It’ll make quick work of the legs on a pack of standard necromorphs or take out all three of a Lurker’s projectile-firing tentacles with one shot, so once you get this weapon, you should keep it on you at all times. The Line Gun is somewhat similar to the Plasma Gun, but it’s much more focused on crowd control due to its wide attack. In terms of upgrades, just prioritize capacity so that you can use it longer – though bear in mind that you’ll burn through ammo quickly, and buying it at the store can get pricey. Use it against enemies that you just need to burst down quickly with its overpowering beam, then make use of its secondary fire (a strong laser shot) to pummel bosses. The Contact Beam is found in the first few hours and is the most powerful weapon in the game in terms of raw damage output, but it doesn’t do much for you in terms of dismemberment. Your upgrades for this one should focus on moving directly upward on the track so that you can toss a node in the Kinect Autoloader (SP1) and greatly increase your fire rate. Perhaps most exciting about this automatic gun is its secondary fire, though, which can unleash a proximity mine, allowing you to set up some dastardly traps for those nasty necromorphs. The Pulse Rifle is another gun found fairly early, and it may initially seem like a weak option compared to the Plasma Gun, but it can be quite a beast once you’ve invested in some upgrades.
