Vac-U 4000

The Vac-U 4000 was a gadget in Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One. It is used to suck up objects, other playable characters, or enemies. It is often used to suck up other playable characters, and then shoot them out to reach the other side of a gap and activate a button to draw a bridge so the whole team can get to the next part of a level. The Vac-U 4000 could also be used to suck up Boltergeists and shoot them out into a socket to extend a bridge or open a door. If two characters equip the Vac-U 4000 and suck two Tesla Spike-like objects, anything between the two characters would be destroyed by a laser wire that connects the Vac-Us together.

The Vac-U 4000 bears resemblance to the Suck Cannon. Furthermore, it can be used in a similar manner, however only one enemy can be sucked in and shot out at a time, albeit larger ones at that.

Gameplay
After a character is in the barrel, a trajectory line appears. If the line is blue, it means it is in the correct direction and position to take the character to the other side. If it is red, it cannot be used to shoot the character out.
