Laser Detonator

The laser detonator is a "weapon" in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Background
The laser detonator is a detonator powered with microfusion breeder and using laser illumination to trigger the nuclear warheads found around the Divide. It fires a series of coded pulses of visible red laser-light similar to a laser designator and therefore dealing does not deal any damage. When the laser is aimed at a nuclear warhead, it causes it to heat up, eventually leading to the chemical explosive inside detonating, scattering radioactive material around.

It is similar in design and shape to the Compliance Regulator. It has a green coloration with red trim at the barrel, and a glowing yellow light next to the keypad and screen.

Characteristics
It fires a continuous beam similar to that of a laser rifle or pistol, except for the duration. It does not deal damage and therefore serves no purpose other than destroying nuclear warheads. This weapon is essential for completing the Warhead Hunter challenge.

Location

 * Marked men camp, on the roof of the building next to the Red Glare.

Bugs

 * If the player character have Euclid's C-Finder, there may be some interaction between it and the laser detonator to the point where the laser detonator will not blow up the warhead. If this occurs, drop the C-Finder, blow up the warhead and pick up the C-Finder again.
 * Sometimes when firing the laser detonator, the beam will disappear and the gun will still shake if it is being fired. It will not blow up warheads while doing this, and to fix it one only has to stop firing and fire it again.
 * The mesh file for this weapon points to a specific texture for the yellow circle on the side - intended to show an oscilloscope display identical to the Gabriel's Bark variant of the sonic emitter. Since the texture path is incorrect, this part of the laser detonator simply shows up as a bright yellow circle.
