 * Good Intentions, a unique AER9 laser rifle with the Enraging effect which, on critical hits, causes targets to frenzy. It is carried by Clint.
 * Prototype UP77 "Limitless Potential", a unique laser gun with the Never Ending effect, which gives the weapon unlimited ammo capacity and remove the need for reloading. It can be found in a hidden room in the University Credit Union.
 * Righteous Authority, a unique AER9 laser rifle. With the Lucky effect, its critical hits do double damage and the critical meter fills 15% faster. It is given as a reward for completing Call to Arms.
 * Wazer Wifle, a unique laser rifle with the Never Ending effect, which gives the weapon unlimited ammo capacity and remove the need for reloading. It is given as a reward for completing three unmarked quests for Shaun after finishing the main quest with any faction.

Location
The Survivor's Special is a potential reward for completing the quest The Lost Patrol by convincing Paladin Brandis to return to the Brotherhood of Steel.

It is also possible to steal the weapon from Paladin Brandis before the quest ends. If it is stolen this way, it will be removed from the player character's inventory when leaving Fort Hagen during the Reunions mission. The laser pistol will be removed as soon as the security door leading to the roof of Fort Hagen is opened (via the unsecured terminal on the right).

Bugs
Paladin Brandis may not award this weapon if convinced to rejoin the Brotherhood.
 * A solution to this is to complete The Lost Patrol after the Prydwen arrives in the Commonwealth.
