The Disintegrator is a weapon which was cut from the final version of Fallout: New Vegas.
Background
The AER9 features a titanium housed crystal array which proved to withstand long years of exposure to the elements much better than the gold alloy housing of the later models. As a result, the crystal arrays stayed focused within operating parameters, rather than falling completely out of focus like the newer models.[1] Power is drawn from microfusion cells and processed through a wave/particle diverter manufactured by General Atomics International. The diverters are protected by a carbon-fiber housing, preventing frequent malfunction, but when a diverter fails the weapon becomes unusable.[2]
The AER9 was actually not the top laser rifle in service at the time of the Great War. The model line went up to the state-of-the-art AER12, which saw service in a handful of specialty units. The AER9 is much more commonly found due to being much sturdier and more reliable than the models that followed.[1] A new model, the AER14, was in development prior to the War, with at least one prototype surviving in Vault 22.
Characteristics
With over 3000 DPS and 1000 damage per shot, this laser weapon will destroy anything in your way. If that's not enough, this weapon always crits for an extra 22 damage, a negligible addition to the already massive damage but also ensuring that your target will be reduced to a pile of ash.
It is quite obvious the Disintegrator was a test weapon.
Variants
- Plasma Rifle Always Crit
Locations
The Disintegrator can only be obtained via console commands.
It can be obtained by shooting it out of Jean-Baptise's hands using Vats as soon as you enter the Silver rush for the first time.
Notes
- This can not be modded with regular Laser rifle weapon mods.
- This weapon cannot take max or overcharge MF Cells
- Once added to the game, this weapon may show up in dead enemy inventories.
