Description
Cole forms blades of pure energy around each of his hands in, and they cause massive amounts of damage when used as a melee attack, along with a slow motion effect upon contact. This technique channels a large high concentration of electricity to Cole's hands. The amount of energy is so great that it becomes visible. Once the technique is completed, Cole charges forward and thrusts the blades into the target. This produces heavy amounts of damage that is usually fatal.
Like all of Cole's powers, the color of the blades is determined by your Karma; blue for Good, red for Evil. They are one-use weapons and must be re-triggered every time you use them on an enemy and consumes three battery cores. They will also be deactivated with time if you do not use them on someone. The blades are useful against Conduits (save for the Golem and the Aura conduits), and enemies with high health in general.

Trivia

- This is a perfect power to use for gaining the Up Close and Personal stunt as each blade slashes counts as a melee attack.
- Attacking a parked car will cause the car to explode immediately, while attacking a moving car (or a car with a person inside of it) will yield no results.
- EB Games started selling a Special Edition of InFamous after the game's release. Including a comic book of the game, a steel case, a figurine of Cole, and the Gigawatt Blades included within the game.
- The Gigawatt Blades are now free downloadable content at the Playstation Store.
- It is replaced by the Amp in Infamous 2 in terms of better melee and results.
