Zeta gun

The Zeta gun is a unique weapon in Fallout 4 and a possible reward for completing The Secret of Cabot House.

Characteristics
The Zeta gun is a specially modded Gamma gun that does a low amount of damage without any special radiation poisoning effect. It is also significantly weaker than the Lorenzo's Artifact gun that can also be gained as a reward for The Secret of Cabot House. Because of these facts, it appears that this weapon might be an intentionally weak weapon to be used as a "consolation prize" of sorts for siding with Lorenzo instead of Jack (though siding with Lorenzo also gets the player a replenishable supply of the powerful Mysterious serum, which may more than compensate for the weakness of this weapon).

Jack's notes state that, as a mobile version of Lorenzo's psychic restraint, it may be used to weaken Lorenzo while fighting him. The drop in damage may be explained by the gun giving off 'Zeta Radiation', a supposedly harmless energy to normal people, but to Lorenzo it can prove lethal.

Like the Lorenzo's Artifact, this is actually a normal Gamma gun with a unique mod (the Zeta dish); it is possible for the player to build the standard dish mod to restore the Gamma gun's original power.

Variants

 * Gamma gun
 * Lorenzo's Artifact

Locations

 * If the player sided with Lorenzo, this will be found on Jack.
 * If the player sided with Jack, a Zeta gun can still be found in Cabot House.

Bugs

 * It is possible to get atleast 4 Zeta guns throughout the secret of Cabot house questline. The first can be stolen from the bench upon first entering, the second can be looted off the corpse of Jack Cabot if siding with Lorenzo, the third will be back on the bench as a takeable item rather than a stealable item. The last will re-appear on the bench after the player has not entered Cabot House for an undefined amount of time. Sometimes more will re-appear on the bench over time, but it is seemingly random.
 * You can also acquire both the Zeta gun and the Lorenzo's artifact gun if you take the Zeta gun out of his home lab when you first enter the house and the artifact gun after you side with Jack.
