Tesla-Beaton Prototype

The Tesla-Beaton prototype is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It is a unique variant of the Tesla cannon.

Characteristics
The Tesla Beaton Prototype looks like the Tesla cannon (Fallout 3), but with orange glow instead of blue, and a fully encased energy emitter.

The Crashed Vertibird where it is found appears to have been from the Navarro Enclave Base. This may suggest that the Enclave stole the technology of the Tesla cannon and tried to create a more powerful version, at the cost of a higher energy consumption. Each shot is 45 electron charge packs.

Locations
The Tesla-Beaton Prototype can be found at the Crashed Vertibird, near the Old Nuclear Test Site far southeast. There can be 6 hardened Sentry Bots, and 4 hardened Mister Gutsy guarding the Crashed Vertibird nearby.

Behind the scenes
