Revision as of 15:10, 11 March 2012
The microwave emitter is a weapon added to Fallout 3 in the Point Lookout add-on.
Characteristics
This weapon ignores damage resistance, making it ideal for use against heavily armored foes. Critical hits will turn enemies to ash, like laser weapons.
Durability
The Microwave emitter can fire a total of about 375 shots, the equivalent of 75 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
Variants
- Mesmetron - An experimental weapon that can be given to the player by Grouse, the Mesmetron will confuse and daze an enemy instead of disintegrating them but is visually identical to the microwave emitter.
Location
The microwave emitter is found in the reward vault at the end of the quest A Meeting of the Minds.
Notes
- When you reload this weapon the animation shows the player loading a Mesmetron power cell, not a microfusion cell. However, microfusion cells are still loaded as normal.
- It is more difficult to use free-aim in first person with this weapon due to its bulk blocking a good portion of the screen.
- This weapon has pretty slow fire rate outside V.A.T.S. compared to other energy weapons. Another good reason to use V.A.T.S.
- This weapon's attack is similar to the mirelurk king's.
- Note that there is a slight delay between pulling the trigger and actually firing the weapon. Keep this in mind when firing on moving targets and adjust accordingly.
