The freeze gun is a weapon that was to appear in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios.
Characteristics
A prototype weapon that can be constructed by the Mechanic Boy. Once assembled, the gun works great against any armor since it super-freezes joints and moving parts. As such, the gun is effective against robots as well as the New California Republic (NCR) personnel. The gun will not necessarily kill a foe, but it will render it immobile, giving the player character an uncontested turn against the crippled enemy.[1][2] It can freeze enemies and runs on cryo energy. The player character will need to get parts for it to get it to work again though. S.O.R.-1000 Alpha, a robot which can be acquired as a follower, can assemble it if provided with the parts.
Components
All components can be found aboard Ballistic Orbital Missile Base 001.[1][2]
- Freeze gun schematics, found on a work table in the maintenance room.
- Freezer coils, found in fridge freezer the kitchen.
- Water and containers, found in the bathroom.
- Crushed crystal, found inside the TV in the recreational room.
- Power source, found by looting S.O.R.-1000 Beta or S.O.R.-1000 Delta.
- The remainder parts are found in the maintenance room.
Location
The freeze gun can be assembled in the maintenance room of the Ballistic Orbital Missile Base 001[1] with a Mechanics or Science skill greater than 100.[2]
Behind the scenes
A similar gun called the cryolator was going to appear in Fallout 3. But was cut from the final version of the game.
