The Compliance Regulator is an electroshock weapon and a unique version of the standard laser pistol, in that not only does it fire a blue beam instead of the normal red, but dealing a Critical Hit upon an enemy will paralyze them for 10 seconds. It also does not have a handguard like other laser pistols.
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.
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.
Despite dealing only a small amount of damage, the stun effect enables players with a decent critical rate to kill enemies vastly more powerful than themselves, since the fire rate is high and no enemy is 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 Crit effect, not the damage, use it with Bulk Ammo, as this will cause less durability loss. This can also generate Drained small energy cells for recycling; more with Vigilant Recycler.
