The Tesla Cannon is a weapon that fires extremely powerful blasts of electricity, apparently capable of knocking aircraft out of the sky with one shot, balanced by a long reload time. It vaporizes enemies in a puff of smoke on contact. It is powered by Electron Charge Packs.
The quest line of Broken Steel includes having to find the parts for this weapon in order to help the Brotherhood of Steel build it.
Appearances
The Tesla Cannon was added to Fallout 3 with the release of the Broken Steel downloadable content pack in May 2009.
The Tesla Cannon was also to be featured in the canceled Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel 2, bearing a striking resemblance to the weapon in Broken Steel. Described as a "high-powered mass-cannon throwing tessellated plasma forward in an orgy of death and destruction" in the FO:BOS2 design document, it was to be the so-called "uber-weapon" of player character Maxus. "Uber-weapons" were to be unique weapons for each PC which had to be assembled from 5 parts over the course of the game. One of the five parts for this weapon was a Tesla coil; in Broken Steel a Tesla coil is where the parts for the Tesla Cannon are found.
Notes
- The Tesla Cannon has a 'shocking effect' much like Jingwei's Shocksword. After hitting an enemy with a blast from the cannon, they will be surrounded by an electrical effect for a few seconds which will cause damage. This effect almost assures one hit kills with this weapon, especially against robots.
- The Tesla Cannon has a splash effect when the projectile strikes any hard surface, damaging all near impact. It is entirely possible and quite common that this weapon will strike multiple enemies (and yourself), causing damage to all.
- The Tesla Cannon is a very accurate weapon, almost instantly striking any target it is fired at, however because it lacks any type of ranged targeting it is a poor weapon for long-range combat, additionally the beam is thin and is likely to miss a target by inches.
- If the player chooses to target the Citadel during the end of Who Dares Wins, two additional Tesla Cannons can be located within its ruins.
- Also if the player chose not to, two Tesla Cannons are still available on one of the tables around the remains of Liberty Prime, inside the Citadel
