How to Use Gigawatt Blades in Infamous

Cole's Gigawatt Blades are a powerful weapon.

InFamous is a Playstation 3 video game where the player takes the role of Cole, a man with strange electrical powers. The game allows players to choose whether Cole uses his powers for good or for evil; based on the choices a player makes, the game changes in turn. One of Cole's powers are the Gigawatt Blades (originally only available with a code, now they are free from the Playstation Network). The Gigawatt Blades are blade-like electricity that surrounds Cole's fists.

Instructions

1. Fight enough enemies and complete enough quests in the game to earn at least 600 XP. Players use XP in Infamous to purchase power upgrades.

2. Purchase the Gigawatt Blades from the Power Menu. Press the "Start" button and choose "Powers." Scroll to the "Gigawatt Blades" option and press "X" to purchase the power. The first power level costs 600 XP.

3. Drain electricity from a nearby power source (such as streetlights or cars) by pressing the "L2" button. This ensures that you have enough electrical power to activate the blades.

4. Press "Right" on the Directional Pad. This activates the Gigawatt Blades.

5. Find an enemy and press the "Square" button to use the Gigawatt Blades on the enemy.
