- Contact BeamThe C99 Supercollider Contact Beam was a heavy mining tool, a miniaturized particle accelerator built to pound and shatter the toughest ore and meteors so the minerals inside could be extracted. Survivors used its charged kinetic discharge against the strongest Necromorphs.
- DetonatorThe Detonator was a seismic survey tool that deployed laser tripmines onto almost any surface. Built for drilling prospection, it was reworked by survivors of the Necromorph outbreaks into a trap that detonated when its laser beams were broken.
- Handheld Graviton AcceleratorThe Handheld Graviton Accelerator, better known as the Force Gun, was a short range kinetic mining tool that blasted rock apart and shifted debris in zero gravity. Survivors of the Necromorph outbreaks used its concussive blast to hurl the creatures back and tear off their limbs.
- Line GunThe IM-822 Handheld Ore Cutter Line Gun was a wide-beamed mining tool built to shear apart heavy ore that lighter equipment could not cut. Survivors of the Necromorph outbreaks repurposed its broad horizontal beam and its laser mines as a weapon.
- PFM-100 Hydrazine Torch FlamethrowerThe PFM-100 Hydrazine Torch Flamethrower was an industrial tool built to melt the ice that trapped ore inside comets and frozen meteors. Survivors of the Necromorph outbreaks repurposed its long cone of hydrazine flame as a weapon.
- Plasma CutterThe Plasma Cutter was a family of handheld mining tools built to cut through ore and rock with a focused bolt of ionized plasma. Compact and precise, it became the most common improvised weapon of survivors during the Necromorph outbreaks.
- RIGThe RIG, or Resource Integration Gear, was the standard worn equipment of spacefaring workers and soldiers in the 26th century. It sealed its wearer against hostile environments, carried their identity for security access, and linked them to others through the RIGlink communication system.
- RipperThe RC-DS Remote Control Disc Ripper was a mining tool that hovered a diamond-coated tungsten sawblade on a gravity tether to hack through solid rock. Notoriously dangerous in untrained hands, it became a close-range weapon in the Necromorph outbreaks.
- Stasis ModuleThe Stasis Module was a RIG accessory that produced a field of slowed time, suspending whatever it touched in a slower state for a short period. Built for surgery and for slowing dangerous machinery, it became an essential survival tool against the Necromorphs.
