How to Use the Line Gun

Tear Through Multiple Necromorphs

With its wide-reaching shots that can pass through multiple targets, the Line Gun excels at tearing through groups of Necromorphs and holding down narrow hallways.

The weapon is also potent when fighting against single Necromorphs, as its wide horizontal shots can dismember multiple limbs at once.

Cover Areas with Line Traps

In the Remake, the Line Gun's new secondary firing mode launches Line Traps. These traps emit energy beams that deal constant heavy damage to any Necromorphs that pass through them, making them excellent tools for holding down positions against groups of foes.

However, note that these traps can also hurt Isaac, so take care to position them properly and avoid walking through them to prevent yourself from taking unnecessary damage.
