Euclid's C-Finder

Euclid's C-Finder is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The raw power of the sun, contained in an easy-to-carry package! Just point this weapon at the bad guys, and push the button. The Archimedes II orbital laser will strike down at the speed of light and reduce your foes to bones, beaks, and toenails. Once you use it, you will have to wait 24 hours for the laser to recharge. Many locals appear to flee from the Tracking laser.

If you have Veronica Santangelo as your companion it starts the I Could Make You Care quest.

Locations
Found at the Freeside's east gate. A boy named Max carries it. He is chasing a girl named Stacy. You may either buy it for 1000 caps, or it can pick pocketed from Max while he is sleeping. Max sleeps on the second floor of the building on the right if you enter Freeside from the East Gate. You can also barter Max to sell it to you for 20 caps. However, the gun will not work unless you choose to route power to Archimedes II during the quest That Lucky Old Sun.

Appearances
The Euclid's C-Finder appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Weight of 15 for one-handed pistol sized weapon


 * It is possible to obtain multiple copies of the weapon. If you buy the weapon for 1000 caps from Max in Freeside, then wait a bit, he will have another one for you to buy later on. Having multiple copies of the weapon gives you multiple charges, although you will only have one charge at one time, as this is replenished once the charge is used.


 * The Euclid's C-Finder after targeting an area will sometimes not fire, leading to a tracking beams constantly following your movements. A possible fix for this is to save and reload your game, watch out because it may cause it to actually fire the laser where you are standing within a few seconds if it works. Another way to fix this beast is to wait the tracking beams out. but be careful. if you enter a certain place with it and stand there, the beam of energy will come down and destroy you. To fix that, just aim your current weapon farther away from you and you should be able to not get hit by it. Sometimes fast traveling somewhere will fix it.


 * Sometimes you won't get a new charge after 24 hours.


 * Sometimes it will freeze your console, or PC, whenever the trigger is pulled. (Traced to the 'Heave, Ho!' perk)


 * If you are having problems getting ammo to spawn for the weapon, try getting the C-Finder from the boy first, THEN doing the Helios ONE quest.


 * Sometimes if fired indoors, you won't get replacement ammo despite it having not fired.


 * It is possible to make Max become agressive to you if you fail to pickpocket him, and constantly run away from you. He will not stop, and due to your character being unable to kill children he will stop you from being able to wait in a certain part of Freeside.


 * Sometimes you have to change your weapon then change it back to the Euclid c-finder because it wont register that it has been 24 hours so it will not give you ammo. It'll just say either 0/0 or 0/1. It will give you the ammo if you change it to a diffrent weapon then back again.


 * Attempting to use the Euclid's C-Finder with Turbo as an active effect causes the game to freeze. (Xbox 360 verified)
