Vengeance (Fallout 3)

Vengeance is a unique and very powerful Gatling Laser in Fallout 3.

Characteristics

 * It deals massive damage and its ammo isn't that hard to find (uses EC packs). The only downside is that it is difficult to repair this item because Gatling Lasers can be very hard to find. It has 500 more HP than its normal variant.


 * Due to its incredibly fast firing rate, Vengeance degrades quite quickly. Gatling Lasers are most common among late-game high-level Enclave soldiers and Brotherhood of Steel Paladins, making it a difficult weapon to repair yourself.
 * Broken Steel adds Super Mutant Overlords, who occasionally use Gatling Lasers.


 * This weapon is also an excellent choice for performing VATS sneak attacks with. On Very Hard Mode with 100 in Big Guns and Better Criticals, it is possible to one-shot Deathclaws.


 * Will often glitch, causing the laser it fires to turn invisible, aside from the red splashes that occur at the location from which the laser comes and the impact point (not a harmful bug, but still mentionable.)

Location

 * Vengeance can be found in the Deathclaw Sanctuary, which is located in the northwest corner of the map. The sanctuary is filled with a large number of Deathclaws, so be prepared for a fight.


 * Vengeance itself is found in the southeast of the sanctuary, and is located next to the pool of blood, in a group of green mushrooms and mutilated human remains under a rock formation. (The opening to the rock formation is easily missed so you should put on your pip boy light)

Strategies

 * Making it past the Deathclaws can be difficult, so if you're set on getting the weapon, then you should use whatever means necessary to clear a path. This includes sneak attack headshots, Flamers, the Dart Gun, shotguns, and/or explosives (such as a Bottlecap Mine or Nuka Grenades). The Deathclaw article has more detailed instructions on how to deal with them.


 * With some luck, a player can sneak past the Deathclaws without starting a fight at all. Items such as Stealth Boys and the Chinese Stealth Suit will help if you don't think you can fight them.


 * Using the Firelance while simultaneously getting headshots in V.A.T.S. can be incredibly useful for acquiring Vengeance. However it is recommended that you only do this if have a ridicously large supply of Alien Power Cells, or if you can get one hit kills every time, as the trade-off of alien power cells and degradation of the Firelance/Alien Blaster against finding Vengeance is rather unworthy.

Another effective method is to use Fawkes to clean up the Deathclaws. He's extremely tough, and his Gatling Laser can mow them down pretty easily, especially if you're providing decent fire support of your own.

Location Notes

 * Near the entrance, the Endurance Bobblehead can be found.


 * After making it to the end of the cave where the Vengeance is located, beware of the rest of the deathclaws and finding a safe passage back up.



Appearances
appears only in Fallout 3. But it might be a re-named version of the gun found in Fallout 2 (Avenger Minigun but changed so it is a Gatling Laser (Fallout 3)
