IMPETUS OM-0
The IMPETUS OM-O is capable of destroying large amounts of breakable objects with ease, as well as redirecting projectiles and moving personnel.

It utilizes powerful concentrated sonic blasts that can crack through breakable objects, or shatter brittle ones. It has an alternate blast activated by pressing Right Click, which will charge up a more powerful blast capable of redirecting and destroying pretty much anything.

The IMPETUS can be used to jump higher if timed properly with either the primary or alternate fires, with the alternate fire creating a much greater force.

Few IMPETUS exist in USATS storage, so use it carefully. And well. And safely. And in accordance to USATS Procedural Guidelines.
