Alien Blaster (Fallout: New Vegas)

The alien blaster is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The alien blaster is one of the most powerful weapons in the game because a critical hit is guaranteed. You will often be able to take down any foe you encounter with a single shot to the head. This weapon also has the effect of disintegrating any enemy killed with a critical shot by it, identical to a laser with the exception that the disintegration effect is colored blue instead of red.

As with the alien blaster, the ammunition used by the pistol is also unique, meaning the 140-250 alien power cells found on the alien captain cannot be found anywhere else, limiting the use of the alien blaster.

Due to its extraterrestrial origins, the alien blaster cannot be repaired with any earth weapons. With the Jury Rigging perk however, the alien blaster can be repaired with any other energy based pistols, except for the missing laser pistol and Euclid's C-Finder.

Locations
The alien blaster is found just north of Horowitz Farmstead, but is only available to players that have the Wild Wasteland trait. If the Wild Wasteland trait is not chosen, the YCS/186 gauss rifle will replace the alien blaster.

The alien blaster is found on the alien captain, along with 140-250 alien power cells. The captain is aided by two other aliens, all 3 are armed with laser weapons.

Bugs

 * Sometimes the alien captain does not carry the Alien Blaster, if this happens simply loading a save from before you encounter the aliens solves this problem.
