Salvaged Assaultron head (Automatron)

The salvaged assaultron head is a weapon in the Fallout 4 add-on Automatron.

Characteristics
The salvaged assaultron head is a unique pistol-grip energy weapon that, as the name suggests, consists of little more than the severed head of an Assaultron someone turned into a powerful hand-held laser gun. Similar to the Laser musket, it can be charged up to five times by reloading it repeatedly, increasing the damage each time. Contrary to the laser musket, charging the assaultron head involves no visible action by the shooter although the head will gain a red glow of increasing brightness depending on the charge level.

Every time the assaultron head is fired, it exposes the shooter to varying amounts of radiation, with each fully charged shot creating a burst of 45 rads.

Despite actual Assaultrons firing a continuous laser beam from their heads for a few seconds, the severed head only emits a single pulse per pull of the trigger, similar to any regular semi-automatic Laser gun.

Weapon modifications
The salvaged assaultron head cannot be modified.

Location
Found in a large red chest shortly before exiting Fort Hagen Hangar.

 * Throwing a grenade when armed with the salvaged assaultron head will sometimes irradiate the user as if they had fired it.
