It is similar to the [[Minigun (Fallout 3)|minigun]], however, the Gatling laser is actually not a Gatling weapon, as the barrels do not rotate when it fires - instead, the barrels fire in a rotating order. However, although the animation for this firing makes it appear very random and haphazard, the barrels do not have to 'wind-up' like the minigun, making the Gatling laser much easier and quicker to use. Gatling laser and its variants are some of the few weapons in game capable of shooting down vertibirds. One can easily take out any threat at a safe distance with a Gatling laser. At long range it is actually an incredibly accurate weapon, though it performs poorly in [[Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System|V.A.T.S.]] At point blank range, it actually aims a bit lower than the cross-hair. This is easily observable when trying to shoot a corpse's head off while standing on top of it. Although a very powerful weapon against targets of every type, this weapon is very rare without the ''[[Broken Steel]]'' [[Fallout 3 add-ons|add-on]]. ===Durability=== The Gatling laser can fire a total of about 3125 beams, the equivalent of 13 reloads, from full [[Condition#Equipment condition in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas|condition]] before breaking. ==Variants== * [[Vengeance (Fallout 3)|Vengeance]] - The most powerful Gatling laser, Vengeance is also one of the most durable weapons in the game, with 2000 item HP. * [[Precision Gatling laser]] {{Icon|FO3BS|link=Broken Steel}} - While not as powerful as Vengeance, the precision Gatling laser has a very high critical multiplier of .2. * [[Fawkes' Gatling laser]] - A unique, non-player version of the Gatling laser used by [[Fawkes]] after the end of [[The American Dream]] [[Fallout 3 quests#Main quest|quest]]. ===Comparison=== {{Weapon comparison table |game =FO3 |skill =big guns |name1 =Gatling laser (Fallout 3) |ammo use1 =1 |ap1 =30 |attack shots/sec1 =20 |clip rounds1 =240 |crit % mult1 =0.05 |crit dmg1 =6 |damage1 =8 |hp1 =1500 |min spread1 =0.5 |projectiles1 =1 |value1 =2000 |vats attacks1 =8 |weight1 =18 |name2 =Precision Gatling laser |ammo use2 =1 |ap2 =30 |attack shots/sec2 =20 |clip rounds2 =240 |crit % mult2 =0.2 |crit dmg2 =6 |damage2 =8 |dlc2 =fo3bs |hp2 =1500 |min spread2 =0.5 |projectiles2 =1 |value2 =3000 |vats attacks2 =8 |weight2 =18 |name3 =Vengeance (Fallout 3) |ammo use3 =1 |ap3 =30 |attack shots/sec3 =20 |clip rounds3 =240 |crit % mult3 =0.05 |crit dmg3 =12 |damage3 =11 |hp3 =2000 |min spread3 =0.5 |projectiles3 =1 |value3 =2400 |vats attacks3 =8 |weight3 =18 }} ==Locations== * Gatling lasers are most commonly found on [[Enclave]], [[Brotherhood Outcasts|Brotherhood of Steel Outcasts]] and [[Brotherhood of Steel]] soldiers. These soldiers can be found in areas like [[The Washington Monument]], [[Fort Independence]], inside [[Arlington Library]], [[Pennsylvania Avenue]] and outside of the [[Citadel]]. Gatling lasers are generally very rare in the Capital Wasteland without the ''Broken Steel'' add-on. * [[Rococo Rockfowl|Defender Rockfowl]] will often carry one. * Inside [[Raven Rock]] there is a Gatling laser in an [[Enclave]] crate behind a blue energy shield as the player character is leaving Raven Rock, after one has spoken with President Eden. One will notice it on the right as they near the sentry bots which fight off three Enclave soldiers, just before the final door (leading to the Capital Wasteland). Deactivate the shield with the computer and the Gatling laser can be found in one of the five crates. * {{Icon|FO3BS|link=Broken Steel}} - Gatling lasers are also occasionally carried by [[Vault 87 super mutant#Super mutant overlord_(Broken Steel)|overlords]]. The overlords can be encountered from level 13 on. * {{Icon|FO3PL|link=Point Lookout (add-on)}} Two Gatling lasers can also be found in the [[St. Aubin Medical Facility]]. * {{Icon|FO3MZ|link=Mothership Zeta (add-on)}} - At least 4 Gatling lasers can be found in the [[cargo hold]] and in the [[engineering core]] as the quest [[Among the Stars]] progresses. * {{Icon|FO3BS|link=Broken Steel}} - There is a respawning pair of super mutant overlords on the path to the [[National Guard depot]] from [[Friendship Heights]] who come armed with Gatling lasers. * A Gatling laser may be carried or sold by a wasteland scavenger merchant spawned as part of the Type B [[Fallout 3 random encounters#Scavengers and wastelanders|random encounter]], where the scavenger is allied with a robot against a group of raiders. ==Sounds== {| | [[File:Gatling laser icon.png|75x75px]] | [[File:Wpn gatlinglaser fire lpm.ogg|noicon|200px]] | [[File:ReloadVB.png|75x75px]] | [[File:Wpn gatlinglaser reload.ogg|noicon|200px]] |- | [[File:JamVB.png|85x85px]] | [[File:Wpn gatlinglaser jam.ogg|noicon|200px]] |} ==Gallery== <gallery widths=240> Gatling laser CA1.jpg </gallery> {{Navbox weapons FO3}} [[Category:Fallout 3 Big Guns skill weapons]] [[de:Gatling-Laser]] [[es:Ametralladora láser (Fallout 3)]] [[fi:Gatling Laser]] [[fr:Laser gatling (Fallout 3)]] [[pl:Laser Gatlinga (Fallout 3)]] [[pt:Gatling Laser (Fallout 3)]] [[ru:Гатлинг-лазер (Fallout 3)]] [[uk:Гатлінг-лазер (Fallout 3)]] [[zh:雷射機槍 (Fallout 3)]] Loading editor Below are some commonly used wiki markup codes.
