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 dealing a Critical Hit upon an enemy will paralyze them 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 necessary; however, sneak attack criticals will always cause an enemy to be paralyzed. One can also use Bulk cells, which have two advantages for the pacifist : It does less damage without impacting critical strike chance reducing the chance to kill, and it is cheaper. However, it breaks the weapon more quickly, effectively increasing the over-time weapon cost.

Durability
The Compliance Regulator can fire a total of about 995 times using standard cells, the equivalent of 34 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Laser pistol, standard variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
 * Laser Pistol (GRA), a variant of the Laser Pistol introduced in Gun Runners' Arsenal
 * Pew Pew, unique laser pistol found at the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters, during the quest A Valuable Lesson.
 * Missing laser pistol, found only during the Pistol Packing unmarked quest.

Location

 * 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.
