“

If the conspiracy theorists are to be believed, Earth has been visited by an alien species on several occasions. These "Zetans" are said to be armed with powerful energy beam weapons that can completely disintegrate enemies.

The alien blaster is a unique weapon in Fallout 4.

Background

The alien blaster is an advanced piece of alien weaponry (by Earthling standards) that fires high energy bolts of blue plasma.

Characteristics

Combined with a high damage output and rate of fire, as well as a moderate range for a pistol, the alien blaster easily surpasses all other unmodified energy pistols, as well as unmodified conventional pistols for that matter. The only initial downside is the fact that ammunition is limited to the finite number of rounds found in the cave where the alien is hiding. However, this is easily remedied with the fusion mag modification which changes the ammunition type to fusion cells.
