katarn demonstrated on Gromas 16. Fire from all its four barrels provided wider range but less clout. Not designed as a weapon, its shots lost accuracy over distance, and it fired too slow for close combat.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
During development of the game the Fusion Cutter was one of the universally strongest weapons that outperform all others; its power was rationalised in the finished game in order to encourage more diverse strategy from the player.[2]
