Talk:LAER mod - prismatic lens

Same as Laser Rifle?
I'm worried about adding this onto my LAER. I know that the Laser Rifle has a similar mod, and it basically nerfs it. Does it do the same to the LAER? --Dragon1300 05:04, July 20, 2011 (UTC) Well, I got off my lazy butt and tested it myself. It doesn't split it into beams, just increases the damage from 80 to 104. (Well, 104 on Elijah's version anyways). --Dragon1300 05:54, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

My LAER modded with the prismatic lens shows correct information in the damage field. As for if it's splitting, I took these screenshots. They're both the first frame of the shot. To me, it looks like the split LAER's laser is a little bigger? As for damage, it kind of gets the same problem of the laser rifle splitter but the damage on the LAER is so high it's only noticeable on enemies with much higher DT. And with laser commander...

I did some field testing (involving wandering into Dead Wind Cavern and shooting some Deathclaws repeatedly in the face) to test, and I can confirm that when applied to the advanced LAER, it retains its single beam, while the regular LAER splits into multiples.

Paraphrasing
I tried to paraphrase the Laser rifle beam splitter page, since this mod's effect is virtually identical, but I wasn't sure how close I could write it and still be appropriate. Does this look alright? (SPAMLibArmy 04:49, July 28, 2011 (UTC))
