Psychostatic Cutter is a melee/short-range weapon found on Pytheas moon base during Prey (2017) Mooncrash.

Overview[]

Psychostatic Cutter is a prototype psychotrinic tool/weapon that utilizes psionic interference to cause mental damage as well as physical damage.

The weapon comes in two versions: default, which only appears in Claire Whitten's starting loadout and elite version, which can be always found at any time in Pytheas Labs, Typhon Sciences section. From there, enter the Psychometrics Office, where you’ll find a special container with the elite Psychostatic Cutter.

Its main components are as follows: haptic handle with throttle control (this presumably serves as the trigger for psychostatic energy projection), which is directly connected to a noetic field modulator (presumably the main psychotronic component), which is connected to a metal fin, which funnels the user's psychostatic potential into an edge-shaped field proximal to it. Excess psychostatic energy can be projected from the tip of said metal fin or edge-shaped field (or both, or somewhere in between), and is said to be able to cause severe neurological damage.

Usage[]

The Psychostatic Cutter consumes stamina for normal attacks, and PSI points for charged attacks. The PSI attack can be used, even if you don’t have any PSI potential. Any character can launch PSI projectiles. The attacks also ignore all physical barriers, so you can attack enemies through doors or windows safely.
