Propulsion Cannon (Subnautica)

The Propulsion Cannon is a tool crafted using the Fabricator. It can be upgraded to the Repulsion Cannon via the Modification Station. The Propulsion Cannon takes up four slots in the player's Inventory.

Uses
The main function of the Propulsion Cannon is to attract and launch objects with its beam, including small Fauna or Flora and Harvesting Nodes on a range of up to 19 meters. It is also used to clear debris barring the player's path in the Aurora and some wrecks.

Objects can be suspended via the Propulsion Cannon by pressing the right mouse button when aiming at the object. The player can then launch the object by pressing the right mouse button again. "F" simply releases the item without adding momentum.

Attracted objects can also be picked up by the player, making it easier for the player to catch fish, sinking materials or hard to reach items.

By pressing 'F' the player can load certain items from their inventory into the Propulsion Cannon and use them as ammunition.

If a Bleeder latches onto the player's arm, the player can use the Propulsion Cannon to grab the Bleeder, and is then held by the Propulsion Cannon, which can be blasted off.

Energy
The Propulsion Cannon has an energy level which can be replenished with a Battery. While picking up objects does not drain the energy, holding objects with the Propulsion Cannon drains the energy level by 1% every 1.3 seconds. Launching objects depletes the energy level by 4% per launch.

The Propulsion Cannon will recharge as the player swims, should they have the Swim Charge Fins equipped.

Future Plans

 * One of the Propulsion Cannon's possible future uses is to launch DNA serums.

Trivia

 * The Propulsion Cannon has many similarities to the Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator or Gravity Gun from the Half-Life Series. The developers have even used it as a design inspiration.
