Once upgraded, it can cut through several Necromorphs' limbs with one shot. Though it's incapable of firing the same rate as the Plasma Cutter and Pulse Rifle, the Line Gun compensates by having a higher damage base rate. Also like the Plasma Cutter, it is used for cutting down rocks and ore to smaller sizes, though is designed for more heavy duty ore that the Plasma Cutter cannot cut through. Like the Plasma Cutter's secondary fire mode, the Line gun fires a horizontal beam of energy. The fire it produces also has the ability to burn off limbs, which makes it ever more useful if the user is a terrible shot.The Line Gun is a wide-beamed slicer with timed mines. As enough shots to the body, along with the fire, will kill the Necromorph in under 10 shots.

For a weapon its size it has high fire power, quick firing speed, perfect firing modes for dismembering, high ammo capacity, and a quick reload time. It is one of the best weapons in the game requiring a low amount of Power Nodes to fully upgrade.

However, it is used by the Dead Space: Break-Fast Universe's people as a weapon against the Necromorph hordes.

It focuses more on precise areas and its two firing modes help adjust the angle for just the right shot. It can also be used for a surgical tool to cut through layers of skin and perform surgeries. It is primarily used for smaller operations since it does not have much fire power. The 211-V Plasma Cutter is a tool used to cut rocks and ore into smaller pieces.
