The Tesla cannon is a weapon in the Fallout 3add-onBroken Steel.
BackgroundEdit
This section is transcluded from Tesla cannon. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.
The Tesla cannon is a pre-War, portable, directable energy weapon. It was designed to be used as a lightweight, compact anti-tank weapon. The design was named after Nikola Tesla, whose designs for the technology were seized by the U.S. government after his death. When used, the cannon projects a blast that will damage the enemy on impact. It will continue to gradually reduce the enemy's health due to its ability to electrify the target and its surroundings.
CharacteristicsEdit
The Tesla cannon is a shoulder-mounted energy weapon that fires powerful blasts of electricity, powered by electron charge packs. It can be fired only once before reloading.
The quest line of Broken Steel includes having to find a Tesla coil for this weapon in order to help the Brotherhood of Steel build it.
DurabilityEdit
The Tesla cannon can fire a total of about 563 shots from full condition before breaking.
VariantsEdit

LocationsEdit
There are a total of 13 Tesla cannons, or 14 if one counts the Beta Tesla cannon, but only a maximum of 11 (12 with Beta Tesla cannon) can be obtained in one play-through. Ghazi attack telugu movie download 720p.
- The first Tesla cannon can be acquired upon the Lone Wanderer's initial arrival at Adams Air Force Base. There will be a resupply crate directly to the player character's left near the wall upon exiting the Presidential metro.
- Once one leaves Adams Air Force Base, if they did not blow up the Citadel and return there, 2 Tesla cannons can be found in the Citadel laboratory after finishing the quest Who Dares Wins, on a table in front of Liberty Prime's docking bay.
- If one blew up the Citadel, they can find 2 Tesla cannons in the Citadel armory. If one did not blow up the Citadel they can pick the lock to get into the armory but there are no Tesla cannons there.
- If one returns to Adams Air Force Base after Who Dares Wins, they can acquire 8 more Tesla cannons (4 in perfect condition, 4 in poor condition):
- The first pair are before the Lone Wanderer reaches the hangars. Traveling northeast from the Adams Air Force Base Entrance towards the hangars, the 4th open-topped military truck in their path has a resupply crate in the back with a good and poor condition cannon and electron charge packs.
- The second pair of cannons (along with some electron charge packs) is in a resupply crate between the first and second hangar on the way toward the mobile base crawler by the base of an Enclave barricade. To be clear, these two hangars are to the player character's right once they reach the airfield portion of the base, near 2 parked Vertibirds.
- The third pair are in a resupply crate by the ramp leading to the covered catwalk between the second and third hangar on the way to the crawler.
- The fourth pair are at the base of an Enclave barricade, between the crawler and the air control tower. The crate is inside the ring of Sandbags underneath a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin.

NotesEdit
- It is also possible to obtain an unlimited amount of Tesla cannons from Adams Air Force Base. This can only be done before one destroys the Mobile Base Crawler. Simply observe the battle between the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave and at some point a paladin will bring out a Tesla cannon. Go around the force field and loot his body when he dies, then go back and wait for another. Note that the other Brotherhood of Steel soldiers may loot him before the player character get there leaving only armor or ammunition.
- The Tesla cannon has a 'shocking effect' much like Jingwei's shocksword. After hitting an enemy with a blast from the cannon, they'll be surrounded by an electrical effect for a few seconds which will cause damage.
- The Tesla cannon has a splash effect when the projectile strikes any hard surface, damaging all near impact. It is entirely possible and quite common for this weapon to strike multiple enemies. Be aware, though, that this effect will also harm the player character or any companion.
- If one looks into the barrel, they can clearly see the Tesla coil, which is its main component.
- Star Paladin Cross and Clover will equip the Tesla cannon when given with ammunition, however, please note that when the cannon is placed in their inventory along with ammunition, it will degrade as normal. By stunning her with Paralyzing Palm, Sydney will equip the Tesla cannon when given with ammunition and it will not degrade.
- When in V.A.T.S., if one uses two shots, and the first shot doesn't kill an enemy, but the shocking effect does, one will still fire it again even though the enemy is already dead.
- Killing an enemy with the shock effect does not count as a kill for the purposes of the Grim Reaper's Sprint perk. The player character's AP will not be refilled unless the enemy dies from the initial blast.
- Interestingly enough, this weapon's laser, or rather its shock effect, passes through walls and other solid barriers (i.e. one can shoot the Citadel Laboratory wall next to the map and Rothchild may be knocked unconscious).
- Even though the Tesla cannon looks like a big gun, it is actually an energy weapon, and rather light; in fact, it is the same weight as the laser rifle.
- The Tesla cannon has a scripted effect attached to it that allows it to destroy airborne Vertibirds with a single shot, regardless of actual damage done.
- The Tesla cannon tends to kill a stronger enemy (Enclave Hellfire trooper for instance) in 1-2 shots (1 with shock). Also note that the shock effect can harm the player and followers in close ranges. Try to aim for the enemy in the middle as the shock will soften up the enemies around it, then a more practical firearm can be used if desired.
Behind the scenesEdit
This section is transcluded from Tesla cannon. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.
- The Tesla cannon was originally to be featured in the canceled Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel 2, bearing no resemblance to the weapon in Broken Steel. Described as a 'high-powered mass-cannon throwing tessellated plasma forward in an orgy of death and destruction' in the Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel 2 design document, it was to be the so-called 'uber-weapon' of player character Maxus. 'Uber-weapons' were to be unique weapons for each player character which had to be assembled from 5 parts over the course of the game, or the player could have a NPC assemble one for them. One of the five parts for this weapon was a Tesla coil.
- Nikola Tesla really did try to create a directed energy weapon but it would have been a particle beam weapon called a 'Teleforce,' something that would be immensely complicated to create.
BugsEdit
- PCXbox 360 If the player character kills an enemy with the splash damage effect alone, they may not earn XP for the kill, but this can use this to ones advantage. If a good character is killed by the shock damage after effects it will result in no karma loss or hostility from nearby non-player characters. One will also not receive any fingers or ears for enemies killed by the cannon's splash damage. [verified]
- Xbox 360 Occasionally while in third person the Tesla cannon will float off of the Lone Wanderer's back and stay suspended in mid air. This makes it impossible to use in third person and V.A.T.S., however the Tesla cannon will still work in first person. (This will fix itself after a while. However, there is nothing that one can do to fix it manually.) [verified]
- PC The Tesla cannon will not destroy a Vertibird in a single shot, unlike the console versions of the game. [verified]

The Holorifle fires more slowly, does less damage (unless modded), has a slower/lower damage DoT, and is less accurate, even when modded.
1 Fair enough but not by much .2 As you say when modded it does more 3 Same reason as 2. 4 Maybe but the projectile itself seems to be rather wide and easy to hit the target with .But the big trump card is well the cards is that it uses 1 mfc per shot and doesn't cost 20k to fully repair like the TCB .And it's rather hard to even get a normal tesla cannon as i'm sure you can only get it at hidden valley .Moral of the story is TCB is 20k for a weapon that is slightly worse than the holo rifle .And the tcb pre patch was a better blue print so to speak for diversity couldn't you just of kept it one shot reload and bumped the damage up and lowered the ammo consumption instead of making a holo rifle wannabe ?
Unique / Rare weapons are the strongest, most useful, and generally the best weapons in Fallout 4. They grant the player special bonuses, like making the target stagger more often, or irradiating/poisoning them.You can get them by killing unique enemies (and looting their bodies), or by finishing quests. This guide will show you the best unique and rare weapons in Fallout 4, where to find them and what they do.

Virgil’s Rifle
Type: RifleBonus: +50% damage against super mutants
Location: You can only get this weapon during or after The Glowing Sea quest. Go to the Rocky Cave, south-west of Atom Crater – it looks like it’s outside the edge of the map.

It works in both his super-mutant and human form.
Cryolator
Type: RifleBonus: Freezes enemies
Location: The Cryolator is in a case with a Master Lock in Vault 111. There’s a glitch that lets you have it without picking the lock, though.

A secret chamber will open up, and you’ll find the weapon on the table inside.
Grognak’s Axe

Location: Just north-east of Diamond City look for a Hubris Comics building. When you enter the building look to your left, and you’ll see Grognak’s Axe in a locked glass box. You must have the advanced lockpicking skill in order to obtain Grognak’s Axe.
Furious Power Fist Weapon
Type: Melee WeaponBonus: Hit cause more stagger, and targets take bleed damage.
Location: In order to get this Melee weapon you have to defeat a huge boss Swan. Head to the Swan’s Pond, it’s to the right of Diamond City. You’ll find him next to the pond. The whole area has a lot of radioactivity. Since the boss is quite strong use Nuka Grenade and Molotov Cocktails to defeat him faster, or drop down mines and lure him into them.
Gamma Gun
Type: GunBonus: None
Location: You can get Gamma Gun on the bottom left corner of the map in Decayed Reactor Site. You’ll need Power Armor, or a Hazmat Suit in this area. You can get Hazmat Suit in the “Hugo Hole” place, on the right side of the map. Inside the crashed dome look for a corpse and loot it. There is a strong mob inside, lure it out before you loot the bead body.

Kremvh’s Tooth
Type: Knife
Bonus: Targets bleed and are poisoned. Exceptional damage.
Tesla Rifle
Location: This weapon can be found in Dunwich Borers, on the right side of the map, near Hugo’s Hole. This is a high level area, with numerous mobs, thus be careful. It’s pretty tricky to describe the exact location of the weapon because it’s hidden in an underground pond, and the whole area is radioactive, thus, you have to act fast. We suggest you to watch Kremvh’s Tooth video guide first.Shem Drowne Sword
Type: SwordBonus: Targets take radiation damage.
Location: In Diamond City look for Valentine Detective agency. Take the files from the office, that will trigger the quest The Gilded Grasshopper. It’s a long quest, but at the end it takes you to the graveyard where you have to dig up a grave.
