Solar Scorcher

The Solar Scorcher is a Fallout 2 weapon.

Without the sun's rays to charge this weapon's capacitors this gun can't light a match. However, in full daylight, the experimental photo-electric cells that power the Scorcher allow it to turn almost anything into a crispy critter.

This gun is found in the Guardian of Forever special encounter that sends you back in time to break the water chip.

One nice thing about this weapon is that it does not consume any ammo, and does not cost any AP to reload. However you may only recharge this weapon either under sunlight or bright light. Any kind of dimness will prevent this weapon from recharging. It is thus advisable that, should you use this weapon regularly, to recharge regularly, especially after battle.

The Night Vision perk will allow you to recharge this weapon later in the day, and in otherwise-darker indoor areas.

Note
Reports of the Solar Scorcher not being in the supply room of Vault 13 during Guardian of Forever encounter have occurred after installation of Killap's Restoration Mod. This has been confirmed. In Killaps restoration patch, the Solar Scorcher has been moved to it's original location in the EPA.
