Forum:Firelance?

I've been playing for quite a while explored the wastes and heard about the firelance on wiki. I've walked around for ages waiting forthe event but it never comes. Anyone care to share an easy way to obtain this exotic and kickass gun? Mr snip 10:49, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It helps to stay near tall objects like buildings, and hilltops. I've heard rumors that it might require either high luck (10) or a minimum level of 10 but I can't verify that for you. I got the alien crash random encounter on that big mountain that leads to the deathclaw sanctuary, which turned out nicely because I only heard the explosion, I didn't get a chance to look up to see it. Sadly I've played through 8 games and still haven't seen the UFO. The only thing that alerted me was the hail of glowing alien power cells and the weapon sliding down the hill at me.

If you're playing xbox, and your game experiences are anything like mine, you'll most likely get most of your firelances drops from talon company mercs. I've gotten a couple in every game, the thing is nobody seems to know if they're picking up the weapon (when you failed to while passing through the area previously), or if they just have a tiny chance of spawning with it.

I've had the encounter twice but never saw the explosion. I think this one is pretty dependant on your Luck. The first time it happened I don't know what the character had for luck but the second one, named Lucky, had 8 w/o any items and I had the encounter within an hour after leaving 101.--JiNX Bloodfang 09:55, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
