Microwave emitter

The microwave emitter is a weapon in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.

Characteristics
The weapon is a hand-held piece of technology that sends out electromagnetic light waves at frequencies between 0.3 and 300 gigahertz. Similar to the attack of mirelurk kings, the contraption emits a light blue wave. Additionally, the microwave emitter uses common microfusion cells instead of Mesmetron power cells, making it far more practical to operate.

This weapon ignores damage resistance, making it ideal for use against heavily armored foes. Critical hits will turn enemies to ash, like laser weapons.

Variants

 * Mesmetron, an experimental weapon that will confuse and daze an enemy instead of disintegrating them.

Location
The microwave emitter is found in the reward vault at the end of the quest A Meeting of the Minds.
