If something does not have a source (marked with something like: ), chances are it was made up or it is not backed by any real game/official lore.įO3 weapons have been rebalanced for TTW 3.0. The Wiki has a lot of made up and incorrect information so take it with a grain of salt. But it makes sense they wouldn't provide the best quality weapons to someone they don't really know and just hired to see if they can do a good job or not.Īlso there is no reference on the Wiki about the Mojave Wasteland energy weapons being inferior to the Capital Wasteland ones.

Those are a bit weaker than the normal ones, but the Van Graffs do not sell those, the only way of using those is when you get hired to guard the front door. There is a version of Laser Rifle and Plasma Rifle named with the "Van Graff" before the Laser Rifle and Plasma Rifle name. If you repair the Van Graff weapons to max durability, they are as powerful as any other weapon of that type (they also are as powerful as any other weapon of that type if they have the same durability).

What the Wiki means by "much poorer overall quality" is not that they are weaker than the other ones, but that are in more disrepair (their weapons are sold in a state with "more damaged" weapon durability).

This way you could make energy weapons powerful without disturbing the balance, since you would still have to work to get the good ones, where the regular ones would stay their normal (unremarkable) selves, only with a nametag attached to them. But in NV you just beat up some lightly armored fiends or fork over a few caps at Silver Rush and you are set. So what would be valid? Either way i think it would be a good way to solve the whole energy weapon conundrum, i had real serious problem dealing with the Enclave before i did Mothership Zeta and got access to alien weapons, since energy weapons are so weak they are no longer a valid counter to PA, but making them strong enough to counter PA would make things unballanced in Mojave, in CW you only find your first energy weapons after you have already faced the Enclave, i had to kill my first Enclave trooper with firearms, and i only got the Plasma rifle in the Fort (and that gun served me quite nicely trough the campaign). The wiki is not a valid source of lore, it's often made up.
