Fire Extinguisher

The Fire Extinguisher is a piece of Equipment that is used to combat fires using CO2 cartridges. One is found in the player's Lifepod, seen flying off its mounting during the intro sequence and used to combat a fire in the pod immediately after the player regains consciousness. It can also be crafted using the Fabricator. Early animations for the Fire Extinguisher can be viewed here.

Uses
The Fire Extinguisher can be used at the start of the game to put out the fire in the lifepod. It can also be used to push the player in the opposite direction if used underwater. The Fire Extinguisher can not put out any of the fires on the Aurora.

Trivia

 * While the Fire Extinguisher is listed a piece of equipment in the fabricator, it behaves more like the other Tools.
