Forum:Help finding a recharger pistol at high levels.

Hello. My character is level 30 on New Vegas and I've decided to try going through the rest of the quests on Hardcore mode. But my ammo alone can make me over encumbered considering I use nothing but energy weapons. I was wondering if there is a way to buy a recharger pistol somewhere to at least get rid of my laser pistols and ammunition for it. Most of the locations that were listed on the Recharger Pistol page were at low levels. I've tried seeing the people who sell them but haven't had much luck yet. So if you are at a high level like me, would it not be possible to get a recharger pistol, or is it just rarer because it's a lower level weapon?

Have you checked the whole building at the Silver Rush (ie back room and upstairs)? It think I remember picking up one there. Portfan 16:21, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

Yes I did check there. I never took anything from there before and when I looked around, I just stole everything in there and it wasn't in there, upstairs either. I read from multiple places that there is one in the Silver Rush, but I honestly checked every room, shelf and box. It was no where.

I can't really offer any suggestions. I was curious though. What did you find at the Repconn Test site? Because, it says at higher levels you're likely to find recharger pistols and plasma defenders there. Dopesmylez 20:20, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

Did you check the corpses and the front desk they sometimes pick it when you attack them. There should be one on the front desk though. Oh and check the wiki for locations of dead Bright followers they normally have rechargers on them. KiwiBird 20:25, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

As Dopesmylez said, check the REPCONN Test Site. I just went through there at level 42 and found a few Recharger Pistols. Gary 42 03:55, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

(Dead) Bright Brotherhood followers sometimes have them without regard to player level (one energy weapon including the recharger pistol). One at a time Dead bright Followers can be found in Goodsprings cave, under railroad bridge W of Sloan, near gas pump at Nipton road rest stop, in the Primm Pass, Coyote Den (off railroad tracks between Nipton & Prospector's Den), near billboard north of wellhorn ranch, near concrete support for downed hi-power line south of ranger Station Charlie; several can be found in and around Repconn Test Site. That is all the dead bright Followers I can think of but I'm sure I have forgotten at least one. The recharger pistol in the Silver Rush in on one of the tables surrounding Gloria, think it on her left side among some other energy pistols, but might be in front of her.75.67.224.12 07:50, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, what weapons you carry and how manny ammo? Concerning the pistols, the Van Graffs and BoS sell them, you can find on Dead Brotherhood ghouls and at the beginning of HH DLC. Brfritos 12:40, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
