The Winchester P94 plasma rifle is an energy weapon in Fallout and Fallout 2.
Background
The P94 is a bulky, industrial-grade energy caster powered by microfusion cells. The superheated plasma bolt forms in a special chamber, then sent down a superconducting barrel and stabilized by electromagnetic claws upon exiting it.
Characteristics
Fallout
The Winchester P94 is a powerful single-shot energy weapon, roughly doubling the damage per shot of even the best conventional rifles available in the game, capable of taking out nearly any bipedal enemy with a single critical to the eyes. At 25 hexes, however, its range is only about half that of many other higher-end single-shot weapons.
Fallout 2
With its stats unchanged from the predecessor, the Winchester P94 remains a potent energy weapon in Fallout 2, with the same drawback of a relatively short range. It averages 47.5 Hit Points per non-critical attack on unarmored targets, and 21.5 HP on medium-armored targets, sometimes exceeding 200 HP in a good Critical Hit.
Variants
A superior version of this weapon exists, with a hotwired plasma bolt chamber, called the turbo plasma rifle.
Locations
Fallout
Unlike the laser rifle, the plasma rifle is rare in Fallout. It is mostly found:
- In the Mariposa Military Base and the Cathedral.
- Certain super mutants can be looted for these.
- Bought from the Gun Runners, Zack sells one for $3225.
- One example also exists in the secure testing labs of the Glow.
Fallout 2
- Carried by some super mutants.
- Carried by some Enclave members in Enclave patrols.
- Navarro underground, in the armory.
- Carried by few Enclave soldiers in Navarro.
- Sierra Army Depot.
- In a locker at Navarro
Notes
Since its in-game name was appropriated for another model of plasma weapon in Fallout 3, the Winchester P94 was renamed to plasma caster for inclusion in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes
- Elder Owyn Lyons mentions the P94 plasma rifle when in dialogue in Fallout 3, but it is not in the actual game, being replaced by the urban plasma rifle.
- According to the Fallout demo, the plasma rifle was originally going to be called "Plasma Caster".[1]
