You'll get these weapons later. Imperial repeater, Fusion cutter
and Concussion rifle use power cells.

In Dark Forces, the 3rd level (Anoat City-Subterranean hideout
where you are suppose to find Moff Rebus) everytime I kill an enemy I
get Power Cells, but they don't seem to do anything, I get no ammo and
no shields or life from them. I have the Bryor Pistol & Storm Trooper
Rifle. Should I have picked up another weapon in one of prior missions

where these power cells would do something (if so, where) or is there
something I'm missing in this level?

Thanks

But what good are the power cells?

In article <4acqo8$i...@usenetp1.news.prodigy.com>,

For exactly what he said. Power cells power some weapons in the game
(this is even documented in the manual!). You won't be able to use
them in level 3 (because none of those weapons are found until later levels)
but Kyle will store them away for use when he does find those weapons.

The weapons mentioned above used power cells as ammo as opposed to the
energy units that the pistol and rifle use (I believe).

No, but you will need them later in the game.
