“Enclave firepowers beams supreme! We prove it with our Tesla Cannons!”— Atomic Shop description

The Tesla cannon is a explosive heavy gun in Fallout 76, introduced in the Gleaming Depths update.

Characteristics[]

The Tesla cannon is a shoulder-mounted hit-scan heavy weapon that deals heavy single-target energy damage, and minor AOE damage. The weapon consumes 5 fusion cells per shot, and many of its mods have an inversely proportional relationship between damage and fire rate.
