Compared to the standard laser pistol, the Compliance Regulator does much lower damage. In exchange, it fires a unique blue laser beam that will paralyze an enemy for 10 seconds upon dealing a Critical Hit. It also does not have a handguard like other laser pistols. It is also considered an improved holdout weapon.
Durability[]
The Compliance Regulator can fire a total of about 995 times using standard cells, the equivalent of 34 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
The weapon is found in Fallen Rock cave, in the room with the reloading bench and a terminal. After navigating the trip wire at the entrance of the room, the mine behind the teddy bear, and the two rigged guns, the gun can be found hidden behind an open wooden box containing 10 energy cells and three drained microfusion cells.
Notes[]
This weapon doesn't have true iron sights.
With Laser Commander, the weapon's critical chance is raised by 10%, which gives a higher probability of paralysis.
Despite dealing only a small amount of damage, the stun effect enables one with a decent critical hit chance to kill enemies vastly more powerful than themselves, since the fire rate is high and most enemies are not immune to the stun effect.
Scoring a second critical hit on an already paralyzed enemy can extend the duration of paralysis.
As the main draw of this weapon is the paralysis effect from critical hits rather than the base damage, utilizing bulk energy cells will lessen the condition degradation from use. Additionally, like other SEC-powered weapons, it can generate drained small energy cells for recycling, improved by taking the Vigilant Recycler perk.
