Protectron's Gaze is a unique laser pistol in Fallout 3.

Characteristics[]

Protectron's Gaze acts as a miniature laser shotgun that fires a fairly tight spread of five laser beams while expending only one energy cell. It has a slightly slower rate of fire and a significantly smaller magazine (20 as opposed to 30) than the standard laser pistol.

Durability[]

Protectron's Gaze can fire a total of 520 shots, or 26 full cells, from full condition before breaking.

Location[]

It is awarded after handing the AntAgonizer's armor to the Mechanist. The Mechanist states that the weapon is crafted from the parts of his loyal robot assistant that was killed by the AntAgonizer, the event that inspired him to become a superhero. The weapon cannot be obtained by killing him.

Notes[]

  • The spread remains consistently tight when firing outside of V.A.T.S. mode; however, when firing within V.A.T.S. mode, a registered "miss" will make the spread much wider than it is outside of V.A.T.S. mode (though some beams may still connect with the target, doing slight damage). For this reason, this weapon is more effectively used outside of V.A.T.S. mode.
  • The base damage is split between each of the beams, and each beam can cause a separate critical hit, doing extra damage per beam. Furthermore, a sneak attack critical will affect all beams, as they are all afforded the critical damage bonus up to +120.
  • Although the Mechanist gives you this weapon, you will not be able to obtain it by killing him, since it's a quest reward.
  • When targeting armed opponents outside of V.A.T.S., stray beams may disarm them.
  • A weapon of the same name can be acquired from the Mechanist in the Fallout 4 add-on Automatron.
