Alien blaster

The Alien Blaster is a small energy weapon of alien origin which appears in Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout 3.

Fallout and Fallout 2
A strange gun of obviously alien origin. Looks like it can support small energy cells, however.

In Fallout, the Alien Blaster can be found in the "Alien Ship" special encounter.

In Fallout 2, the Alien Blaster can be bought from a merchant that you can meet during a random encounter north of Modoc or the Alien Crash Site.

Additionally Alien Blaster can be picked up by hacking a terminal on the Enclave Oil rig in the maze room. By passing the science check when using the repair skill on a (each game randomly selected) maze room terminal one can find an easter egg. The egg 'hatches' a special item depending on players tagged skill. If the player has speech tagged and over 100% the egg is the alien blaster. Note that the game checks from the ordered list (Science, Repair, Gambling, Outdoorsman, Throwing, First aid, Doctor, Traps) first for a tagged skill over 100%, so in order to get the blaster the player mustn't have any of these skills tagged and over 100%.

The Alien Blaster is particularly devastating as a close range weapon, and along with the Turbo Plasma Rifle is one of the most formidable weapons in the Fallout games up to date.

It can be fired for 2 action points with Fast Shot and the Bonus Rate of Fire Perks. If used by a character with high skill levels and accompanying perks, it can cause up to 150 damage per hit. Very random damage and short range make it hard to consistently use effectively, so hope for a lot of criticals.

Fallout 3
In Fallout 3 the Alien Blaster is one of the most powerful weapons in the game because a critical hit is guaranteed. You will more than often be able to take down any foe you encounter with one well-aimed shot to the head.

The Alien Blaster uses Alien Power Cells, a unique ammo that is extremely hard to find. In Fallout 3 the Alien Blaster does NOT use Small Energy Cells as it does in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Locations

 * The Alien Blaster can be obtained next to the body of a dead alien lying a few feet away from his crashed spaceship. The Alien Crash Site is found due north of MDPL-13 Power Station and northwest of the Greener Pastures Disposal Site. There are only 120 Alien Power Cells found at the crash site.


 * In the Broken Steel DLC, another one can be found at Adams Air Force Base. It is held inside the armory in a box with a locked box (Hard lockpick) in the giant Enclave Mobile Base. There are also alien power cells in the numerous ammunition boxes in the room. There are 4 ammunition boxes that contain 9 power cells each (significantly more if you have the Scrounger perk), and the Armory Master also has some on his corpse.
