The Tesla rifle is a ranged weapon in Fallout 76.
Contents
Characteristics
The Tesla rifle fires arcing electricity that can jump from the initial target to nearby enemies for full damage.[1] The weapon has an aiming radius more like a shotgun, wider than other rifles.

Weapon modifications
Locations
Purchase the plan from Brotherhood of Steel Vendor bot Phoenix in Watoga Shopping Plaza.- Rarely dropped by deathclaws.
- Rarely dropped by boss chests.
Variants
- Night Light - A unique Tesla rifle given as a Survival mode reward available during May 21–27 and August 13–20, 2019.
Notes
- Affected by the Grounded mutation.
- The charging lob barrel is now a legacy item.
Bugs
- The Tesla rifle may occasionally drop without a sight attachment.[verified]
- The charging shotgun Tesla rifle is not considered a shotgun.[verified]
- When fired at surfaces, arc damage always deals -50% damage regardless of barrel or charge. When fired at NPCs, the arc damage correctly deals 100% damage.[verified]
- Automatic, charging and charging shotgun barrels are adding or subtracting weapon damage itself instead of modifying damage multiplicatively or adding or subtracting to the additive damage bonus multiplier.[verified]
- Due to the above, glitched Tesla rifles that spawn in at levels 1-39, which have 0 base damage, can deal billions of damage per hit due to an integer underflow.[verified]
- When using a charging or charging shotgun barrel, an uncharged direct impact is reduced by more than -50%.[verified]
- The arc damage is unaffected by the uncharged modifier, and will deal more damage than an uncharged direct impact.[verified]
- Any Tesla rifle may leave lingering developer marker text (CHAIN) at points of impact instead of the anticipated visual effects.[verified]
- The chain effect is coded as an explosion and is affected by the Grenadier perk.[verified]
- As of Steel Dawn, the Tesla rifle no longer has bugged charge data. As a result, the non-charging variants will deal less damage and the charging variants will actually add damage when charged.[patched]
- When reloading in third person and at the same time moving sideways, the reload animation will bug out and the character will appear facing downwards for a second.[verification overdue]
