Esther is an Explosives skill weapon added by the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics

Esther is a unique Fat Man, with the differences being the mechanism in the back, the blast shield at the front, and that most of the area where the mini nuke rests is made of thick glass or plastic. It also uses mini nukes as ammunition like the Fat Man. It adds 10 to damage threshold and gives +25 radiation resistance, unlike the Fat Man. It weighs 10 units more than the average Fat Man and does about 50 more damage (at full repair).

Notes

  • Esther has the unique effect of providing +10 Damage Threshold and +25 Rad Resistance when equipped, as well as slightly more damage than a standard Fat Man, but provides no range bonus to that of a standard Fat Man. The increase in DT is likely due to the shield on the front of the gun, but where does the radiation resistance bonus come from is not known.
  • Esther can contribute towards both the achievments/trophys Master of the Arsenal and Curios and Relics.
  • Like most unique weapons, Esther cannot be modified.
  • Esther is the heaviest weapon in the game, at an astounding 40 pounds.
  • Esther's zoom is much more obstructive, as one is limited to looking through the blast shield which has a thick frame surrounding it, compared to the Fat Man which has no such visual obstruction.
  • When loading or switching ammo a sound that is similar to a cash registers "cha ching" is heard.
