The Wattz 2000 laser rifle is an energy weapon in Fallout 2.
Background[]
The Wattz 2000 laser rifle (also referred to as the Sunbeam laser rifle)[1] uses microfusion cells for more powerful lasers, and an extended barrel for additional range.[2][1] The Wattz 2000 was mass produced before the Great War, and was accurate enough to be used as a sniper rifle in the Sino-American War[3]
Characteristics[]
Good range and decent damage make it an attractive laser sniper rifle, though it rapidly loses power as enemies with high laser resistances (Enclave troopers with over 95% damage resistance) come into play.
