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, a unique ammo 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 event spots

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.
 * Im not sure if this happened to anyone else but somewhere near the Minefield I saw some alien power cells and firelance but never saw the crash or the U.F.O.

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.
