The Plasma Cutter is a precision-engineered mining tool repurposed for combat, featuring a sleek, industrial design with a matte black and metallic silver color scheme. Its body is angular and asymmetrical, with a prominent rotating barrel mechanism that allows for both horizontal and vertical plasma beam firing modes. The weapon's surface is textured with grip patterns for secure handling, and it emits a faint blue glow from its energy core and barrel when active, highlighting its high-tech, utilitarian origins in the Dead Space universe.
