Alien Blaster (Fallout: New Vegas)

The alien blaster is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
It is identical in appearance to the Alien Blaster in Fallout 3. It is one of the most powerful pistols in the game, requiring only 1 strength to use effectively. It always critically hits.

Locations
The alien blaster is found just north of Horowitz Farmstead, but is only available to players that have the Wild Wasteland trait. If the Wild Wasteland trait is not chosen, the YCS/186 Gauss rifle can be found in the same spot.

With the Wild Wasteland trait active the player will stumble upon 3 live aliens and a ship, the player will get the gun and ammo off the Alien Captain's corpse.

Bugs

 * Sometimes, the Alien Captain's corpse will have the 166 Alien Power Cells, but not the Alien Blaster itself. This can be fixed by simply reloading a save.
 * You can kill ED-E with this weapon but still retain the perk ED-E gives you. Although you cannot get Rex as your new companion.
 * If the player takes out the alien captain and a alien from a distance without being found, the last alien will not be hostile. But cannot be interacted with, if the player leaves the area and comes back, the alien will still be there non-hostile. The player can approach the alien but it won't react. It will remain non hostile until attacked.

Appearances
The alien blaster appears in Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3.
