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 on a range of up to 19 meters. Objects can be 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.[1]
If a Bleeder latches onto the player's arm, the player will use the Propulsion Cannon to grab the Bleeder, which is then held in the Propulsion Cannon.
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 also recharge as you swim if you have the Swim Charge Fins equipped.
Recipe
Data Bank Entry
The propulsion cannon allows technicians to manipulate gravitational forces at ranges of up to 20m. It is commonly used in construction and mining to move materials.
Operating instructions:
- Pull the trigger once to lock onto and attact a single targeted object weighing less than 25kg
- The object can now safely be retrieved from the gravitational beam
- Alternatively, pull the trigger a second time to propel the object at speed away from the device
- Not recommended for use on organic subjects

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.[2]
