Pulse rifle (Fallout 2)

The YK42B pulse rifle is an energy weapon in Fallout 2.

Characteristics
While named similarly to the pulse grenade and pulse rifle prototype, it is not actually an electromagnetic pulse weapon, but instead shoots electrical pulses effective against all targets, not just electronic devices. This is the most powerful single-shot weapon one can find in the game, next to the alien blaster. However, its hitting power is offset by its relatively short range and low ammunition capacity when compared to the likes of Gauss weapons. This gun is also less accurate than Gauss weapons due to the lack of ammunition modifiers.

Locations

 * May be found after gaining access to the Brotherhood of Steel bunker in San Francisco. It can be found in one of the lockers in the lower level.
 * Granite carries one.

Bugs

 * The YK42B, unlike the YK32 pulse pistol, doesn't fire a visible purple projectile.
