Electro Bolt

When selected, the Electro Bolt Plasmid manifests itself as blue-lit, forked electrical currents that run through Jack's wrists and up through his fingers.

Electro Bolt is an active Plasmid that instantly releases a bolt of electricity that immediately strikes a targeted enemy at the cost of EVE. It deals no direct damage; the target enemy is temporarily stunned on impact. If a stunned enemy is not attacked, or attacked but not killed, the enemy will immediately recover and resume action. It is effective against all enemies, unless resistant or immune to electrical attacks. In which case, the stun duration is either reduced or negated completely. Using Electro Bolt on bodies of water will cause them to be electrified for a short time. All targets in contact with the water (including the player) will take significant electrical damage. Electro Bolt is required to open short-circuited door switches.

Location Acquired

Combat Strategy
Enemy Splicers stunned with this Plasmid will take 400% damage from the next attack done to them with the Wrench. This combination is called the "1-2 Punch" by Atlas. Stunned enemies are also considered to be "unaware", so a subsequent Wrench attack will benefit from having the Wrench Lurker tonics equipped.

Stunning a Security Camera, Security Bot, or Turret with Electro Bolt will cause a temporary shut down, allowing the player hacking access. However, unlike Winter Blast, Electro Bolt has no effect on the flow of liquid when hacking.

Equipping the Electric Flesh tonics will not only substantially increase the amount of electrical damage done by Electro Bolt to enemies in water, it will also make the player highly resistant or immune to electrical damage.
