The Firelance is a unique Alien Blaster.
Characteristics
In addition to its 100% critical chance and high damage, the Firelance sets its target on fire upon strike causing 2 points of damage every 5 seconds. Both the Pyromaniac and Xenotech Expert perks affect this weapon and it uses the rare Alien Power Cells as ammunition.
Locations
The Firelance can only be obtained in the "Unidentified Flying Debris" random encounter. See Fallout 3 random encounter locations (type A) for locations where this event may take place. The encounter only occurs once per player character.
Notes
- The Firelance can get stuck on buildings, like a water tower in the wasteland.
- If the Firelance Event took place and you are having trouble finding the weapon, if you have Dogmeat as a companion you can have Dogmeat search the area for the Firelance.
- If the Firelance Event took place near hostile NPCs, they may utilize the Firelance.
Appearances
The Firelance appears only in Fallout 3.
Behind the scenes
- The Firelance is a reference to an identically named Martian weapon appearing in the Wasteland paragraph book, in the red herring Mars plot.
- Both the Firelance and the Alien Blaster resemble Commander Adams' pistol from the 1958 movie the Forbidden Planet, both in design and firing. The "bullets" disperse in a very similar way when they hit solid objects, such as walls.
Bugs
- It is possible that the spacecraft can glitch and leave 24 Power Cells and a Firelance stuck in the sky in addition to the regular 24 Power Cells and a Firelance on the ground (Confirmed Xbox 360).
- If the event occurs while passing trough a rocky part of the Wasteland, the Firelance may drop onto rocks and not be retrievable by Dogmeat, as he often gets stuck in them (the same with ammo).
