Variants[]

Location[]

The Survivor's Special is a potential reward for completing the quest The Lost Patrol by convincing Paladin Brandis to return to the Brotherhood of Steel.

It is also possible to steal the weapon from Paladin Brandis before the quest ends. If it is stolen this way, it will be removed from the player character's inventory when leaving Fort Hagen during the Reunions mission. The laser pistol will be removed as soon as the security door leading to the roof of Fort Hagen is opened (via the unsecured terminal on the right).

Notes[]

  • This is one of four unique weapons which may not be renamed at a weapons workbench, the others being the Ashmaker, the Silver submachine gun and Grognak's axe.
  • As with unique weapons in the game, the set of modifications installed on the Survivor's Special in the time of receipt depends on the character level. So its performance and appearance will be different for different players.

Bugs[]

  • A solution to this is to complete The Lost Patrol after the Prydwen arrives in the Commonwealth.
