Tesla rifle (Automatron)

The Tesla rifle is a unique weapon in the Fallout 4 add-on Automatron.

Characteristics
It fires an electrical discharge that arcs between targets, and uses fusion cells as ammunition. Due to its arcing nature, the Tesla rifle is capable of damaging multiple enemies at once, but with a limited range. It is an ideal choice for close range crowd control, e.g. feral ghouls.

The Tesla rifle is one of the most efficient weapons in Survival mode, offering massive damage and using very lightweight ammunition. Per pound, without damage boosting perks, and with the charging barrel, the weapon can deal around 3,000 points of damage per pound of fusion cells (by comparison, a .50 hunting rifle deals 870). An improved long overcharged plasma gun is even more effective, boasting 4,410 (2,205 ballistic + energy) damage per pound of plasma cartridges.
 * Survival mode

Location
Can only be looted from Ivey at the end of the quest Headhunting in the Fort Hagen hangar.
