Plasma cutter

The plasma cutter is a weapon in the Fallout 76 update Steel Dawn.

Characteristics
A mobile cutting device with an assortment of "blades" formed by superheated plasma, electrical current, controlled flame or cryogenic material. The blade is retracted until emitted from the handle, unlike a physical blade of worked material. The weapon is activated by flipping the switch above the handguard and is enabled by a power source on the opposite side.

Crafting
Crafting is unlocked once the weapon's plan is learned.
