Amp

Want to get up-close and personal? Zeke designed the Amp so Cole could channel his energy through this melee weapon. Now you can pound any enemy in your space with a thousand volts of power so they will never get back up.
― Official Website's Description.

The Amp was built by Zeke and is made to channel Cole's electricity power to increase the power of his melee attacks.

The Amp, which looks like a large double-prong cattle prod, is what Cole uses to channel his electricity into and bash enemies with. When in use, Cole pulls it from his backpack, which would extend and channel electricity. The Amp is used, controller wise, by hitting the square and triangle buttons. Cole can also pull off combos with the Amp, and there will be finishing moves with this weapon. Also based on a new trailer Cole also have the abillity to channel his fire and ice powers through the Amp as well (this has not been confirmed).

Trivia

• The prototype for the Amp was a pipe which was used in the same way. It would have made it into the first game, but was scrapped.
• It appears the Amp will only work with Cole (or other electrically powered Conduits) holding it, due to requirements of electricity.
• A 24 Karat Gold Amp will be included in the Hero Edition. It can also be obtained by pre-ordering a copy of the game at Walmart
• The inFamous 2 website states that it can unleash a thousand volts of electricty.
• In recent pictures it would appear that the Amp changes appearance with Cole's karma level. It becomes rusty and darker when Cole has evil karma, while becoming shinier when Cole has good karma.
• It is possible the finishers for the Amp depend on Cole's karma level.
