The LAER is pathetic!

The LAER HP is too low!
It's gotten to a point were I can't even kill 4 Roboscorpions without loosing this gun! Why is it's hp so low? There should be a weapon mod to increase it or something! :sadvaultboy:

Hmmm .... maybe there's a problem with your Energy Weapons skill? My EW skill is 100 and I carry Weapon Repair Kits, and I can tell you that I kill most things with one or two shots with the LAER.

i've found the weapons to be rather weak in terms of damage versus anything in BigMT i typically just used the proton axes. and i wasn't really speced as a melee character.

The LEAR does some pretty hefty damage. However the HP svcks. Your better off with a hunting rifle at full health.

According G.E.C.K. data, LAER's HP is 75. Surprise eh?

And, Elijah's advanced LAER's HP is 50.

With the Prismatic Lens mod Elijah's LAER does 30% more damage that the 65 it hits at normally. The Auxiliary Recharger Clip mod is useful too. At this level it hits somewhat harder than a Holorifle fully modded and much more often. A very nice weapon.

Indeed it is. But still, it's pretty low HP.

Isn't it a mute point for those that have Dead Money?

*Walks to Vending Machine*

*Pops in a few of his Fourteen Thousand Madre Chips*

*Walks away with a hundred Repair Kits*

Not really for something that rapid fire. A DPS of almost 180 with an energy weapon is unusual, only the Gatling Laser and the Plasma Caster do more and they are Heavy Weapons.

OK HP ... duh. Sure but I always carry many weapon repair kits.

With Dead Money it wouldn't matter if the gun had 10 HP, you got an infinite supply of Repair kits as it is.

I jsut wish the same could be said with armor. Tired of hocking 10k+caps or several suits of medium armor for the stealth suit.

Anyhow, I find the power behind the LAER a good enough reason to use it and keep 2 or so repair kits handy.

Its a glass cannon of sorts its hard hitting but the limited health makes it an emergency weapon unless your carrying aroun weapon repair kits.
