The Plasma Grenade is a thrown explosive in Fallout 3.
Gameplay
The Plasma Grenade is a magnetically-sealed plasma delivery unit, with detonating explosives, which creates a large blast of green superheated plasma on detonation. There is a high chance to cripple limbs and a critical hit will reduce the target to green goo, even though thrown grenade criticals deal no extra damage.
Locations
- Carried by Enclave Officers out in the wasteland.
- Three in the Wheaton Armory's weapon and ammo room.
- Two in the Citadel Laboratory.
- Found inside a toilet tank in Northwest Seneca Station.
- In a pot in the Temple of the Union storeroom.
- In the bunker in the National Guard Depot.
There is one inside the Outcast Outpost after completion of the Operation: Anchorage DLC.- Carried in Lucky Harith's caravan inventory if one has invested the maximum investment into his caravan.
Often used by Smugglers.
Three can be found south in the Weapons Lab, on a table near the Alien Power Cells.- Also three are in a box on a conveyor belt, northeast area of the Cargo Hold.
Boxes with Plasma Grenades
One guaranteed grenade, 75% chance to spawn 2 to 6:
- Two in Raven Rock Level 1, behind a forcefield on the way out, near the exit.
Bugs
A glitch will sometimes occur that will cause an unlimited amount of Plasma Grenades to not be thrown regularly, but to be reloaded like a 10mm Pistol. Unequipping it will cause this glitch to stop. It can only be thrown outside of V.A.T.S. in this case.
