The arc welder is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.
Characteristics[]
An electrostatic discharge gun using electron charge packs, capable of shooting a constant, high-voltage stream of lightning. It does bonus damage against robots (+8) and power armor (+4), excluding NCR salvaged power armor. When equipped, the player character wears a backpack with a similar texture to the weapon itself, akin to the flamer. Its range is limited to only a few feet in front of the player character.
Durability[]
The arc welder can fire a total of about 1,245 times using standard packs, the equivalent of 42 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
