A3-21's Plasma Rifle

A3-21's Plasma Rifle is an upgraded version of the normal Plasma Rifle that does 5 more damage at max energy weapons and condition. It is possessed by Harkness, and can be received by the player character through two of the endings of The Replicated Man quest. It can be repaired with normal plasma rifles it is also very durable and will not need to be repaired often. It is very effective and many times a head shot especially on weaker enemies will result in a one shot kill. with the better criticals perk and the A3-21's Plasma Rifle on 100% repair the player can one-shot a deathclaw by hitting it in the head, turning this usually tough opponant into a pile of goo before it even sees you is immensely satisfying.

The Player can still get this and the Wired Reflexes perk if he reveals Harkness' identity to himself, keep his secret safe, obtaining the weapon, then ratting him out to Zimmer or for agreeing to kill Zimmer for him (talk to Zimmer before shooting him though to get the perk).Note: The player may receive negative karma for doing so.
