The alien blaster is a weapon in Fallout 76.

Characteristics

The alien blaster is an energy weapon with decent damage, but it is impractical due to its very rare ammo. A fusion mag mod will convert the weapon to fire fusion cells, but will also effectively make the weapon a weak laser pistol.

The weapon is of clear extraterrestrial design with its curved sleek forms, though it does resemble a pistol. The whole weapon is made of a combination of a steel like metal, orange and red plastic-like furnishings, with highlights of blue pulsing energy. Unlike a human weapon, the blaster ends with a conal shaped muzzle with no recognizable barrel. On the side is a button that opens a circular blue ringed cap. When the cap is open, alien blaster rounds can be loaded into the weapon. The two pronged sights are lined up through a hole with no front sight.

Location

Notes

  • Ammunition for the alien blaster exists southeast of Black Mountain Ordnance Works, at TNT dome #2. The plans to convert the weapon to fusion cells exists here also.
  • Like other ammunition drops in the game, the alien blaster rounds at TNT dome #2 will periodically respawn, allowing for replenishing the supply without converting the weapon to fusion cells.
