Cutting Laser

Of all the upgrades for Taeski weapons, the cutting laser is often completely underestimated or even forgotten, even by the Taeski themselves. Although it was designed to cut through bulkheads, defensive plating and vehicle armor, the cutting laser can be used as a makeshift bayonet as well. The hot blue "flame" projected from beneath the barrel of the gun can reach 3300 degrees in only a few seconds, making it very dangerous and potentially lethal if used this way. Although it has a far shorter range than the bayonet (only six inches instead of nine to fifteen) it can shear through metal or stone quite easily.

Many novice Hunters fail to consider the applications of the cutting laser properly when it can be quite easily used as one. It has other applications as well, such as being used as a signal flare in dark areas, and it emits a reasonable amount of light for it to be used as a close-range illumination device as well. Despite all of its uses, however, the cutting laser only sees minimal use among Taeski Hunters.
