Alien Blaster (Fallout 3)

The alien blaster is a weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
The alien blaster is one of the most powerful weapons in the game because a critical hit is guaranteed. You will often be able to take down any foe you encounter with one well-aimed shot to the head.

This weapon also has the effect of disintegrating any enemy killed with a critical shot by it (which is every shot for creatures weaker than most super mutants), identical to a laser (with the exception that the disintegration effect is colored blue instead of red).

The alien blaster does not use small energy cells as it does in Fallout and Fallout 2 instead it uses alien power cells, a unique ammunition that is extremely rare.

The weapon will break after 125 discharges, but will not jam until approximately 120 discharges; giving it only one chance to jam.

Options for repair
There are currently seven ways to repair the alien blaster:
 * Caravan merchants can repair the alien blaster.
 * Sacrificing the Firelance to repair the alien blaster.
 * Giving the alien blaster to Protector Casdin and then pickpocketing it from him. This will bring the blaster to 100% repair. Note: Killing him may not always leave the alien blaster on his corpse.
 * The alien blaster that was obtained at Adams Air Force Base can be used to repair the alien blaster (Broken Steel add-on).
 * The Haley's Hardware glitch can be utilized to repair it to 100% (Point Lookout add-on).
 * Using alien epoxy (Mothership Zeta add-on).
 * Somah can repair it to 100% (Mothership Zeta add-on).

Variants

 * Firelance - Harder to obtain, yet slightly weaker than the blaster, the Firelance causes fire damage if the target survives the initial blast and is affected by the Pyromaniac perk.

Locations

 * The alien blaster can be obtained next to the body of a dead alien lying a few feet away from his crashed spaceship. The Alien crash site is found due north of MDPL-13 Power Station and northwest of the Greener Pastures Disposal Site. There are also 120 alien power cells found at the crash site.
 * Adams Air Force Base . Held in the armory inside a locked box (Hard lockpick) in the giant Mobile Base Crawler. There are also alien power cells in the numerous ammunition boxes around the room.
