The ultracite Gatling laser is a weapon in Fallout 76.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
A Gatling laser modified with ultracite crystal conduits, the gun is a large, two-handed weapon consisting of four rotating barrels that fire yellow laser pulses through two lenses. It uses fusion cores for ammunition. Each fusion core provides 500 shots. It has a high rate of fire but low accuracy, making it more useful for highly concentrated groups of enemies.
The Gatling laser has more damage and accuracy than a tri-barrel minigun, so this is a viable choice should one desire more accuracy and damage per magazine. Its ammo is considerably more cost-efficient than a minigun's, so this is also good for player characters on a budget that doesn't accommodate for 5mm rounds, but makes fusion cores affordable.
Compared to the Gatling laser, the ultracite Gatling laser has a higher damage per shot. This is in contrast to standard laser guns where the ultracite laser gun tends to have lower base damage but a higher rate of fire than the standard model.
