It actually makes your gun WORSE in all ways and forms. The normal laser rifle does like 11 damage(the one i had did). I put this mod on it to see what it does. The mod says "it splits the laser into two and increaes its damage 30". What it did was was split the damage in 3, and didn't increase the DPS at all. DPS would be unchanged on a zero DT enemy... but most enemies have plenty of DT, and this gun which does like 3.1x3 wouldn't do squat to any of them. Completely worthless mod.

It increases the DAM by 30%, not increases the DPS by 30...

It doesn't do anything of the sort. I'm aware what it says. The rifle had like 10-11 damage before and fires only one shot, afterwards it now fires THREE shots for the same total damage per those three shots. so if it did 9 before the three shots do 3 each. If you know anything about the game you know you just turned a mediocre early gun into a piece of complete and utter trash that would take 100 shots to kill a mole rat.

Actually, it's even worse than I thought. It lowers the daage by one point, and then splits that number into 3 different sources of damage. So if you had a 10 damage rifle, it would go to 9, then it would divide into 3x3. Anything you fight with this weapon will suddenly morph into a a giant rad scorpion. Makes zero sense.

Gosh.. don't use it then lol.. The gun isn't even that great anyways.

Thanks for your permission to not use it. i was really worried there for awhile. it does not answer the question way it is such a worthless piece of junk. Why would they even waste one moment of programming time to put that in? Complete waste or another bug.

Clearly it was programmed that way simply to annoy you.

Laser weapons are miserable. Do not use them. Just use guns.

Yup its a bug there seem to be quite a few glitchy bits in the energy weapons group. I dont know if they will ever be assed enough to actualy go back and fix it tho.

Laser (and plasma) weapons are a big disappointment in New Vegas. The devs want you to use those single shot bolt rifles, wild-west style, so dumbed down all the other guns. Stupid really.

I found a nice laser weapon though, Laser NV? or somesuch, it's like a laser sniper-rifle tommygun, and you can fire so many shots with it that it doesn't matter that it isn't that powerful. Favourite gun ever. :gun:

oopsie that was a bit off-topic, sorry
