The Needler pistol is a small gun in Fallout 2.

Background[]

The following section is transcluded from Needler pistol. To modify, please edit the source page.

This former scientific tool, the Bringham needler uses hypodermic darts manufactured from hard plastic and is excellent at defeating armor.[1]

Characteristics[]

AP ammo, coupled with the pistol's Weapon Penetrate perk and accuracy make it extremely useful against armored opponents, enabling very, very high criticals. Ammunition rarity is a problematic factor, however.
