Firelance

Firelance is a variant of the Alien Blaster and is one of the most powerful weapons in the game. It uses Alien Power Cells, unique ammunition that is extremely hard to find. It is spawned by a random encounter. For information on tips to possibly trigger the event, please refer to the discussion page of this article.

Locations

 * The location of the "Firelance Event" is not fixed and is random. Several examples are listed on the discussion page of this article.
 * There are several defined random encounter spots where the Firelance Event may take place, but they are also sites where many other kinds of random encounters might occur.

Appearances
The Firelance appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * It is possible that the spacecraft can glitch and leave 24 Power Cells and a Firelance stuck in the sky in addition to the regular 24 Power Cells and a Firelance on the ground.

Trivia

 * Both the Firelance and the Alien Blaster resemble Commander Adams' pistol from the 1958 movie the Forbidden Planet, both in design and firing. The "bullets" disperse in a very similar way when they hit solid objects, such as walls.
