— Weapon Description Broken {{ref}} (outdated style)

The Abduction Gun works as a laser designator for a beam of light that lifts those caught in the beam into the sky, relying on lifting targets far off the ground to eliminate them. This weapon is also helpful for the player character and co-op players as the beam does no harm to The Protagonist, which makes this weapon an effective personal mobility tool. This does not work for Homies though and are only incapacitated by the weapon.

The Abduction Gun is an excellent weapon for dealing with Marauders, Murderbots and groups of enemies, as the beam easily kills them after reaching a certain height, and vehicle occupants are vulnerable to being sucked out of their vehicles.

The Abduction Gun does not work on Wardens however, and vehicles only lifted off the ground. In addition, regardless of whether Ammo - Special 4 upgrade is purchased or not, only 1 beam may be active. The beam also has a set time of being active so any enemies not killed by the time the beam disappears are not eliminated, regular enemies might still die from fall damage, while Homies and Super Powered enemies are not harmed.
