Pew Pew Addiction!

[За Монолит]

Ever since getting the unique laser pistol "Pew Pew" I can not bring myself to let it go. I constantly think of all the cons of this weapon: Inaccuracy, Large ammunition cost, 5 Rounds per shot, Not being able to find a SEC vendor. But when I put it in a storage container I come back only a few minutes later picking it back up and exploring the waste, I use this weapon as a primary and I have limited myself to only using 4 weapons and 1 extra for tactical reasons, but this limitation has also made me a more careful player, trying not to use too much ammunition from Pew Pew. I didn't want to change my play style, I love charging in head-first into combat but this weapon has become a burden.. or a curse. I try to change, I would usually leave the laser pistol in a storage container then pick up the unique laser rifle "AER14 prototype" and I think about how great this weapon is.. The ammunition cost is just enough to make me think it is ok to spam the firing button, the accuracy of the weapon maybe no different from the laser pistol but my brain thinks: "Longer barrel, rifle? This weapon is more accurate." but then I look at the design/exterior of the weapon and I realize it doesn't look as beautiful and crimson red and gold as the laser pistol.. Pew Pew.

I am addicted to this weapon and cannot let it go... Has anyone else had this problem with different weapons? Tell me which weapon and maybe I will stop going back and forth and make my.. decision.

Just keep using it if you like it. Weapons in the base game don't have to be that strong anyways.
Also, energy cells are very common and cheap. Don't see why you'd be concerned with wasting ammo.

The weapon uses a lot of ammo with just a few shots, and trying to find a SEC vendor is difficult because I have killed off the Van Graffs for Cass' quest and everywhere I look, I cannot find a vender that can supply me with the amount of SEC ammunition I need.

Besides my answer to your curiosity, thank you for the comment, I should keep using it because I like the weapon. Fair point.

Pew Pew is good. Personally I prefer plasma than laser but still... Get the perk that let you take the emptied cell so you can recharge it on the craft table. Upgraded Ed-E also give player free ammo (also crafting menu) and BoS's gift crate (if you max rep with them) also give some free ammo.

Thank you for the advice and hearing your preference was enlighting as well.

I have maxed my reputation with the Brotherhood of Steel, gotten 4 of 5 holotapes from the Lonesome Road DLC, and have the Vigilant Recycler perk, maybe I am overeacting about the ammo situation. Thank you for the advice! This has opened my mind about my "ammunition" situation.

The Weapon I never let go of and always use once I get it is The Light shining in the darkness. I just love that pistol and the story behind it and the man who once owned it. Plus it's the best hand gun for grunt builds witch no matter what I always speck into.

I agree, a gun with a powerful blow, a story, and a pretty cool previous owner is a nice touch to a gun. Thanks for sharing your favorite weapon!

Pew Pew is one of the best weapons in general, including DLC.
Finishing the BoS quest with a positive outcome or reaching good standing with the Legion can also earn you periodic free energy cells. So is finishing OWB, which is energy ammo heaven.

I don't think I ever thought about getting SEC from the Legion, I completely forgot. Thanks for the advice.
