Firelance

Firelance is a weapon in Fallout 3. It is the unique variant of the alien blaster.

Characteristics
In addition to its 100% critical chance and high damage, the Firelance sets its target on fire upon strike, causing 2 points of damage every second for 5 seconds. Both the Pyromaniac and Xenotech Expert perks affect this weapon and it uses the rare alien power cells as ammunition.

Durability
Firelance can fire 63 shots, the equivalent of 7 reloads, from full condition, before breaking.

Variants

 * Alien blaster - The common variant found in the Capital Wasteland.
 * Captain's Sidearm - A unique, cleaner, shinier alien blaster used by the alien captain.

Locations
The Firelance can only be obtained in the "Unidentified Flying Debris" random encounter or through console commands. See Fallout 3 random encounter locations (Type A) for locations where this event may take place. The encounter occurs only once per game (character playthrough).

Behind the scenes

 * The Firelance is a reference to an identically named martian weapon appearing in the Wasteland paragraph book, in the red herring Mars plot.
