Sonic Emitter (weapon)

The sonic emitter is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Characteristics
Being grey in color and having four blue vacuum tubes as well as a blue oscilloscope on the rear, it fires a ring of blue energy towards its targets. It is said to have the ability to disable shields, unlock new areas and has the merit of being upgradeable and is given to you fairly early in the game. It somewhat resembles the pulse gun found in Vault 34.

While exploring the Big Empty, the Courier may discover holotapes which contain miscellaneous sound files. These may be uploaded to Blind Diode Jefferson, the Jukebox. When uploaded, the sounds made when the Emitter is shot changes, and is made to sound like the name of the file. In addition, the oscilloscope's color changes, varying on the current sound file. Note that these changes are purely cosmetic, and will not affect gameplay.
