at that point i think of it as the energy equivalent of the scoped varmit gun, good for sneak attack sniping till armor shows up. Honestly the only real use for that gun is when you get the scope. The laser rifle is actually pretty bad, a max repaired laser rifle does 15 damage, that's little more then the recharging rifles 9. Don't go into a laser rifle or plasma weapon thinking its going to be the end all be all. 50 round but I've always found those rounds to be a lot harder to keep in stock then Microfusion rounds.ģ) Energy weapons are very niche oriented there usually isn't a 1 gun fits all situation. Sure the anti material rifle only uses 1. Sure you can convert gun round but its a lot more of complicated with the primers and the casings then switching energy around. For example all those small energy cells u didn't use because you had the recharging rifle? you can make it into microfusion cells for your Q35 easily. In reality its because its so easy to get energy weapon rounds. people often complain that energy weapons seem inefficent, like how the Gause rifle uses 4/5 rounds a shot or how the multi plas and the Laser RCW drain cells like a college student at a kegger. it makes you hold on you empty EW ammo more often, it makes recycling more efficient AND it give you better ammo. Ģ) Get Vigilant Recylcer as soon as you can, sure at 70 science it might be a little much for some folks to get it at lvl 6 but if you use energy weapons you really really want it as soon as you can. You don't want to use the gun for very long but initially before you start to run into armor it'll serve you well. That can help you vaporize folks quasi sniper like. But its got its advantages, it doesn't use ammo so you can feel free to spam a target and not worry about using up too many energy cells and it has a awesome.

Yes its heavy, yes its not a powerful gun. Alot of it may just seem like common sense but it doesn't hurt to have a recapġ) Walk out of Doc's house? forget that laser pistol and get a Recharging rifle. Here are a collection of tips and suggestions, particularly in the early game.

Sure they are a little weak initially but with a little planing we can make it work. As a fan of energy weapons its a little sad to see them outclassed by Guns but NV isn't that a hard game and Energy weapons are still more then capable of getting your courier to the end game.
