Glitch?[]
The damn gun seems stuck behind the red light barrier, i tried every console in the building but everytime i get the same results, nothing unlocks the barrier. I'm no energy weaps. user yet @ lvl 12 but i hope to use this in the near future. Is there a away past the barrier or is it yet another glitch? Also the guide says nothing of a barrier in the room.98.210.120.221 20:17, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
I am having the same problem as 98.210.120.221. If you watch the video located at the bottom of the page it clearly shows the the gun is floating in some type of field and can't be picked up. In my game however its as if the gun has fallen off the invisible perch it is sitting on. It is in the corner and cannot be picked up. I am on PS3, perhaps its a console specific problem.
Glitch OP here, yes i too have the ps3 and yes it was apparent that it had fallen off the invisible holder. I doubt this will ever be patched but i hope other ps3 users will come to check this gun in thevault.com and report their issues with this potientially awesome gun. Shame i might never use it ... 98.210.120.221 00:02, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
i never got into using energy weapons but im a collector anyway, i think this is a ps3 specific glitch due to it not having happened on my console (360) it should be patched though, when fallout 3 was released it had an infinite number of glitch's and they got patched, most of them. ithinkimaddicted 01:44, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
Guys, I was able to dislodge the glitched gun via frag grenades (see steps to getting Lucky Shades from Fallout 3 for reference)
thanks man, I used the lucky shades method (3rd person, crouch, rotate camera) and was able to pick up the gun without having to use explosives.
Demon971 [09 Dec 10]: Ya, I had the same problem. Here's a good YouTube video [1] of how to dislodge the Quantum Matter Modulator Plasma Rifle.
Reference[]
I think this weapons name is a reference to Marvin the Martian, as his preferred weapon to destroy the earth is the "Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator". Should I add this to the Trivia section? OgreKingNemesis 16:29, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
SUCKS in VATS[]
not sure if this is a bug but it fires almost as fast as a pistol outside of vats and as slow or slower than a sniper rifle in vats Namad 18:01, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
Veronica's weapon?[]
This is more than likely not true, whoever posted this probably allowed Veronica to run ahead and, as happens at times, she picked it up and equipped it, so I am removing this segment. If someone can prove this wrong, feel free to correct me. -Editor with no name
Sneak attack = instant death?[]
Been fireing thing weapon for a while, and everytime i shoot someone while sneaking and undetected it kills instantly. It may be the critical dmg, but i find it a good weapon for picking them of one by one.

irretrievable[]
it just wont come out of its goddamn barrier.
The gun shouldn't be in a barrier, it should just be on the ground leaning up to it. try reloading a save. --Xa3

- Actually, the game spawns it behind the barrier (I looked on G.E.C.K.), But my game is not updated (it's retail version). So it might have changed due to people having difficulties getting at it. I always find it on the floor on my Xbox so if you have not updated your game try that.--KKotton 19:21, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
New Location?[]
- On the page it shows it inside an orange barrier , but I found it on a shelf to the right. Perfectly placed. Not even touched. Paladin Dark 20:46, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
Prototype?[]
The game says this is a prototype so does that mean that this weapon is the prototype for the regular plasma rifle in New Vegas and Fallout 3? Or was this a prototype of an improved plasma rifle invented after the regular plasma rifle? 74.75.93.119 22:19, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
- It was an improved prototype made after the plasma rifle, if I am correct.

Q-35 went through all the steps and still can not get it![]
I am having issues with getting the Q-35 matter modulator gun. I went through all the floors and took the back way to get into the secret room with the collapsed roof and I used the computer to unlock and I have the key but it still will not let me pick the gun up. Theres a shield around it and its leaning in it not floating and I done every step that mentions bug problems with PS3 and I still can not get it. I threw dynamite at it and used C4 and did the third person and exit the building and re-enetered the building and still nothing. That stupid shield is still up and won't let me get it. Someone Please Help Me!!!! I am losing my freakin mind over it.
Repair section is wrong, or my game is bugged[]
"repair Plasma rifle Energy rifles (other)"
In my current game with Jury Rigging, the only gun I can repair this with is the Laser RCW. Normal plasma rifles and laser rifles don't show up as options.2601:982:8202:C210:A01A:EC33:6547:C4FE 06:46, April 17, 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, on PC and with mods. It seems the normal Plasma Rifle has the same behavior. The only mod I can find from browsing all my .esps and .esms with FNVedit that changes Plasma Rifle is Yukichigai Unofficial Patch - YUP. Which, oddly enough, adds a EITM - Object Effect of DummyNVKnife "Dummy Knife Effect". No idea why that is there or what it even does. But the good news is under Repair List it says plasma rifle. I'm also not seeing any conflicts with the Jury Rigging Perk in FalloutNV.esm. I'm at a loss. Edit: I just checked in game and a Laser RCW only shows the Plasma Rifle in my inventory as repair option, even though I have a Laser Rifle as well. /shrug 2601:982:8202:C210:A01A:EC33:6547:C4FE 00:53, April 22, 2018 (UTC)
- Interesting info I found on the Jury Rigging page. "A simple way to tell what weapons can repair each other is to look at the way that the player holds the weapon, in addition to the general type of the weapon (Guns, Energy, Explosives, etc.). For example; as the player holds the plasma rifle in the same way that they hold the laser RCW, Jury Rigging lets the player repair them with each other, even though one is laser and one is plasma. However, since the laser rifle is held differently (more like a bolt/lever action gun), one cannot use it to repair the laser RCW, nor vice versa." 2601:982:8202:C210:A01A:EC33:6547:C4FE
- Final edit..... I just tested the Q-35 matter modulator in game. I emptied a clip to lower its condition to <100% and went to repair it, my options were Laser RCW, Gauss Rifle and finally...a Plasma Rifle. I haven't changed anything yet it's now working as intended. Thank you Roger555 for replying to me. Anyone reading this, feel free to delete this entire section of my non-issue. Apparently it was just a fluke... 2601:982:8202:C210:A01A:EC33:6547:C4FE
