Institute laser

The Institute laser is a weapon in Fallout 4. Variants include the Institute pistol and the Institute rifle.

Background
The Institute designed their own laser weapons system from the ground up. The weapon appears rather large and bulky compared to the pre-war Laser gun and has less damage, but in return it has a faster fire rate. Institute lasers are standard-issue gear for synths, Coursers, and scientists. Almost all synth soldiers carry the weapons, but once in a while, one might instead be carrying a Shock baton or a regular ballistic firearm such as a Combat rifle.

Characteristics
This weapon has a similar overall function and appearance to the regular Laser gun, and is commonly carried by members of the Institute and by synths. Compared to similarly equipped laser guns, Institute lasers offer a superior rate of fire at the cost of per shot damage. Its beam, when fired, appears blue instead of red. If you choose to scrap a standard version of this item you will receive four plastic. Due to the low amount and value of the materials acquired from scrapping, it is recommended to sell rather than scrap.

Institute weapons take up an inordinately large amount of the screen in first-person view, which may obstruct vision of one's surroundings.

Variants

 * Virgil's rifle, a unique Institute laser rifle, carried by Virgil.

Locations

 * Carried by Coursers and synths.
 * Many can be found and taken in SRB and Advanced Systems sections of The Institute (location) after completing Institutionalized.
