The XL70E3 is a small gun in Fallout 2.
Background[]
The XL70E3 was an experimental assault rifle developed in the late 21st century just before the Great War. Manufactured, primarily, from high-strength polymers, the XL70E3 is almost indestructible. It is light, fast firing, accurate, and can be broken down without the use of tools.[1] It is equipped with a scope, fires 5mm ammunition and utilizes a 20-round magazine.[2]
Characteristics[]
This weapon has a superior damage per shot compared to the AK-112 assault rifle albeit inferior in range and capacity. The XL70E3 sees decreased efficacy against advanced power armor but will fare better against lesser armored enemies in the wasteland. On top of that, it also lacks the Weapon Long Range perk which makes it much less accurate.
This weapon is particularly scarce, in that it must be purchased for $3000 in caravan merchant random encounters outside of San Francisco only, or one must kill a person on the PMV Valdez to get it. Additionally, the XL70E3 is generally outclassed by better weapons by the time the player reaches San Francisco. The caravan merchants outside San Francisco also only trade with good karma players, furthering the rarity of this weapon.
Locations[]

- One of the black-haired female punks on the PMV Valdez in San Francisco has one in the active item slot. She has to be killed to obtain it, either directly or with super stimpaks.
- Caravan masters outside of San Francisco sell this weapon 10% of the time.
Behind the scenes[]
The XL70E3 is based on the RSAF Enfield XL70E3, a prototype version of the SA80 family of firearms adopted by the British Armed Forces in 1987.
