So I've played many games of FO3 and on my second NV game, but this is the first time I've tried being an energy weapon user (instead of guns/small guns). I'm at level 12 or 13 now. Initially, due to lasers having such low damage and how damage reduction is implemented (DT versus DR) I figured that plasma weapons were a better idea.. but I've been gravitating towards laser - plasma just chews through ammo too fast, and energy weapon ammo aren't plentiful like regular bullets are. Now I'm mainly using a laser rifle and laser RCW, though I still carry a plasma rifle around.
To you guys with more experience in energy weapons, do you prefer plasma or laser? Any energy weapons in particular that are useful?

The plasma pistol (GRA) is an energy weapon in the Fallout: New Vegasadd-onGun Runners' Arsenal.

BackgroundEdit

This plasma pistol has five tributary energy arcs connected to a central cathode, and the cathode functions as a point of focus, or the barrel. The energy is projected forward, probably by an electromagnetic propeller built around the cathode. The propelled energy forms a Plasma Pinch; though rather slow, the pinch carries high levels of both thermal and kinetic energy.

CharacteristicsEdit

This weapon is a powerful energy-based pistol, firing superheated bolts of green plasma able to punch through most creatures and low to medium-level types of armor with ease.

Compared to the standard plasma pistol, the GRA variant shares the same stats and textures.^[1] However this variant was specially designed by the Gun Runners to accept modifications, which the standard plasma pistol cannot. This weapon is an improved holdout weapon.

DurabilityEdit

The plasma pistol (GRA) can fire a total of about 745 times using standard cells, the equivalent of 47 reloads, or 35 reloads when modified with the recycler, from full condition before breaking. Change background color on monitor windows 10.

ModificationsEdit

• Plasma pistol hi-energy ionizer - Increases damage by 7.
• Plasma pistol magnetic accelerator - Increases projectile speed x2.
• Plasma pistol recycler - Replenishes ammunition (1/4 shots).

VariantsEdit

• Plasma pistol - the common variant found in the Mojave Wasteland.
