Alien Atomizer (Mothership Zeta)

The  is an energy weapon of alien origin which is added to Fallout 3 with the release of the Mothership Zeta add-on.

The unique version of the gun is called the Atomic Pulverizer, which has a lower AP cost and a higher critical hit multiplier.

Characteristics

 * It slightly resembles the Mesmetron in the first person mode.
 * The atomizer has an average rate of fire, even with a good rhythm and has low damage. This makes it more ammunition intensive than the Alien Disintegrator, which has a higher damage-to-ammo ratio. It does, however, have much better accuracy.

Bugs

 * The projectile for the Atomizer is extremely long. The actual projectile is located at the end of the "tail" created by the weapon's discharge. This makes it appear to go through walls and bodies before making impact. However, it is simply a visual glitch, and has no effect on gameplay.

Obtaining
