Ionized Plasma Levitator

The Ionized Plasma Levitator, better known as the Grabber, is a weapon only found in Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil which has the ability to hold certain objects above the ground for a limited time and can throw them with great force. The Grabber can grab fireballs thrown by enemies, reach otherwise inaccessible pickups, destroy certain enemies and remove obstacles in the player's path.

A portable tractor beam, it does not use ammo but can only fire when locked onto a target. It can pick up objects to either move them or throw them at enemies, or grab enemy fireballs (even revenants’ rockets) from the air and toss them back at your enemies. The beam will also disintegrate Forgotten Ones and ignite exploding barrels (if launched; they just drop unharmed when released). While it has unlimited ammo, the gun will overheat and cut the beam off after a few seconds.


 * Clip Size: limited use of beam
 * Reloading: approx. 0.5 seconds recharge time
 * Ammo: infinite

The IPL bears close resemblance to the Gravity Gun and Portal Gun used in the Half-Life 2 games, as all of these can be used to pick up objects such as physics props or ammunition, though only the IPL and Gravity gun can launch them across a distance. Unlike the Gravity Gun, the IPL will automatically drop the object after a few seconds, and the IPL does not "Force Pull" objects if they are out of reach to the player. It also works similarly to BioShock's Telekinesis plasmid.
