Still, most shopkeepers will stock enough of this ammo to get you by. They take micro fusion cells, which are a bit more rare than the energy cells the pistol uses. The AP cost is very low, so it's easy to fire off four to six shots in VATS as the enemy approaches. They are highly accurate weapons, allowing for excellent performance a high range. Finding one in the early game can be tough, but you'll find more and more as you progress through the game. Laser Rifle: Laser Rifles are powerful medium to long range energy weapons. It benefits from the gunslinger perk like any other one-handed weapon and has a higher critical chance than the 10mm handgun. The ammo is very common, making it a weapon you can use without worry as soon as you find it. You can find them in shops, so keeping laser pistols repaired shouldn't be a very big problem. It deals more damage than a 10mm handgun, for sure. I really love energy weapons and this is of course the first one I got when playing through the game.

If you're lucky enough to get one, great! I feel you can get by easily without one of these. It's a very nice weapon, especially with the Pyromaniac perk. In addition, it deals burning damage to enemies. The weapon itself does more damage than a normal Alien Blaster, with the same high chance to critial. If you have any tips to getting this random encounter, share them below using the comment form. Still, don't bother hunting for this weapon as you're unlikely to find it. I'm not sure if you can encounter this event multiple times, or if it occurs only once. The Firelance uses the same ammunition as the Alien Blaster, that is, Alien Power Cells. I've played 60 hours on my current game and haven't encountered this yet. The trouble is, you're unlikely to encounter them really. There are several of these events in the game.

That is, you're travelling on the world map and a random event occurs. Even if you're an energy weapons specialist, I recommend you skip exploting the game to get this weapon.ДЇirelance: The Firelance can only be found through a random encounter. It doesn't do any more damage per shot than a normal laser pistol. It is fine outside of VATS, but it's a fully automatic laser pistol and owning it is basically asking for having troubles with the ammo of the gun. Honestly, this weapon is not worth the trouble it takes to get it. Try to shoot the pistol out of his hand while using a stealth boy or just kill him. Don't talk to Colonel Autumn if you do this or you'll potentially ruin your game. Have a look at this video to see how it's done. They're great for tough encounters like deathclaws and the like.Д¬olonel Autumn's Laser Pistol: This weapon can't really be gained without exploiting the game. This makes the 120 rounds of ammo you find near the alien body more significant. If you're an energy weapons specialist, you'll kill almost anything in a single blow to the head. The blaster literally guarantees a critical hit. It doesn't use any other form of ammo, so it's likely the most scare ammo in the game ( a bit more can be found in fort independence). Look for the small light blue alien power cells to get the ammo it takes. The blaster is found to the south of the ship, when you finally find it. The alien ship is crash-landed in the southwestern corner of the square here. Listen to the radio signal and you'll hear that it gets a bit stronger as you near the square I suggested. You'll eventually pick up a new radio signal, a beacon. If you have the MDPL-13 power station revealed, or minefield, it's easier to fast walk there and head north. To get to the alien crash site, you'll need to be in the square 2 east and 10 north from Megaton. Fortunately the enclave camps at the end of the game are endless sources of plasma rifles to keep A3-21's Rifle melting mutants.ДЄlien Blaster: The Alien Blaster is found at the alien crash site. It's of course a modified Plasma Rifle, and can only be repaired with them. You get this weapon as a reward for completing The Replicated Man in Rivet City. It's not great at a long range but it can pummel opponents up close. The Weapons (Alphabetical List)ДЄ3-21's Plasma Rifle: This is likely my favorite mid-range energy weapon. The primary stat for energy weapons is perception, and having higher values in it will increase the damage done by all energy weapons. Thankfully, the gear they carried will remain for the most part unharmed.

Victims to powerful blasts of energy will disintegrate. The most basic of the energy weapons deals nice damage, and they are for the most part quite accurate, especially in the form of the Laser Rifle. You will go a short time without access to quality energy weapons, but once you have them you will be very powerful. Energy weapons are very interesting guns in Fallout 3.
