Survivor's Special

The Survivor's Special  is a unique weapon in Fallout 4.

Background
This laser pistol was Paladin Brandis' personal sidearm during his three year period of surviving alone at recon bunker Theta.

Characteristics
The Survivor's Special is guaranteed to come with a sharpshooter's grip, reflex sight, and beam splitter, with the legendary Bloodied effect (+5% damage per 5% of missing health). With the addition of an automatic barrel, and a damage-boosting capacitor, it can become a rapid fire laser shotgun, but its recoil is so drastic that it can only be used in extremely close quarters in conjunction with pulsing the trigger; holding the trigger down for more than a moment causes the weapon to aim far above the initial target, meaning constant compensation is required.
