Tesla Cannon (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Tesla cannon is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Tesla cannon is a shoulder-mounted energy weapon that is powered by electron charge packs. This weapon has a high strength requirement for its weight and the fact that it's a recoil-less energy weapon. The sound of the Tesla Cannon firing has also been changed from the one in Broken Steel.

The Tesla Cannon is very rare, especially if players kill off the Van Graffs, thereby eliminating the only specialty energy weapon vendor in the game. It may be more beneficial in the long run to simply retrieve the unique Tesla-Beaton prototype from the Crashed Vertibird location rather than chance it waiting on shopkeepers' inventories to randomize.

Variants

 * Tesla-Beaton prototype
 * Elijah's jury-rigged tesla cannon

Locations

 * Hidden Valley
 * Brotherhood of Steel Safehouse
 * The Great Khan armorer at the Armory outside of Red Rock Canyon will stock this at random.
 * May also be available for purchase at the Silver Rush (assuming you have not killed them or done anything to keep them from restocking)
 * May be found in the Big Empty
 * Carried by Y-17 trauma override harnesses at higher levels.

Bugs

 * In rare occasions it can be fired twice without having to reload if the trigger is pressed quickly enough.
 * Picking up the bulk ECs above the Cannon in the Brotherhood of Steel Safehouse before picking up the Cannon below it will result in the Cannon being picked up but will not show up in the inventory. The 8 WG will still apply however. Considering there is no known way to drop it, it will cause a permenant increase of 8 WG.
