A3-21's Plasma Rifle

A3-21's Plasma Rifle is an upgraded version of the normal Plasma Rifle.

Characteristics
It does 6 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 although it is 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 both the better criticals perk and the A3-21's Plasma Rifle on 100% repair the player can kill a Deathclaw with a single head-shot.

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: By doing this, the player will not receive good or bad Karma. The player gets +200 Karma for talking to Harkness, and -200 Karma for talking to Zimmer, equaling no change in overall Karma. See the The Replicated Man page for details.

Appearances
A3-21's Plasma Rifle appears only in Fallout 3.
