Elijah's Advanced LAER

Elijah's advanced LAER is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Characteristics
This weapon is identical to the LAER in appearance, but differs in ammunition capacity by having 5 fewer shots per magazine and a slightly increased fire rate. This gives it a higher damage-per-second, but also makes it much less durable. Given the original variant's fragility, this is a major concern, especially when using over-charged or max charge ammunition.

Modifications
Both of the mods for the LAER can be applied to this weapon.
 * LAER mod - auxiliary recharger chip - Recycles one round per four shot.
 * LAER mod - prismatic lens - Increases damage by 30% per shot. Unlike applying this to the regular LAER, Elijah's advanced LAER retains its single beam, increasing its usefulness against high DT targets.

Locations

 * It's found on the roof of the Signal Hills Transmitter, next to 4 ammunition boxes and a Sink upgrade Holotape.
 * There is also another one on the porch of the Watch tower at Little Yangtze.

Behind the scenes

 * The Elijah's advanced LAER use the same electric beam weapons technology also developed in the Secret Vault.

Bugs

 * Though the LAER mod - prismatic lens works normally it will not display the multiple projectiles like the normal LAER; it will only show the increased damage all-in-one projectile.
