Cole in inFamous 2 holding blast core
Blast Cores are new collectable objects in InFamous 2. They are Quartz crystals that are infused with Neuro-Electric energy. This energy can be used to give Conduits new abilities, especially if used in tandem with the Power Transfer Device. They are surrounded by a constant purple glow and, when used, Cole's body radiates purple light before rendering him unconcious for a short period of time while discharging short bursts of electricity.
Powers gained from Blast Cores
- Kinetic Pulse (gained from Wolfe)
- Ionic Vortex (gained from Nix)
- Improved Static Thrusters, Car Jump, and Precision (gained from St. Charles Cemetary)
- Cryokinesis or Pyrokinesis (gained through Power Transfer Device)
- Megawatt Hammer (gained from Zeke through Laroche)
- Lightning Tether (gained from Bertrand's warehouse)
- Ionic Storm (gained from Ice Gang's base)
Trivia
- In the intro cinematic to inFamous 2, Kuo shows Cole a file on the Ray Sphere, which includes a memo which says "Blast Core is the Key!!" indicating that the cores may be the source of the Sphere's power, or that they originate from it.
- Cole has to find 7 Blast Cores to be Powerful enough to use the R.F.I
