The Solar Scorcher is a unique energy weapon in Fallout 2.
[edit] Background
Main article: Laser Pistol
The Solar Scorcher is a special laser pistol which uses sunlight as energy source. In full daylight, the experimental photo-electric cells absorbs light and feeds the weapon for firing six shooting maximum, after which it must be reloaded.
This rare weapon was seen in the Vault 13 in the armory before the events of Fallout, so before 2161. It might have been sent to the vault as a experimental weapon for test in real condition when opened.
It shoots a red laser bolt.
[edit] Sunlight
- One nice thing about this weapon is that it does use a special ammo, the sunlight, and does not cost any AP to reload and not ammunitions. However you may only recharge this weapon either under sunlight or bright light. Any kind of dimness (at night or be in a cave) will prevent this weapon from recharging. It is thus advisable that, should you use this weapon regularly, try to use in the sunlight and recharge regularly, especially after battle.
[edit] EPA
The Solar Scorcher was orignally going to be included at the Environmental Protection Agency, but the location was cut. Killap's Restoration patch returns it to the EPA, and it will not be found in the Guardian of Forever.
