I even managed to use a Gattling laser effectively, but it still required too much ammunition to use frequently (especially with the car *and* Marcus' Turbo Plasma Rifle sucking down the Micro Fusion Cells). That's really the only way to do it IMO, they do too much damage to get up close, and it's Plasma damage, too, which nothing really has a spectacular resistance to.
In fact it was quite handy for killing the turrets well outside of their range. With Sniper, More Criticals and Improved Critical, I was able to take Navaro base out using the Laser Rifle. When I first picked one up (Off a gaurd in the NCR), I assumed it was a sniper rifle and was surprised I couldn't use it well (Of course my Big Guns was in the toilet pan since I had boosted small guns in my first game).Īs to Laser, once I deliberately boosted my Energy Weapons skill to around 200 just to see how effective I could make a Laser Rifle. It is far more effective at range than a minigun.
The Bozar's description would agree, as would it's appearance in the picture in game, which shows it having a scope. Click to expand.This seems to make sense.
