The Circuit Breaker is a unique legendary 10mm pistol in Fallout 76, introduced in the Expeditions: Atlantic City update part one, Boardwalk Paradise. It takes fusion cells, rather than 10mm rounds, and thus deals energy damage instead of ballistic. It also has a special "Last Shot" mod that causes an explosion that deals damage and stuns nearby enemies on the last shot in a magazine.
Characteristics[]
The Circuit Breaker has the following special abilities:
- Anti-Armor - Ignores 50% of your target's armor
- Swift - 15% faster reload speed
- Special Last Shot:
The gun does not have a secondary effect, and it may not be legendary-crafted.
The Circuit Breaker uses different mods than the 10mm pistol, most notably lacking the suppressor and automatic receiver mods.

Locations[]

The Circuit Breaker can be bought from Giuseppe at the White Springs Refuge for 500 stamps
Notes[]
| Last Shot Damage |
|---|
- Grenadier increases the size of the last shot's explosion visually, but does not increase the effect's radius from 50 feet.[1]
- Demolition expert does not increase the last shot's area damage.[1]
- The Circuit Breaker has a unique lightning disintegration crit effect.
- Paints for the 10mm pistol cannot be applied to the Circuit Breaker.
Behind the scenes[]
The Circuit Breaker was originally implemented and slated to be a reward for the fourteenth season, Fight for Freedom, but this was changed prior to release, and did not become a season reward until The Big Score.
Bugs[]
The +15% reload speed description does not match the +5% reload speed the circuit breaker's custom mod actually adds.[2][patched]- The aligned grip mod requires scrapping 10mm pistols to learn, instead of unlocking with the weapon.[3][patched]
