"The Cauterizer is a Hunter-class weapon that features fire damage and a x3.25 multiplier to mutants. It is designed as a specialized PvE tool for clearing anomalous threats quickly, though its low 11.25 penetration makes it poor for player combat. Its strong attack deals 132 damage, leveraging its elemental properties to dismantle tough mutant types. Elemental damage from this weapon does not apply status effects, but the increased mutant lethality makes it a solid choice for industrial-scale farming in the North."
