“A modified winchester P94 plasma rifle. The plasma bolt chamber has been hotwired to accelerate the bolt formation process.”— In-game description

The turbo plasma rifle is an energy weapon that appears in Fallout.

Background

Main article: Plasma rifle

The P94 is a bulky, industrial-grade energy caster powered by microfusion cells. The superheated plasma bolt forms in a special chamber, then is sent down a superconducting barrel and stabilized by electromagnetic claws upon exiting it.

This version has the plasma bolt chamber hot-wired to accelerate the bolt formation process, resulting in an increase in the rate of fire.

Characteristics

At the low action-point cost of only 4 AP, able to be cut down to 2 AP with Fast Shot and Bonus Rate of Fire, for every shot averaging 52.5 Hit Points of damage, the Winchester P94 turbo plasma rifle is virtually unrivaled in Damage Per Action Point among single-shot weapons. Only the alien blaster, which has an extremely short range, does more.

The Winchester P94 turbo plasma rifle also delivers unparalleled damage for each microfusion cell and has good accuracy at range. That range, though by no means short at 35 hexes, might be considered the weapon's only, if minor, drawback, since the big laser weapons have 5 to 10 hexes more.

Locations

• In Fallout, the turbo plasma rifle can be obtained from Smitty after helping fix the hydroponic farms in Adytum. One must already have a plasma rifle. When given the rifle, Smitty hotwires it.

Behind the scenes

The turbo plasma rifle was created by Feargus Urquhart. He has expressed remorse at the weapon's strength, feeling that it completely unbalances the end-game of Fallout.
