Best Laser Weapon?

What is the best Laser weapon?
Also, I have GRA, and I have a mod where Lasers are a little better (I meltdown foes and they blow up to Bone Fragments. :D)

OK lets walk thru the laser weapons.

Laser Pistol (GRA) right in the first town, its a first town gun. but you can put a +3 damage mod on it and then its pretty reasonable for a first gun.

Compliance regulator. with a crit build this can pretty easily stun lock something.

MF hyper breeder alpha. recharging assault rifle, suprisingly limited use since by the time you can afford it you probably have an RCW with plenty of ammo.

moving on to rifles.

Laser rifles. standard 3 mods, a scope for sniping, a splitter and a damage mod. the splitter means you can crit twice on any shot. pretty brutal sniping weapon.

advanced LAER - Breaks pretty quick, its slightly better than a Laser rifle for an unscoped rifle. its got really high listed damage, but I hadn't noticed much of a difference functionally. probably because its critical hit damage is basically non-existant.

Tri-beam laser GRA. its basically an energy shotgun with spread of .5 so you literally can use it at mid range and still kill stuff. chews thru ammo fast though.

Laser RCW. mainly good for its automatic-ness with no spread. and no recoil. an automatic weapon gets its crit chance divided by the number of shots per second. a laser gets a flat critical chance bonus. so laser automatics are incredibly accurate and crit far mor often than regular automatics.

Gatling laser/SPrtel Wood.

The Gatling with its higher rate of fire mixed with various perks and ED-E's +5 beam weapon damage its pretty brutal. I generally prefer the SPRTEL wood for its more ammo friendly variety and better at overcoming enemy DT.

The spread on both is nothing to write home about comparable to a CZ57 Avenger they spin up making me like them less. Don't have alot of experience with them but they don't dissapoint.

all in all I generally prefer the Tri-beam laser for laser killing things that need killing.

Tri Beam laser rifle.

It's a hybrid Shotgun/Rifle. Good weapon all around.

red255 more or less gave you the run-down on pew pew sticks. But personally, I like the humble Laser Rifle.

[talgaby]

Laser rifle requires good aiming though. With precision shots is excellent because no recoil, but the low-ish fire rate and base damage makes it somewhat of a varmint rifle equivalent. Deadly in the right hands, but needs learning and practise.

Tesla Cannon, LAER, Tri-Beam, AER-14 Prototype, The Green Gatling Laser (forgot the name)

Don't forget Pew Pew or (if you're using Wild Wasteland) the Alien Blaster/Alien Atomizer/Alien Destroyer. The Alien Blaster in particular is considered the hands-down ultimate laser weapon, but ammo for it is incredibly limited.

And that is where console commands comes in if your into that sort of thing.

If you are going to use the console you could use the debug weapons.

With a little restraint and "equivalent exchange" you'll do well.

Why did you necro this.

[Valden21]

I usually go for the Laser RCW. It's accurate, has a good rate of fire, and if you get your repair science skill up, VERY easy to get more ammo, since energy cells and microfusion cells can be converted into ammo for it.

i love ycs when i have ammo, but my go-to laser weapon is always LAER+, its objectively the best in terms of ammo and DPS. If you dont have DLC go for pew-pew, tesla beaton prototype (my favorite) or tri-beam rifle+.

[Deathconsciousness]

Guys stop replying, you're necroing a 2 year old thread.

[Etigyr]

did you find your weapon of choice?

I hope he did
