The Compliance Regulator is a unique version of the standard laser pistol, firing a blue laser beam that will paralyze an enemy for 10 seconds upon dealing a Critical Hit.
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.
Fallen Rock cave, found in the room with a 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
With the perk Laser Commander, the critical chance is raised by 10%, which gives a higher probability of paralysis.
It is considered an improved holdout weapon and, with a Sneak skill of 50, can be brought into weapon-free areas such as casinos.
Scoring a second critical hit on an already paralyzed enemy can extend the duration of paralysis.
