Only the Line Gun is perhaps more widely destructive (or any weapon that's highly powered up). Against the mutant tentacles that grab Isaac, this weapon is very handy. However, you can get the trophy achievment of beating the game using just the Plasma Cutter on any difficulty, and you will find Normal and Easy much better to do your achievement on.ĭespite it being the first weapon you find, upgrade the weapon so it fires faster, harder, and for it to hold more ammunition. The problem is that the weapon is fairly weak and at 25 units of ammo per RIG slot, you run out of ammo quickly in the final few chapters. The ability to rotate the beam by 90° means you can cut limbs off attached to Necromorphs in different spots.

Used for mining at close quarters, this handy tool has become the screwdriver / kitchen knife murder tool of the current century. The Plasma Cutter is an iconic weapon in the series, and rightfully so Unlike most horror games, when your initial sidearm is nothing more than a pea shooter. The plasma cutter is effectively a handheld shotgun, shooting out a hand-wide stretch of plasma that cuts most matter. Note if you put weapons into storage and end a chapter, it will only have 1 unit of ammunition when you pull it out of storage in the next chapter. The tutorials will not cover the use of weapons. This section will cover the basics of the weapons in the original disc-game (and none of that downloadable crap), as well as the special abilities you get in 5 to 10 minutes into the game Kinesis and Stasis). Huge fan of Dead Space I have the soundtrack to the concept art and the mini plasma cutter any way I personally own both Isaac figures NECAs first Dead.
