Zeta gun - Similar to Lorenzo's Artifact, the Zeta gun is a standard gamma gun with a unique "Zeta Wave Barrel" weapon mod. Lorenzo's Artifact gun - Unique variant (actually a standard gamma gun with a unique Lorenzo's Artifact weapon mod) that deals 25 points explosion and 10 points radiation damage per hit and can cause significant knockback on human targets. Lorenzo's Artifact: (direct hit) 14! (area of effect) 28! + 88 + 80 total on direct hit target: 210. Gamma gun: (direct hit) 200 (area of effect) 108 + 30! + 15! total on direct hit target: 200 + 153.

Lorenzo's Artifact: (direct hit) 7! (area of effect) 7! + 44 + 40. Hold fire to charge additional electrical damage.įootnote: The electric signal carrier antennae significantly changes how the gamma gun and the Lorenzo's Artifact version functions. (Need Gamma Gun Lorenzo's Artifact weapon mod) (Need Gamma Gun Zeta Wave Barrel weapon mod) The radiation-immunity-penetrating damage also means that the gamma gun will still do damage against radiation-immune enemies due to how radiation works in Fallout 4.Ĭhanges weapon damage into Zeta Wave radiation. With the electric signal carrier antennae, the damage of the gamma gun changes allowing it to charge a degree of energy damage in addition to its radiation poisoning upon a direct hit. The weapon launches a small burst of radiation damage that explodes on impact, dealing a significant dose of radiation poisoning (100, or a 10% loss in maximum health) on a direct hit. The primary damage type of gamma guns is radiation damage, meaning that most gamma guns have little effect on robots, ghouls, super mutants and other enemies with a degree of radiation resistance.
The grip appears to be a handle-less spatula, welded onto a rectangular piece of metal pipe and stuck onto a piece of solid steel to unite it with the rest of the weapon. Assorted wiring, piping, and other junk protrudes out of the rear of this structure, along with the three gamma round cells arranged in a triangular shape on top.
The "dish" of the weapon is a small metal bowl with some metal wiring running towards the center and the central housing is a steel hexagonal structure with holes of varying size and shape. The gamma gun is a crude weapon with the appearance of being built from scavenged parts found throughout the wasteland.
