The Enclave plasma pistol is a powerful energy weapon sidearm in Fallout 3.

Characteristics[]

It fires superheated bolts of green plasma. The plasma pistol uses a semi-automatic firing action, along with sixteen shots from an energy cell. Upon firing the weapon, a large green burst of plasma is created which partially obstructs the view. The plasma bolt can be used to ignite the gas from a distance.

Durability[]

The plasma pistol can fire a total of about 400 bolts, the equivalent of 25 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants[]

  • MPLX Novasurge Mothership Zeta (add-on)- The prototype version of the Enclave's plasma pistol that was produced before the war, the Novasurge is about three times as powerful as the normal plasma pistol. However, it has double the weight and uses twice as much ammunition per shot as the regular plasma pistol.
