Tesla Cannon (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Tesla cannon is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Tesla cannon is a shoulder-mounted energy weapon that is powered by electron charge packs.

This weapon has a high strength requirement for its weight and the fact that it's a recoil-less energy weapon.

Variants

 * Tesla-Beaton prototype

Locations

 * Silver Rush (May be available for purchase)
 * Hidden Valley bunker (May be available for purchase, after the player is given access to the weapons cache)
 * Brotherhood of Steel Safehouse (after 1.2 patch)

The Tesla Cannon is very rare, especially if players kill off the Van Graffs, thereby eliminating the only specialty energy weapon vendor in the game. It may be more beneficial in the long run to simply retrieve the unique Tesla-Beaton prototype from the Crashed Vertibird location rather than chance it waiting on shopkeepers' inventories to randomize.
