Tesla Cannon (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Tesla cannon is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Tesla cannon is a shoulder-mounted energy weapon that is powered by electron charge packs. This weapon has a high Strength requirement for its weight and the fact that it's a recoilless energy weapon. The sound of the Tesla cannon firing has also been changed from the one in Broken Steel.

The Tesla cannon is rare, especially so if players kill off the Van Graffs, thereby eliminating one of the only specialty energy weapon vendors in the game.

Variants

 * Tesla-Beaton prototype
 * Elijah's jury-rigged Tesla cannon

Locations

 * Hidden Valley
 * Brotherhood of Steel Safehouse
 * The Great Khan armorer at the Armory outside of Red Rock Canyon will stock this at random.
 * May also be available for purchase at the Silver Rush after level 16 (assuming you have not killed them or done anything to keep them from restocking).
 * May be found in the Big Empty.
 * Carried by Y-17 trauma override harnesses at higher levels.
 * Inside of a High-Tech Gun case at Dry Wells.
 * There is also one in the Courier's Mile, in a container next to the barber's pole.

Bugs

 * Picking up the bulk energy cells above the cannon in the Brotherhood of Steel Safehouse before picking up the cannon below it will result in the cannon being picked up but will not show up in the inventory. The 8 WG will still apply however. Considering there is no known way to drop it, it will cause a permanent increase of 8 WG.
 * Because the Tesla cannon fires more than once per reload, in third person an electron charge pack will continually be ejected from the rear port, despite none appearing after the first shot.
