Wattz 2000 Laser Rifle

From The Vault

Item page overhaul project
This article is within the scope of the Item page overhaul project. This project is dedicated to improving the quality and layout of articles about items which appear in more than one Fallout game.. If you want to participate, please check the project page.
For the military grade version of this weapon in Fallout 3, see AER9 Laser Rifle.

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. However, many enemies have good resistance to laser weapons, and as such the laser weapons are rendered much weaker against more formidable adversaries such as Enclave troops (the Adv. Power Armor MK2 has 95% (!!!) resistance against laser damage, for example). It can be used to deliver accurate critical hits from long distances however.
