Sonny, I Watched the Vault Bein' Built!
I was just checking out the item data base for FO2 and found some weapons I have never seen before

http://www.nma-fallout.com/content.php?page=fo2-items

XL70E3

This was an experimental weapon at the time of the war. Manufactured, primarily, from high-strength polymers, the weapon is almost indestructible. It's light, fast firing, accurate, and can be broken down without the use of any tools. Min ST: 5.

FN FAL (Night Sight)
This rifle has been more widely used by armed forces than any other rifle in history. It's a reliable assault weapon for any terrain or tactical situation. This weapon has been equipped with a night sight for greater night accuracy. Min ST: 5.

Improved Flamer
A Flambe 450 model flamethrower, varmiter variation. Fires a short spray of extremely hot, flamable liquid. Requires specialized fuel to work properly. This model has been modified to fire a hotter mixture which causes greater combustibility. Min ST: 6.

Super Cattle Prod
A Farmer's Best Friend model cattle prod from Wattz Electronics. This model has been upgraded to increase the electrical discharge. Min ST: 4.

Magneto-Laser Pistol
This Wattz 1000 laser pistol has been upgraded with a magnetic field targeting system that tightens the laser emission, giving this pistol extra penetrating power. Min ST: 3.

Are these mods or part of the original F02?
 
These are all part of the original game.

XL70E3 can be found in one of the southernmost locations (: P), the other four weapons can be gained with upgrading.
 
Hm, as far as i can tell, all the basic weapons can be upgraded to the ones you pointed out by various NPC's. There's one in Gecko, one in Vault City, two in New Reno.. i'm probably missing some, but those are off the top of my head.

I dont know what the board rules say about spoilers, so i'm not saying anything about XL70E3. :p I seem to recall Per writing a very extensive guide to F2, you'll probably find all the necesarry info there.
 
I don't think we're very strict on spoilers. Edit a spoiler tag into the topic title if it's warranted.
 
Hm, ok, i'll just make the possibly spoiling info "invisible".

Just drag the cursor thru the text (or, alternatively, quote my post) if you want to read what i've written below -

You can find the XL70E3 on one of the people that inhabit the tanker in San Francisco. I dont really remember who, tho, but you can always go "steal" on each one. It's one of the generic NPC's if i remember correctly.

About the upgradeable weapons.

There is an NPC in New Reno, named Algernon, who will upgrade every upgradeable item for free for you. He's below the weapons store, in a basement, entrance to which is guarded by a few dogs. Feel free to butcher them, the shopkeep wont bother to check wtf : P

FN FAL upgrades into FN FAL (Night Sight)
Flamer upgrades into Improved Flamer
Cattle Prod upgrades into Super Cattle Prod
Laser Pistol upgrades into Magneto-Laser Pistol

Cheers. :)
 
hey Madbringer...your spooky. Thxs alot now if i could get a working copy of F2 i can check it out for myself. i guess i never noticed the upgraded weapons because i never really used the FN, Flamer or the laser pistol to begin with and I hate San Fran so by that point I just wanted to finish the game.

I also noticed a baseball bat called a "Louisville Slugger " and a double edge Knife which has the same disreption as the regular

anyone know where those two come from?
 
Oh defently. I thing you can get the Louisville Slugger from one of the crime families in New Reno.

But I never found the double edged knife with a black taped grip though. I think it was cup out from the game.
 
The Slugger is given to you by Mrs Wright after some quests, it's actually one of the better melee weapons in the game.

As for the knife you don't mena the switchblade do you? That has a black handle, found on loads of people in New Reno, other places too.
Or possibly the end boss knife (cannot remember what that looks like...)

The alien blaster is pretty tricky to get, at least until you arrive on the enclave. Also as you mentioned the XL70E3 is rare (iirc you can find it two ways, both down south shall we say).

The slight catch is, with the possible exception of the super cattle prod, all those 'rare' weapons are useless :)

Since you already mentioned it... Are any of the End Boss weapons usable by the player? Or do they just sit in your inventory taking up space?
 
You can use them, they are both pretty decent weapons. (You can also get and use deathclaw claws').
 
The double-edged knife image was in Fo1, and unused there as well.

That would make sense, she gives you the quest of smashing up the stills and me being me would never dare to do such a thing hence never taking the quest. but can someone confirm this?

the alien blaster is a random encounter no?

I just got a working copy of fallout 2 so im going to try to get everything. also i didnt even know you could loot the end boss. I guess it was because it wouldnt really matter after walking out that door the game is over.

Yeah, but not a 'special' encounter like F1, it's just a merchant encounter with a slight twist. It's a pain to get and get the blaster from.

You cannot normally, however if you kill something with an inventory and the body is on the same hex as a second enemy without an normally accessable inventory you can scroll through and loot the normally impossible items. This can be used to get the end boss weapons, deathclaws', golden gecko pelts off fire gecko's...

Yep, although without spoiling it, it's specially designed as opposed to a merchant simply selling a blaster.

Btw i am unable to answer any PMs i'm afraid because the crazy Dutch
admin thinks i could destroy the world. :P
