Elijah's Advanced LAER

Elijah's advanced LAER is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Characteristics
This weapon is identical to the LAER in appearance, but differs in ammunition capacity by having five fewer shots per magazine and a slightly increased rate of fire. This gives it a higher damage-per-second (DPS), but also makes it much less durable. Given the original variant's fragility, its condition is a major concern, especially when using over-charged, optimized, or max charge ammunition.

Durability
Elijah's advanced LAER can fire a total of about 245 times using standard cells, the equivalent of 17 reloads, or 13 reloads when modified with the auxiliary recharger chip, from full condition before breaking.

Modifications
Both of the mods for the standard LAER can be applied to this weapon:
 * LAER mod - auxiliary recharger chip - Recycles one round per four shots.
 * LAER mod - prismatic lens - Increases damage by 30% per shot. Unlike applying this to the regular LAER, this variant retains its single beam, increasing its usefulness against targets with high Damage Threshold.

Variants

 * LAER - the standard variant found around the Big MT.

Locations

 * The first Elijah's advanced LAER is found on the roof of the Signal Hills Transmitter, next to four ammunition boxes and the "prismatic lens" upgrade holotape. Once taken, three lobotomites will spawn on the north.
 * The second one is on the porch of the watchtower at Little Yangtze.
 * Very rarely can be found on Y-17 trauma override harnesses.

Behind the scenes
Elijah's advanced LAER uses the same electric beam weapons technology also developed in the Secret Vault in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.
