Article of the day

The Wattz 2000 Laser Rifle uses micro fusion cells for lasers more powerful than in the case of the Wattz 1000 Laser Pistol, and an extended barrel for additional range.

Having a very long range and acute accuracy, the laser rifle can be effectively used in long distance combat. It can be used to deliver accurate critical hits from long distances.

Fallout world
The Fallout world is not quite our own. It is an alternate reality which diverged from ours at some point after the second World War.

The base concept for the setting is the World of Tomorrow as imagined in the Golden Age of Science Fiction. This means that before the Great War, the Fallout world was more or less what the people of the 1940s and 1950s thought things would be like in 2077.

But history after the second World War is not the only difference; the Fallout universe is also fundamentally different in terms of how science works (see Divergence).

The most important event in the Fallout setting was the Great War which happened on October 23, 2077. It lasted a mere two hours, but was unbelievably destructive and changed the world for centuries to come.
