Destabilizer (Mothership Zeta)

The  is an energy rifle of alien origin which is added to Fallout 3 with the Mothership Zeta. It is the unique version of the Alien Disintegrator.

Characteristics

 * The Destabilizer is fully automatic, instead of semi-automatic like the Disintegrator.
 * Despite the fact that the weapon is automatic, it fires single-shot within V.A.T.S.


 * The Destabilizer has the highest base damage out of all the Energy Weapons in the game. The base damage can be increased an additional 20% with the Xenotech Expert Perk.


 * The Destabilizer is slightly less accurate than the Disintegrator. (i.e. the shots spread farther apart)


 * The Destabilizer has a slightly longer reload animation than the Disintegrator. However, due to the very large (100 shot) clip, this is rarely an issue in combat.
