This Wattz 2000 laser rifle has had its recharging system upgraded and a special recycling chip installed that reduces the drain on the micro fusion cell by 50%.
”— Fallout 2 descriptionThe Wattz 2000 laser rifle extended capacity 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[]
Upgrading the Wattz 2000 doubles its magazine capacity, giving you twice as many shots before it needs to be reloaded. Since most enemies have a high laser resistance, you'll need more shots to bring them down, making this upgrade very sensible.
