The Contact Beam is a high-powered, futuristic weapon with a sleek, industrial design, featuring a large, cylindrical energy core at its center that glows with a menacing blue hue. The weapon's body is constructed from dark, matte metal with visible wiring and hydraulic components, giving it a rugged, utilitarian appearance. Its surface is slightly weathered, with scratches and scuff marks indicating heavy use. The front end houses a wide, angular emitter that pulses with energy when charged, ready to unleash a devastating beam.
