Institute laser

The Institute laser gun is a weapon in Fallout 4. Variants include the Institute pistol and the Institute rifle.

Background
The technology for laser rifles and pistols standard-issue to Institute military and scientific personnel were developed by the organization's Advanced Systems division. The Institute's laser weapons were constructed from the ground up, unlike the Brotherhood of Steel, who use pre-War military weapons. The weapons are mass-produced in a factory located within the Institute's headquarters.

The Institute laser is a much-more bulky package and sports less stopping power than its pre-War counterpart.

Characteristics
This weapon has a similar overall function and appearance to the regular laser gun, and is commonly carried by members of the Institute and by synths. Compared to similarly equipped laser guns, Institute lasers offer a superior rate of fire at the cost of per shot damage. It is lighter than the standard laser gun and made of plastic. Its beam, when fired, appears blue instead of red. If one chooses to scrap a standard version of this item they will receive four rolls of plastic.

Institute weapons take up an large amount of the screen in first-person view, which may obstruct vision of one's surroundings.

The Institute laser has the lowest damage-per-shot of all weapons that use fusion cells, however, it makes up for this shortcoming by having a high damage-per-second rating. If ammo is abundant and/or one is partial to automatics or non-VATS based gameplay, the Institute laser excels in combat.

Variants

 * Virgil's rifle, a unique Institute laser rifle, carried by Brian Virgil.

Locations

 * Carried by Coursers and synths.
 * Many can be found and taken in SRB and Advanced Systems sections of the Institute after completing Institutionalized.
