Alien blaster pistol

The alien blaster pistol is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
The gun is very futuristic in appearance, with a chrome and red paint job. It fires blue bolts of energy, and deals 55 damage without any pistol perks. With maximum levels in science this weapon can be modified to run using fusion cells. This reduces the damage by one point, but extends the battery size and allows for continued use of the weapon once its standard ammo cells are depleted.

The downside to this weapon is its large shot size and slow projectile speed - these can lead to shot missing to clipping cover where a normal round would have gone through. The game treats this gun as if it is silenced for detection, but does not confer the skill based boosts to damage for a silenced weapon from Mister Sandman, or other sources.

Weapon modifications

 * Short barrel
 * Standard magazine
 * Standard sights
 * Standard grip
 * Fusion magazine

Locations
It can be looted off an alien (after killing it), who is found inside a cave next to a UFO that crashes from the sky.

The event may be mentioned by the follower, who may comment on seeing something crashing from out of the sky. The event is loud, and a crash is heard. Go east of Oberland Station, or north of Vault 81, to find the crash site, you can also use the "garbled radio signal" radio signal to find the crash site. There should be fire around the crash site, making it easily spotted at night. Follow the green blood splatters to an unmarked cave. Inside the cave is a live alien that has the blaster.

Note

 * The description of Fusion magazine says "Reduced damage and ammo capacity. Changes ammo type to Fusion cells." But the ammo capacity actually increases unlike the description.

Bugs

 * Sometimes when in V.A.T.S. mode, the default pistol firing sound can be heard.
