ARCHIMEDES II



 is a deadly super laser inside Helios One in Fallout: New Vegas.

You can either kill Fantastic, NCR's tech, gaining control of the laser for yourself, or assist him in fixing it, which increases your Reputation with the NCR faction.

Characteristics
The weapon draws power from a solar reactor that's also linked to Vegas' power supply. Firing it will cause a massive blue laser beam to burst from the sky, annihilating everything in its path. If you fix the laser, you will receive a Portable laser beacon which can be used to call in a laser airstrike. When you use it, you must wait 24 hours for it to recharge.

Behind the Scenes

 * The idea of the weapon seems to be based of the fictional weapon Icarus from the James Bond movie Die Another Day.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
