Tesla cannon (Beta)

The Beta Tesla Cannon is a cut version of the Tesla Cannon, presumably an early beta version. It is aesthetically identical to a Missile Launcher and uses Missiles as its ammunition source. It can be obtained via a glitch or console commands.

Characteristics
As already mentioned the weapon is both identical to and uses the same ammunition as ordinary Missile Launchers, but still fires the same blast of electricity as the normal Tesla Cannon. This Beta Tesla Cannon (though it is just called "Tesla Cannon" in the game) actually delivers less damage then the actual Cannon, and uses up more A.P. per shot. However it can actually be repaired by ordinary Missile Launchers (but not vice versa). This means that unlike the Tesla Cannon, the Beta Tesla Cannon can be repaired to 100% indefinitely (assuming the player's Repair skill is high enough).

Location
One copy of this weapon can be found outside the map boundaries at Satellite Relay Station. It is obtainable via some rather tricky jumping (done though a minor glitch) or console commands.

Obtaining the Weapon
4sTRINCY1RM


 * 1) This glitch is best utilised during the Liberty Prime destruction sequence, after Liberty Prime blows up and his head is propelled southwards use his head as reference and head south-west towards an outcropping of rocks and you should soon hit an invisible wall, denoting the map boundary, after trying to jump up onto a ledge. After you are in a position where you can see the Wasteland but you are blocked by the invisible wall SAVE the game here.
 * 2) Reload that same save, and while the game is loading, start pushing forward on the left stick and jumping repeatedly until the game loads and your character has jumped (you may need to reload and try again) past the invisible wall.
 * 3) Now that you have jumped the invisible wall head slightly south as you are going westwards. You will eventually come across a table with a what appears to be a Missile Launcher levitating on top and 3 ammo boxes underneath. This weapon is the Beta Tesla Cannon, and the ammo boxes contain some Missiles.
 * 4) Exit the cliffs from the way you got up. If you can't however don't worry as there is another way to get back inside the Map boundary: you can skirt round to the North side of the map and jump down from on top of the building that got partially blown up during the Liberty Prime set-piece.
