Weapons Lab

The weapons lab is a location on board Mothership Zeta. The player must travel via this location as a part of This Galaxy Ain't Big Enough... quest.

Background
The weapons lab facility is located on the upper level of Mothership Zeta through a door leading from the observation deck. As the name indicates, the Lab is the place where alien weapons are being created, thus you can find many standard weapons as well as several unique versions of these weapons.

After passing through the door near the teleporter that has inconveniently been deactivated, you will enter a large room. Immediately, you should notice two alien turrets firing at you from the ceiling. Additionally, a couple of aliens and a guardian drone inhabit this room. If you head southwest, you can find a small room on the right (open it via the control panel just next to it) that holds the atomic pulverizer, which is a slightly upgraded version of the alien atomizer.

Continue through this passageway, and you will come to a three-way intersection. Left is a blocked passageway, right goes to a flight of stairs. Go up the stairs and then take the first left. You will find yourself on the platform from which the aliens you first encountered in this room were targeting you. On this level there is a healing archway to the left and a control panel for opening up the next area. After activating the control panel, go south down a set of stairs from the platform and then proceed to a another alien/drone-infested room via the east door. Continue on until you enter a room full of weapons and armor for the taking.

This is also the only place where experimental weapons drones can be found. Outside of the experimental drone room, the control panel for alien captive log 24 can be found. After your shopping spree, you can go through a door to the north and explore a range/training area, which allows you to receive Xenotech Expert perk. But to move onward with the mission, go to the southeast door into the experimentation lab.

Notable loot

 * Alien power cells, usable with the alien blaster, in the room with other human and alien technology consisting of several ordinary alien weapons and a Gatling laser, amongst others.
 * Destabilizer (unique version of alien disintegrator) on a shelf in the training area, next to exit (B on the map).
 * Atomic pulverizer (unique version of alien atomizer), as well as a buttercup toy, in the room behind unlockable door in one of corridors (D on the map).
 * Alien power cells are inside the room with the atomic pulverizer. They are laying next to it.
 * Two drone cannon Ex-Bs (unique drone cannon), obtainable by killing the experimental weapons drones (C on the map).

Bugs

 * There is a bug with the shooting range: if you continuously press the spawn button a lot of albino radscorpions will spawn and kill the raiders. If you keep pressing the button, more albinos come along. Eventually the radscorpions will start glitching about getting on top of the cover blocks. If you press it again, an albino radscorpion will spawn in front of you which will probably result in death since the amount of them combined with their strength and endurance will be almost surely overwhelming.
 * Pressing the spawn button repeatedly, may glitch creatures or items to the top (ie. raiders, combat shotgun, glitched twice).

Appearances
Weapons lab only appears in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.
