Compliance Regulator

The Compliance Regulator is a unique weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.

Characteristics
The Compliance Regulator is an electroshock weapon and a unique version of the standard laser pistol, in that not only does it fire a blue beam instead of the normal red, but upon a Critical Hit on an enemy they are paralyzed for 10 seconds.

This weapon is extremely useful for pacifist players since ammunition is easier to obtain than purchasing "12 gauge bean bag" rounds, and can be found easily early on in the game. Unlike the 12 gauge bean bag round, critical hits are neccesary; however, sneak attack criticals will always cause an enemy to be paralyzed.

It can be repaired with the laser pistol. With the Jury Rigging perk, it also can be repaired with any regular energy pistol.

Variants

 * Laser pistol, standard variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
 * Pew Pew, unique laser pistol found at the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters.
 * Missing Laser Pistol, found only during the Pistol Packing unmarked quest.

Locations

 * Fallen Rock Cave, found in the room with a reloading bench and a terminal. After navigating the trip wire at the entrance of the room, the mine behind the teddy bear, and the two rigged guns, the gun can be found hidden behind an open wooden box containing 10 energy cells and 3 drained microfusion cells. Be careful as the cave is full of traps.

Bugs

 * It's possible to freeze yourself with the gun if you have the Meltdown perk. If the killing shot is a critical hit, and you're in the radius of the Meltdown explosion, you will paralyze yourself.
 * Strangely, it always cripples the limbs of spore carriers in one hit, allowing you to cripple all of their limbs without doing a great amount of damage.
