Forum:What's the best energy rifle in the game?

I dont have the big tesla cannon or whatever that big mother is in broken steel.. but before that the tri beam is kicking some serious ass with damage level 71 or so Sulfate 22:04, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Well that depends, do you just mean rifles or all Energy Weapons? becuse Metal Blaster is the best amongst the rifle's becuse of it's ridiculous damage with criticals when atticking everything at close distance, and Alien Blaster is the best Energy Weapon even though it's limited supply of ammo, but there is a way to glitch more ammo for it. 81.234.140.17 23:37, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Don't leave home without A3-21's Plasma Rifle. When you first get it, you won't use anything else, which is a good thing, considering it boosted every other gun's ammo reserves to incredible levels. Butcher Pete 02:09, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

The metal blaster is almost unfair at close to medium range, especially with reaper's sprint, but the gauss rifle is more satisfying, and can make really high level enemies harmless by repeatedly knocking them on their asses, or just dismembering them with a long range sneak shot.

I only carry my chinese stealth armour and my Gauss Rifle travel light, hit hard!! Did all of broken steel without firing a shot but knew i could whoop ass if needed.

I don't leave without A3-21's plasma rifle. NEVER!

I agree with u! I have NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER!!!!!!! been anywhere in the wasteland besides Anchorage and The Pitt without my A3-21's PLASMA RIFLE!!! i have had it since the 1st time i ever visited rivet city. i got that and wired reflexes for the glitch for TRM. it is undisputedly the best weapon in all of the fallout universe!

Really? Since I'm a 360 player it's a little bit harder for me to aim yknow, so with plasma rifle's plasma bolts going to slow I find that running up close to an enemy and forcefeed it with my metal blaster is more sufficent. 81.234.140.17 23:45, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

A3-21's Plasma Rifle: Never enter the Wasteland without it! ...Seriously though, it is one of the best weapons. I can only think about one weapon I have used more, and that is the Xuanlong Assault Rifle. AngryNorwegianDude 08:54, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

The Wazer Wifle was my favorite general use weapon before I found the metal blaster. It's really accurate, so I could just sit there at a distance tagging mutants in the head while they struggled to hit me. I play on a PC though playing with a really narrow FOV - 52 degrees - so it's like I'm always partially zoomed. Imp of the Perverse 09:28, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

I always carry three: The Wazer Wifle for when I see them before they see me at long range, the Metal Blaster for when I see them before they see me up close, and A3-21's PR for when I've been spotted mid-to-close range so I can just pop off a few headshots in VATS, which is enough to take down pretty much everything but Overlords, Behemoths, and Giant/Albino Radscorpions. --98.215.132.216 20:26, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Can't get the Wazer Wifle becuse that bastard kid is glitched under the water in the main cave... I&#39;m 81.234.140.17, Adjust. 20:30, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

metal blaster and A3-21's plasma rifle are the 2 weapons i always have with me, while they may not be the most powerful weapons in the game, they are definetly the best to have since plasma rifles and laser rifles are pretty common so keeping them at 100% condition is no problem. As far as damage does tho, you cant beat the firelance with pyromaniac perk, the thing is freaking insane! BraddaJ 23:32, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
