The Carbonizer Mk16 is an energy-based weapon developed by The Trust.[1] It is a heavy weapon that fires a long, powerful beam of high energy plasma. The beam's strength increases the longer it is fired. It is described as cooking the target's body inside out. It also builds up a residual charge that, when the beam of the Carbonizer is interrupted, can do damage to nearby enemies.[2]This weapon recoils once the target is dead or the trigger is released, making it ineffective against small enemies, but it is one of the most effective against large enemies because of its high damage and the fact that it immobilizes the target similar to the wavebuster from the Metroid Prime series.
Along with Radiation grenades, this weapon is a very effective way to take down Storm Scarabs.
Trivia
- This weapon is never used, nor carried by an enemy in The Conduit.
- The weapon bares resemblance to the "Egon" from the first Half-Life game. The "Egon" shoots a large blue beam which is similar to that of the carbonizer, difference being a blue spiral that surrounds the center beam.
