Weapons using this ammunition

 * Gatling laser

Locations
Fusion cores can be found or created. There are currently 5 ways to obtain them:
 * Scavenge for power armor: On every suit of power armor, one will find a fusion core at half charge.
 * Search for fusion generators: Every once in a while, player characters will stumble on a fusion generator, inside there may be a fusion core, if not, they may wait for one to spawn.
 * Craft them: Player characters can craft fusion cores at chemistry stations if they have the right components.
 * Create them: Providing 100 power to a fusion core processor found at one of the power plants generates 1 fully charged fusion core per hour (not 9) - this creates a fusion core every 60 (not 7) minutes.
 * Destroy robots: certain models of robot, such as robobrains and sentry bots will always drop a fusion core on death.
