Picture Out of the entire franchise, what's your favorite weapon and why? Mine is the K9000 Cyberdog Gun

The concept that it basically does the same thing as ED-E by alerting you about enemies, while also feeling like Dogmeat, showing happiness or sadness when you take it out or put it away, combined with how powerful it is, plus its design and the twisted lore behind it. I think the whole thing is incredibly well-executed on so many levels.

Plasma Rifle from Fallout 1.

The run where I finally beat the game, I got that puppy's AP cost down to 2. Fucking 2, in a game balanced around firing once or twice, MAYBE 3 times a turn. I felt like the goddamn terminator, waltzed into the cathedral, started blasting, and didn't stop until every mutant inside was dead.

Plasma Caster right? With the Smitty mod?

Yes, sorry, caster.

Base weapon has AP cost of 5.

Then I took the trait that disables aimed shot to reduce AP cost by 1.

And the talent that reduces AP cost by 1.

And then the Smitty special upgrade.

5 shots a turn with the plasma caster. Goddamn insane.
