Fallout 3 Unique Weapons - Alien Blaster (not unique anymore)

• Dead Space 2: Prologue...
Click here to watch "Dead Space 2: Prologue [Fear with me - part1]" ----------
Unique pistol.
The Alien Blaster is one of the most powerful weapons in the game since a critical hit is guaranteed. You will more than often be able to take down any foe you encounter with one well-aimed shot to the head.
The Alien Blaster uses Alien Power Cells, a unique ammo that is extremely hard to find.
The Alien Blaster can be obtained next to the body of a dead alien lying a few feet away from his crashed spaceship. The Alien Crash Site is found due north of MDPL-13 Power Station and northwest of the Greener Pastures Disposal Site. There are only 120 Alien Power Cells found at the crash site.
The Alien Blaster can be given to Defender Casdin, in front of Fort Independence in exchange for a large amount of ammunition or aid items (it's worth 484 5.56mm or 20 stimpacks/radaway/frag grenades).
The only ways to repair the Alien Blaster aside from the usual vendors, are by using the Firelance as spare parts or alternatively, giving it to Defender Casdin, and stealing it back (or killing him and retrieving it from his corpse). It will be at 100% condition. It should be noted that pickpocketing Casdin is difficult, so you shouldn't give him the Alien Blaster unless you're prepared to pickpocket him unsuccessfully twenty or so times before you get your gun back (or whatever other item he'll accept that you want repaired to 100%).
Another way to steal it back is to use a Stealth Boy (I would have a spare just in case the escape takes too long). Even if you get caught the most you'll get is a "Caution" alert (note: as long as you remain in sneak mode and are not making too much noise). He will be looking for you but if you can get out of his range (i.e., the red indicator on your radar disappears and you get the "Hidden" status) you can fast travel to a safe location. After 3 to 4 game days Casdin resets and becomes friendly again.
It's also worth noting that this weapon, though very powerful, will quickly erode and be rendered useless, so stick to aimed headshots.
This weapon also has the effect of disintegrating any enemy killed with a critical shot by it (which is almost every shot), identical to a laser (with the exception that the disintegration effect is colored blue instead of red).
Alien Power Cells:
120 (10 magazines of 12 rounds) can be found in and around the Alien Crash Site.
96 (8 magazines of 12 rounds) can be found under an overturned truck in a radioactive crater west of Jury Street Metro Station (halfway to Fort Bannister, and south of VAPL-58 Power Station).
2-22 without the Scrounger perk (17 on average), or 2-122 with the perk (92 on average), can be found in two ammo boxes in Fort Independence, in the Outcast weapons room (Hard locked door) where you find the Miss Launcher.
24 can be found falling near you together with the Firelance in a random encounter.
At Fort Independence, Protector Casdin has 12 that you can pickpocket (or kill him). Sometimes he is killed by an Enclave attack.

At the time of making this video it was unique. The title part "Fallout 3 Unique Weapons" is a show title, and changing that title would change the title of all other videos in this show list. For this reason I have the (not unique anymore) at the end of this specific title.

[@OrcCorp]

No. I added it on the editing table. I dont have music in-game, since it distracts me.

[@OrcCorp]

This weapon in this video is Alien Blaster. Firelance can be found only thru a random event. I have videos for all unique weapons, for Firelance as well. Check my channel for more.

[@OrcCorp]

At Fort Independence, Protector Casdin has 12 that you can pickpocket (or kill him). 12 (24 with the Scrounger perk) can be found falling near you together with the Firelance in a random encounter.

[@OrcCorp]

You get it after Mothership Zeta. Or you use Dogmeat to fetch the weapon for you from distance, without activating the MZ quest.

[@smileWertom12]

the best thing about this weapon is, that its precision is so incredible!

[@OrcCorp]

Thanks =) U can see in the beginning that its located north from Minefield, since I show Minefield in the Pip-Boy map...

[@OrcCorp]

@94FrenchFry Wrong. Study your topic better before u start telling things to an expert of the game. Visit fallout . wikia . com and learn. And see my playlists, I have videos for all unique weapons, among other things.

[@OrcCorp]

After the Mothership Zeta questline, the weapon should be available normally.

[@OrcCorp]

@imaspazz1 Nope, there is only 2 of them. And before u try to convince me otherwise, visit Fallout wikia and learn more about the game.

[@Rez149]

I'd rather use the Captain's Sidearm myself. It uses alien power molecules (much more common than the rare alien power cells. Also, it isn't rusted.

[@halodoomplayer]

You can repair anything at Haley's Hardware at Point Lookout. You have to repair - transport - return. Every time you do, his repair ratio increases 5 points until you reach 100. Repaired the Alien Blaster and the Precision Laser.

[@OrcCorp]

@RockstarEnergy118 The damage of all energy weapons is related to your current Energy Weapons skill level. When u raise that level, the damage of all weapons will raise as well. So no matter when u pick up anything, only the level of the skill matters.

[@OrcCorp]

Read the description =)

[@OrcCorp]

Oh, my bad. Reverse-pickpocket it in Defender Casdins inventory and wait for some time. Steal it back and its in 100% condition. Its very hard to pickpocket him, so save ur game or be ready to kill him.

[@Lyoko104]

Way to use the pylons as guidance thanks Orcidea!

[@OrcCorp]

Just head north from Minefield and u will find that plant with those 3 tall pipes. From there follow the power lines to west, and when u get some radiation, turn to north and its close.

[@Garrison2]

Nicely done! Bring it on Deathclaws!

[@OrcCorp]

Its easy to find if u get to the power plant that has those three high pipes. From there just follow the power lines to the north. Continue until u pick up the radio signal Recon Craft Theta Beacon. After u start getting some radiation, head down the hill. Its right there.

[@Learntfish]

I found the Firelance on my way to finding the Alien Blaster xD

[@Rez149]

Lucky

[@baitposter]

You're forgetting the Experimental MIRV, & the Bottlecap grenade(only with all three ranks of demolition expert). Firelance has a base dmg of 80(i.e. it does less damage than the Alien Blaster)

[@OrcCorp]

Check my video "Behemoth at Capitol Building" ;)

[@OrcCorp]

With the Broken Steel add-on, you can find another one.

[@OrcCorp]

A second one can be found in the Broken Steel add-on. Adams Air Force Base, in the armory on the Mobile Base Crawler.

[@OrcCorp]

All weapons are for all platforms (except DLC weapons only for Xbox and PC).

[@OrcCorp]

Yes, Old Olney.

[@311man2]

If only you can get more ammunition for it

[@OrcCorp]

I believe I have the Regulator Duster with the Sheriff's Hat in this video.

[@LarryPokeTrainer]

Mothership Zeta and Broken Steel both add more power cells. There's also several locations in the game where you can get more, such as the Fort Independence armory, and Fort Bannister ground zero.

[@OrcCorp]

@drag117 Thats not the case. Only 2 Alien Blasters. That weapon u are talking about is the Captain's Sidearm, a variant of Alien Blaster, like Firelance. I have videos for all unique weapons, see my playlists.

[@isokessu]

Save the ammos if you find alien blaster. Btw there's more ammo in outcasts base (guys who wear red-black power armors) if you steal ammo from them, use stealth boy to get invisible and go to underground door under the bridge and get it open, it's on their armory in small ammo box close to the door what's under the bridge, there's also some other places on wasteland where's ammo for this. Btw you can sell this gun with good price for the outcast guy who buys laser weapons and stuff.

[@joshuaivanteranmartinez3080]

thanks for the tip

[@jochisfx]

6:10 haha great shot, you disarmed him just in time!

[@OrcCorp]

@doomboy334 No, two Alien Blasters, with Broken Steel add-on.

[@Borger322]

if you have mothership zeta installed and you want to get the alien blaster without being captured by the aliens, you can get dogmeat and tell him to find ammo and a weapon. (you have to be near the crashsite in order to get the alien blaster when you tell him to find ammo and aweapon. hope this helped.)

[@OrcCorp]

Hehe >D No problem ;)

[@OrcCorp]

Probably Crazy Wolfgang, the Caravan Merchant. His repair is 75.

[@OrcCorp]

Yea, Sentry Bots are hard ones to take down. I use Terrible Shotgun and Burnmaster for them, mostly.

[@blackbeatlezeppeler]

theres another place under an overturned truck in a radioactive crater west of Jury Street Metro Station (halfway to Fort Bannister, and south of VAPL-58 Power Station).

[@rondumarce501]

I have alien blaster, in broken steel there is 1 more and I have 2 fully condition blasters and 1000 alien power cells plus mothership zeta add on.

[@baitposter]

Actually, DPS for both the Alien Blaster and Firelance is 100. In terms of instant damage, Alien Blaster does 100, and Firelance does 80, but Firelance's ability to set enemies alight compensates.

[@259]

That's why you should get the Mothership Zeta DLC and use alien epoxy to repair the weapons. It works wonders for keeping it in top shape.

[@mrcello5399]

you can also repair it with alien epoxy, once you equip the blaster with low condition, simply use alien epoxy (only works to equipped weapons) more of them can be found in mothership zeta

[@garglebear]

Thank you, I never knew that.

[@Linguma]

in the broken steel DLC if you pick the lock to the armory in the platform place idk what its called, but the armory there has something like 50 ammo and an alien blaster

[@jamesoreilly1018]

Did it took a while but I figured it out, now I have to look up ammo spots

[@xavierthorn4652]

Overturned truck in a big crater east (??) of Fort Bannister. About 100 alien power cells. Don't worry about the rads, it's only 1 or 2 per second. If you have a lockpick of 100 you can break into the Fort where you trade with the Outcasts for ammo, about another 100 there.

[@FalloutMessiah]

i really think this is a little better than the firelance only with the perk that raises the damage of fire weapons by 50 percent and still the firelance only does more damage if you wait a full 5 seconds

[@OrcCorp]

Yes, but Alien Blaster has 100 critical multiplier and double the damage when critical hit, which means practically every shot does 200 damage when in 100% condition. Eugene has crit multiplier of 0 ;D

[@OrcCorp]

?? No. This is Fallout 3, as it says in the title. I have videos for New Vegas as well, see my playlists.

[@Aven2334]

thx man :D

[@ALostCAWs]

@deathcobra26 thats only if you have Broken Steel tho. so if you don't have Broken Steel, then it's still counted as a unique weapon.

[@h31212]

6:12 nice job disarming that super mutan

[@Zexis0710]

Another nice vid. I only wish that there was more ammo, otherwise I'd use this weapon more often. By the way, do you know which NPC has the highest repair skill in the game? My skill is at 100, but for weapons like this it really doesn't do me much good.

[@OrcCorp]

Are u talking to me? I know this all, u really dont have to teach me about this game. I have videos for all unique weapons, check my channel for more.

[@here4good]

i tend to use it against the tougher types of robots since they aren't really vulnerable to bullets or the shishkebab.

[@psychicumbreon]

This is without any DLCs, right? Please?

[@OrcCorp]

PsychicUmbreon Yes, this video was uploaded a week before the first DLC, Operation: Anchorage, was released.

[@psychicumbreon]

YES. I can get it then!

[@PREDS106]

Orcidea Do you know were I could find some bobby pins or a vendor that sells them I only have 3 left and have been searching for a while.

[@OrcCorp]

Sonny Creighton They are found all around, mostly in random loot, and randomly in vendors inventory. There is no one location to get hundreds of them, and since they mostly appear randomly, you really must go around to collect them. Here: fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Bobby_pin

[@PREDS106]

Orcidea​ thanks but ive found quite a lot now in the our lady of hope hospital:D

[@OrcCorp]

Watch my videos Keller Family Transcript 1-5...

[@JasonPBS]

That's a really good point, although there are loads of alien weapons aboard mothership zeta.

[@thehermitwizard]

It takes about 7 or 8 shots, depending on how many actually land.

[@MegaMonkeyChunk]

Go to options. It's possible to make it orange, white blue and green from there.

[@OrcCorp]

I used a console command for the ammo, for this video, so I wouldnt run out ammo during the demonstration.

[@estevansolis]

@rtouty22 actually after mothership zeta you get teleported to the alien crash sight but wihout the ship just go get it from the alien corpe.

[@CODOGisOMEGA]

No. But if you help finance Uncle Roe at Canterbury Commons for the specific Merchants, Lucky Harith (weapons), Crow (armor), Good Doctor (chems) and Crazy Wolfgang (miscellaneous) which will cost you 200caps for the first expand, and 500caps for the full deal. It will boost repairs to about 96% - 97%, and you'll get a bonus from each of the Merchants the first time you meet them. So, it'll be wise to invest in that ^_^

[@Heaty90]

@Orcidea A question and I would appreciate it if you would help but isn't this gun a energy weapon but why would you need small guns for it to be good.

[@1berkut47]

No, that is there on the base game. But with Mothership Zeta DLC, you will get abducted by aliens if you move close to the ship.

[@limitsora69]

@rtouty22 get dogmeat to get it NEAR the ship, you can command him to to find ammo, weapons, etc. for you

[@desertdunebuggy]

i noticed when it reloads it looks like the magnum reload because when its done relaoding the character swings it to the left

[@homfri111]

@ThePeanutGangsta yes actually there a tipped over army truck north a of tennpenn tower in a BIG ass crater but becarfull it took me a while to find a ledge to jump out of it though (closer to the army base in the sw corner by the robco plant that genral area youll have to look but i got alien blaster ammo but no blaster

[@MrJiggmin1234]

After you complete Mothership Zeta you'll be teleported back to that spot. There you can get the Alien Blaster.

[@IPlayTooMuchCod1]

Hey if u have mothership zeta can u get the alien blaster or can u get it when u get out of mothership zeta, I also thing u can get ammo from the fort bannister crater

[@OrcCorp]

Nice to hear u like my videos ;)

[@TheMusicOfMind]

the firelance the new unique alien blaster it has a 126 critacal damage and flaming alien power cell it be found in only quiet places so yull hear the explosion it was held by a alien captain it might take awhile cuz u have to find them one by one

[@farmerfrugal]

there is actually 4 alien blasters in fallout 3 (including broken steel) theres one where all of you know then theres this one near this dead guy then theres twon in broken steel when you go to the crawler base

[@TheMidnightMartin]

Yeah, if you have the companion ''Dogmeat'' ( hes a dog) you can find him at the Scrapyard, but he can search for ammo and guns if you tell him to. He will bring the blaster and ammo to you.

[@ledzeppelinfan89]

i have beat this game 3 times and i ran across the alien ammo and it made me curious so i got on youtube and found this

[@chaos9115]

there is also another alien blaster location it is in the adams air force base at the armory

[@foxkas]

omfg! that is so cooool! but do u only find ammo at the crash? no other plases?

[@OrcCorp]

This if you dont have the Pyromaniac perk, Firelance if you do have it. Either way, Firelance is not very durable (breaks fast in use): only half of Alien Blaster's durability.

[@deadsilencer87]

also to all u guys who say this is hard ammo yeah sorta but not really if u know where to go ( not hacks also didnt get any help from any1 finding) 1: fort independence inside the armory 2: with the alien blaster 3:east from jury street metro ( once u start picking up 1 rads just keep heading till there is crater and find overturned army truck 4; from firelance PS: i suggest u get scrounger perk cause from only 3 of those locations i have 230 ammo ^__^

[@Megagreengrasshopper]

This is probably my favorite gun in the game. The way it looks is so stereotypical alien looking.

[@ColdNorthProductions]

Find the Intelligence Bobblehead, Put as many as possible in it at level 20, read as many skill books as possible and fidn the energy weapons bobblehead. Chances are though that you're screwed. But don't worry, it has limited ammo unless you use glitches and it's still great with less than 100 energy weapons skill

[@cassius969]

I think you get it after the mission, then you can collect it from the crashsite.

[@dat_Sparrow]

@notraxz did you have the add on mothership Zeta when you got their? Thats why.

[@madboy1105]

@Pain0rDeath no u cannot get it again so the ammo u find there is the only one ull ever find

[@AlkiFighter]

I'm afraid you dont my friend. The firelance is an unique Alien Blaster. It uses the same type of amma as the normal blaster (alien power cells) but when target is hit it sets target on fire. You can get the firelance + some amount ofa mmo in random encounter. if you are lucky you will hear a mortar and then explosion sound aand the Firelance and some ammo will fall from the sky. (propably as a gift from aliens.)

[@superflossman]

@TheDracopire You go back to the beacon thing and it's right there on the ground, man.

[@OrcCorp]

Just like it states in the description.

[@jacobmitchell8352]

I wish there was more animals for a sexy beautiful gun

[@Commander_Spyke]

Actually, there's alot more, if you find the secret stash in the outcast base, and the crashed military truck inside a crater near fort bannister, then that has, (what I think), about 100 rounds. :D

[@superflossman]

@IPlayTooMuchCod1 Yeah, when the questline is done, you can go back and it's there.

[@whitefangv]

That battle looks like a lot of fun. Is it part of some quest?

[@Mrscool1321]

@IRemainSick fort independence or the other fort theres a big valley and a crashed truck and more alien power cells

[@scalenekilla]

I was walking through MDPL-21 power station when something flew through the air above me and blew up in a flash of green there was alien ammo scattered everywhere

[@noxus323]

it means that to repair the alien blaster, you have to use the firelance to repair it yourself, and it would be a waste to repair it that way cause the firelance is way better.

[@micahcavazos530]

Hey I love ur videos they are really helpful

[@RQS321]

When the homing beacon is set is it possible to get the alien blaster? or is it even possibe to get it when you have mother ship zeta, :/ its realy pointless that the big alien guns have less damidge :/

[@temp87]

Found the alien blaster when i did the wasteland survival guide quest, went to the super duper mart and a raider tried to shoot with it. I was like lvl 3 or 4 so got it quite early ^^

[@quellest]

Epic! But, where do you resupply the ammo for it when it runs out?

[@Gyr0scope]

You have to beat mother ship zeta. Then you get beamed back down, thus being able to grab the alien blaster.

[@Oksobasically2]

i have the captains sidearm from zeta its similar in apperance but its like a shotgun when shot very affective at close range

[@elvobluepwnz]

i only use this gun for decoration since the ammo for it is really rare im saving it until for big bosses in the incoming dlcs maybe....
