PSA: the tesla cannon is stupidly overpowered

[Lomax the Professional Lowlife]

Hello! To everyone updating their games, you'll be getting some free creation club stuff. Seemingly, the tesla cannon is included. So, the tesla cannon is a heavy weapon that does insane damage, and due to some bug has no reload animation. You can fire this thing incredibly quickly and reload it instantly. On top of that it deals damage to multiple enemies, and can be obtained relatively early in the game.

As soon as I found this weapon I had to google it to see if anyone else thought the same. This thing is a beast! I didn't get this far in my first play through pre-patch so I didn't know this is a new addition to the game. Surely they'll patch it, it's way too overpowered, and it only uses fusion cell ammo (?!)

Tesla Cannon's been around for years as CC content. It's OP-ness has been well known. Bethsoft didn't balance it when giving it out for free after all these years. They're not going to bother to balance it at all.

There are a lot of OP mods available, not just CC. But why balance it? If you think it's OP then just don't use it, I'm certain you can find the self control to not use items that you find ruin the game for you. I am not updating to the new version and I don't use CC so I don't really care but still if something doesn't fit my play style I just don't use it if it isn't necessary.

Eh, several of my existing weapons were more powerul

I ran into this in skyrim .. you can clearly tell these are mods .. which don't get me wrong have a demographic but not the same as the normal DLCs put out by the company which have a wider demo and intermix well with existing or new game plays in a not so op way.

It's just unfortunate they chose to embed them into the game where we can't just un-check them like mods and play w/o them at our discretion, you have to jump through hoops to disable/remove them.

The one saving grace is most these mods come with 1 or 2 items that don't embed themselves into the game world like normal items so they don't flood the populace and you can stash them and take them out of circulation .. or can't find ammo to use em, so there's that I guess. But I tend to put off these 'free' mods until DLCs and the part's are over that I don't wanna be OP for.

... Until you run out of ammo.

I think the Enclave mod unbalances the game.
There is no way a player ought to be able to get those things relatively early in the game.
When I finally update (I locked my game down hard) I will hand delete that entire questline out of my game files and instead download America Rising 2 or Enclave new Story 1 or 2, or Enclave resurgent.
Some of them have good loot but nothing that unbalances the game.

Totally agree.
When I finally do the update I will hand delete this content out of my game file as I belive it unbalances the game, doesnt quite fit in and besides there are pther Enclave mods out there that dont unblance the game where u can actually join..
No shade to the Autor of that mod, it has its place as a fun side quest that I could add near endgame to buff myself after say level 80 or 100 to go to war with Atoms Storm (from a mod also ) troops, it serves a good purpose.
But this should absolutely not be packaged in a general game update, and I am immensely saddened how this egregious misstep will ruin the Fallout experience for a new generation of players.
