Propulsion Cannon (Subnautica)

The Propulsion Cannon is a tool crafted by using the fabricator.

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 life forms and harvesting nodes. Objects can suspended by the Propulsion Cannon by pressing RMB when facing the object and being close to it. The player can then launch the object by pressing RMB again. "E" releases the items.

Attracted objects can also be picked up by the player, making it easier for the player to catch fish.

One of its possible future uses is to launch DNA serums.

The player can also release objects to hit other living creatures from a long distance and eventually kill them. Like a gasopod and possibly other creatures.

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 3.5 seconds. Launching objects depletes the energy level by 4% per launch.

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 as a design inspiration.
