Firelance

Firelance is a lightweight, yet powerful weapon, that uses same ammo type as the Alien Blaster. It also sets target on fire, like Flamethrower or Shishkebab, giving it -2 HP effect for 5 seconds.

Appearances
Firelance appears only in Fallout 3. It can be picked up off a random Enclave officer.

It can also be found if you have high enough luck (unconfirmed). You will hear something akin to a jet flying over followed by something exploding overhead. At night the explosion looks similar to a plasma rifle shot impacting, during the day it looks like a frag mine going off.

After the explosion, the immediate area will be strewn with Alien Power Cell ammo and the Firelance. Unfortunately, it is in no particular pattern, and you need to find the ammo (there is 24 total) and the Firelance on your own. HINT: Dogmeat is incredibly useful for this situation, as he can be told to search for a weapon and he'll fetch you the Firelance. Dogmeat can also search for ammo and retrieve the alien power cells. Alternatively, wait until nighttime and look for the ammo, which glows blue in the dark.
