Captain's Sidearm

The Captain's Sidearm is a unique weapon $$

Gameplay
The Captain's Sidearm is a unique variant of the Alien Blaster. Unlike the standard variant, the Captain's Sidearm uses Alien Power Modules instead of Alien Power Cells. It uses 3 rounds and fires a spread of 6 energy projectiles with a much wider spread, similar to a shotgun. Although it looks like an Alien Blaster, it can only be repaired using Alien Atomizers or Alien Epoxy, or at vendors.

Durability
The Captain's Sidearm can fire a total of about 714 times, the equivalent of 24 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Alien Atomizer - The common variant of the Alien Atomizer found on Mothership Zeta.
 * Atomic Pulverizer - Although only slightly more powerful than the Alein Atomizer, the Pulverizer uses only 12 AP per shot.
 * Alien Blaster - The base variant of the Alien Blaster.
 * Firelance - Harder to obtain, yet slightly weaker than the blaster, the Firelance causes fire damage if the target survives the initial blast and is affected by the Pyromaniac perk.

Location
The Captain's Sidearm can be obtained after defeating the Alien Captain on the bridge of Mothership Zeta.

Bugs
This weapon does not receive a bonus from the Xenotech Expert perk. This may have been intentional because of its unique effects.
