After firing a line and a 0.4 second delay, the player can press the fire button again to manually detonate the line dealing 40 Explosive element Area Damage in a 3.5m radius and leaving behind a 3.25m radius sphere of Persistent Plasma that does an average of 35.56 Fire Damage per second and slows enemies by 20% for 4.6 seconds. If the player doesn't detonate it manually, the line explodes at the end of its lifetime.
Leaves behind a Persistent Plasma field that does an average of 20 Fire Damage per second for 4.6 seconds. The Plasma field's width is 2/3 of the beam's width, and extends along the entire length of the beam's path.
Adds a line above and below the primary projectile (multiple lines hitting doesn't increase DPS)

Loadout Guide

This is one of my preferred single target builds for Dreadnoughts. The Triple Split Line helps hit as much of the Dreadnought as possible as it passes through end to end, through the weak point. With how mobile Dreadnoughts are, a single line may not hit it entirely.

Going for increased mag size and ammo reservces increases the total amount of damage the Breach Cutter outputs. Going with Condensed Plasma in Tier 2 will slightly increase the total damage one magazine (3450 per mag vs 4500) will do, but have a pretty big difference in the amount the total ammo can do (9000 vs 11500).

I weigh the pros and cons between the mag damage vs total damage in this video https://bit.ly/3kW34fp
