Syringer (Fallout 4)

The syringer is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Characteristics[]

The syringer is a weapon that uses air pressure to propel custom-made syringes at a target. Rather than dealing direct damage, the Syringer is used to weaken the target with various effects. This weapon supports a wide variety of injectable ammo, all of which can be crafted at chemistry stations.

The syringer does not benefit from Quick Hands, Rifleman, Mister Sandman, Bloody Mess, or Ninja, but Sniper 1 and 3 both work.

Pax syringe	Chance to make the target non-violent for 30 seconds.	39		Unknown, but appears to be 100 unless the target is a robot (i.e. Gen 1 and 2 synths included, but Gen 3 synths aren't immune).	30	Mutfruit x2, Nuka-Cola x1	0	1	00058AF7

• Recipe Notes:
  • Abraxo cleaner recipes will not work with the undamaged or industrial grade variants, even though they are otherwise identical and strictly better, respectively. The opportunity cost for abraxo is 1 Acid + 2 Antiseptic + 1 Fiberglass.
  • Anti freeze bottle recipes will not work with Suprathaw antifreeze (even though it's the same thing but with more in it) and have an opportunity cost of 2 Acid + 2 Plastic.

Locations[]

• Slim, a ghoul chem dealer near the D.B. Technical High School will sell this.
• Reward for completion of the quest Hole in the Wall, given by Dr. Jacob Forsythe after Austin has been given the cure.
• Basement of the Greater Mass blood clinic.
• Inside the Advanced locked room of the Milton General Hospital on the second floor.
• In the Mass Bay medical center, near the Chemistry Station.

In the larger of the two rooms, there is a trail of plungers going up the wall and across the ceiling to the middle, where the trail stops. Beneath the boards where the trail stops the rifle and a caps stash are slightly visible, and they will fall to the floor if you shoot the boards down.
• In a small building along the east-west road north of Vault 81, in the (Novice-locked) back room, on a shelf next to the door.
• Dylan's note leads to a grave which can be excavated using a shovel. The Syringer can be found inside a crate after excavating the grave.
