Precision Gatling Laser

The  is a unique Gatling Laser which is added to Fallout 3 with the Broken Steel add-on.

Location
This Gatling Laser can be found during Who Dares Wins, the final quest in Broken Steel's main plot line, where you must assault the Enclave-controlled Adams Air Force Base. When you get into the mobile platform search for the Armory (not the one on the level you first enter), there are two entrances: One leads through the Mainframe and the other through the main deck where the Deathclaws are confined. Near the entrance from the main deck you'll see an Enclave soldier, the Armory Master, wearing Tesla Armor and a special Recon Helmet called a Composite Recon Helmet. This soldier will be carrying the Precision Gatling Laser.

Comparison

 * The following information is debatable, and various tests show different results. Caution should be considered for any player considering giving either Vengeance or Precision away to an NPC (such as a caravan guard) for potential permanence.  It is advised that the player test which is better suited to keep, and which is better to give away as the claim that Precision is altogether better seems to not always be true.


 * This weapon has a critical multiplier of 4, compared to Vengeance's 1. This does not multiply the critical damage by 4, rather it multiplies the critical chance by 4. This means it is 4 times more likely to score a critical hit than Vengeance per shot. So, if the player has a high critical chance (high Luck, Finesse, Survival Guru) and/or high critical damage (Better Criticals), this weapon will be more powerful than Vengeance.


 * The maximum critical chance for any ranged attack is 18%. This means that when the Precision Gatling Laser is fully repaired, it is probable that 72% (4x18=72) of its shots will be critical hits. Add in the 15% bonus from V.A.T.S and you have an 87% chance to crit.


 * This weapon also has an "aim-assist" that slightly locks onto a target, making it much more accurate than most Big Guns.
 * The Precision Gatling Laser has a tighter spread than the normal Gatling Laser and the unique Vengeance. Wheras they both have a maximum spread of 2.0, the Precision Gatling Lasers maximum spread is 1.3, making it more predictable and accurate.
 * Overall, it is probably the most damaging version of the Gatling Laser. It has an incredible critical rate, each crit having a piercing effect on enemy armor. It's improved accuracy features also allow it to be more efficient and quick at taking out enemies.

Appearances
only appears in Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel.

Bugs
(PS3) If you use the Robotics Expert perk to turn the Sentry Bot (Fallout 3) and gun turrets against the Enclave from the Mainframe, the Armory Master will be killed. Sometimes his body will appear without the weapon. Alternatively, his body will be missing, but the weapon will be present.
